Firstly there is no proof that evolution from monkey/apes to humans exists. I personally beleive this is how we came about but being the articulate and anal science person that I am I am well aware that this is a theory not a fact.
Secondly, the lovely rational separation of religion and state (I will explain this joke in a moment) has been used to subjagate Ingigenous peoples all over the world, crushing their culture and their beleif systems. As their beleif systems are inticately bound up with the land, this has not only led to a denial of their rights to practice their religion but has also kept them impoverished and at the lowest end of the heirarchical capitalist society.
2b. the above mentioned joke is that a real separation of church and state has existed until fairly recently and still pops up in lots of political issues and documentation.
Thirdly, and this again realtes to Indigenous cultures and multiculturalism in general: creationism, like evolution, is a theory. The assumption that creationism is the adam and eve story from genesis is ethnocentric and blatanly racist as it excludes the creation stories of every culture throughout the plantet of earth. If you do not know all the creation stories how can you possibly make a judgement on them??
Forthly, there are many people who subscribe to different faiths who see their stories of creationism as evolution, and not as mutually exclusive ideas. What is millions of years to a God???
