I do think we evolve, and millions of years ago, we were something very different. But to read a book that tells you where we came from, is as much a religion as saying god made us.

We really have no clue how we started. I am confident one day we will, just not yet.

To my point. If you took an astronomy class in the 1960's, and asked any professor what the surface of Venus was. Every one would have given you an answer. None of them would have said "we don't know".

None of them would have been right.

This is what I mean. Today, we don't know. Why can't we just say that?

People can't stand not having expinations for things.

"It's probably this" is 100 times better then "I don't know"...

and if enough people agree that "it's probably this" it becomes "It is this.  Definitly.  But not really... but we won't mention the not really part... just that it probably is."

I think evolution is highly probable it's what i'd go with.  There are other possibilties out there... stuff we might not even conceive yet.  It's really hard to judge evolution since we have such limited lifespans.. and don't have the technology to run tests to let one species turn into another type of species.

Heck, you yourself said you believe 100% that there isn't a god.  You don't really KNOW that... since you would likely need to know everything about the universe to make such a conclusion.
