2 questions for those we believe we came from apes...
1. Where is the missing link or the half man half ape? The middle of evolution is not there but only the most primitive monkey, and the most advanced man
2. When and how did the monkey get a human conscience and morality, the capability for abstract thought like math, music, science, legal judgement..?

1. We didn't. We have a common ancestor with apes.
2. It didn't. We didn't evolve from monkeys either. The capability for abstract thought is not a uniquely human trait. Crows, dolphins, cats, dogs, and even baby ducklings show the capacity for abstract thought. Pigs can play videogames.
Humans are much better at it because our forebrains are more developed compared to other animals. This capability is absolutely 100% dependent on this area of the brain. When this part of the brain is damaged, we lose that ability. Look up Phineas Gage for instance. account for human conscience, free will

So how does evolution account for human conscience? any evidence or do I have to have a lot of FAITH
