No unlike most people I don't know what happened that brought humans here and unlike the groups of people on either side of this debate I don't force my view on anyone else. I'm open minded, but I have questions like

1. If we did evolve what did we first evolve from and what circumstance put whatever organism we evolved from here on Earth

2. If we evolved from monkeys then why are there still monkeys?
They are fair questions to ask. I think it always important to question, after all evolution is only a theory with a set amount of evidence to support it. I am most inclined to go with evolution as I think it makes the most sense. It has nothing to do with indoctrination as Bilbo suggests. I am someone that really does question everything, whence my cynicism. I seldom accept anything at face value, but in this case I think science has the more coherent suggestions as to how life has come about as it has. I struggle to take creationism seriously as in any way a reasonable explanation for existance.

I'm cynical about a lot of things and religion itself is something I struggle to take seriously too, but that's another topic entirely. I do respect people who have their particular faiths though. They have a certainty that I just don't have.
