The answer to the question: Where did we come from? lies with Homo Erectus....not some stupid assed god.

http://www.theguardian.com/science/2013/...-evolution

Quote:The remains at Dmanisi are thought to be early forms of Homo erectus, the first of our relatives to have body proportions like a modern human. The species arose in Africa around 1.8m years ago and may have been the first to harness fire and cook food. The Dmanisi fossils show that H erectus migrated as far as Asia soon after arising in Africa.

Of course we have. We've been using tools since the time of the dinosaurs!

And, according to the creationists, apparently a documentary showing how man and dinosaurs coexisted before the Great Flood.
