"Darwin was the first to use data from nature to convince people that evolution is true, and his idea of natural selection was truly novel. It testifies to his genius that the concept of natural theology, accepted by most educated Westerners before 1859, was vanquished within only a few years by a single five-hundred-page book. On the Origin of Species turned the mysteries of life's diversity from mythology into genuine science." -- Jerry Coyne

Modern humans and modern chimpanzees look similar because these two ape species are more closely related to each other than any other apes.
If evolution is false, we could never call creationists "knuckle draggers"
