Do you accept Evolution? Why or Why not

Uggghh. The "do you believe in evolution" argument often gets messy and convoluted. So here's what I believe:

Humans have always been a separate, distinct, intellectually-superior species from all other living things. Humans are not a result of another lesser species and never have been. The human that is alive today is virtually the same as the very first human that ever lived.

"But bimmy, don't be an idiot. Don't you believe in any sort of evolution at all?" Of course. However, I believe that whatever aspects of evolution that conflict with the aforementioned position are entirely false. Anything outside of this, however, is secondary, and I am generally open to discussing the possibilities.

 

And I would LOVE to talk about the abortion issue.

And where were these original humans from? They sprang out of the mud?

Humans have always been more intelligent than other species, yes (perhaps not dolphins), but you can't deny that an average human now is smarter than the average human 100 years ago, let alone 4 million.

Ok Ill bite. I can most certainly deny that. The average human may be becoming more educated, but that does not mean they are smarter, and there is a huge difference. Sure, the technology we have now is greater then ever before, but that is because it is being slowly built on. The ancient egyptians who were capable of building pyramids, or the Romans, were in no way dumber then we are now.
