A certain percentage of the same chromosomes thus proving a link between us and them a link that can only be through a common ancestry millions or even billions of years past. Your creationist idea points to 1 story in 1 book, however evolution points to and this is no exaggeration billions upon billions of evidence only a fool would deny. Now contrary to radical religious belief evolution does not threaten the existence of god

In fact as Darwin himself said it just strengthens it proving how the magnificence if evolution is in itself divine once you understand it. Try expanding your knowledge and understand nature instead of denying yourself knowledge after all part of the gift to man is intelligence and a desire to learn understand and improve

Evolution tells about how life could have originated without the need of a creator or any supernatural influence in the process. While it doesn't necessarily cross out the idea of a creator, it's an assumption that can be crossed out since it is unnecessary in the theory. Using Occam's razor, theories and hypotheses with more assumptions will make these less factual / weigh lesser than it's alternatives.

Not really. Better off just using the net, a book will be out of date by the time you read it. Dragons of Eden by Carl Sagan was an interesting read though.
