Re: How did humans come about?
There are plenty of mythologies as to where/how humans were created, not just the Bible. In fact, the study of cross-cultural creation myths is really interesting (and I was just listening to a lecture on this very thing, comparing the Babylonian myth with the Biblical creation account).
Evolution does not propose that "humans came from apes". That's a big misunderstanding. The theory proposes that humans evolved from some very ancient "apelike" ancestor, from which, possibly, some other apes also evolved, all over the course of millions of years. Humans share 99% of their DNA with chimpanzees, so it's not as far fetched as all that, but nobody seriously thinks that humans evolved from chimpanzees, or gorillas, or any other living/known primate.
As for the answer, I don't know, and I don't really much care. I know a lot of theories, scientific, pseudo-scientific, mythical, symbolic, and on and on, and it's all very interesting, but at the end of the day, it's just more questions.
May the light surround you, may you be blessed. May the light surround us, may we be blessed. May love and light surround us all, and may we all be healed and blessed. And so it is, and so it shall be, now and ever after.
