My theist girlfriend thinks its ridiculous that we evolved from apes. We were having a discussion about things while watching "The Bible" mini-series. She said she is open to the possibility that there is no god, but still thinks the evolution of apes to humans is a crock of shit. She said she learned about evolution in school, but didn't let me get into the discussion any further. (Typical believer. "I think I'm right, but I'm not going to let you say anything that makes logical sense, because it will make me look stupid") I'm not sure she really has an understanding of how it works or she would be able to see how humans could have evolved from apes.
So my question to you all is how would you simplify evolution so I don't have to just say "go read for yourself", because I know she won't. What would be the easiest way to explain how evolution takes place in layman's terms?
Also if you may have some answers to other related questions such as "how long it would take for humans to evolve from apes?", etc., I would love to hear those also. With enough logic I think I can show her what reality looks like.
