I want a chance to explain the basic foundation of Evolution to Creationists. I always held that the reason they (you) are generally denying it, is lack of basic understanding and not because they want to deny facts. Further down I included a crude Human and Chimp graphical representation.
As you can see, Humans did not "Evolve From" Chimpanzees, but have a common Ancestor. This tree later branched of to various others and so forth.
During one period, our Ancestor was "Not-Human" and then became "Human". This is mere labels we use to define things and does not work between one, two or even thousands of generations, but millions. One time the change had become so much that we no longer defined it as "None-Human" but as "Human".
It is also important to point out to Creationist that Humans are not the end nor are we Superior to other species. We are merely Human, just as Chimpanzees are Chimps, they are a different branch going a different way because of Natural Selection, Humans are superior to being humans, whiles Chimpanzees are superior to being Chimpanzees and so on.
Please tell me what it is you do not understand with this basic fact, and what you need to have explained to accept this fact as I know plenty on this forum would gladly assist, and I will do my best as well. I apologize for the crude and poor representation, I made it in a haste, and it is a mere Graphical Explanation to make it as simple as possible, I used a similar, but better, one when I went through this with my dear Wife.
