Quote ="kirkstaller"There is no evidence that we evolved from animals. If there is, I'd love for you to show me it.'"
I don't have time to provide a list of peer reviewed scientific papers however the following link compiles some of the evidence which supports evolutionary theory. The article is supported by peer reviewed scientific papers
www.talkorigins.org/faqs/comdesc/
The below paper provides an excellent example of evolution in action although there are many other instances of evolution being directly observed in the lab and in nature
www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC2430337/
I know however you will reject any evidence that i provide as it contradicts your particular book of myths. Although you are correct that we didn't evolve from animals as we are still animals.
Quote That's if you can spare 5 minutes away from swinging from tree to tree eating bananas.'"
This inane comment does nothing other than demonstrate a lack of maturity on your part.
Quote How can we be apes when apes are animals? '"
This is like asking how can someone who is English be a Brit when Brits are Europeans. I cannot believe anybody could be ask such a dumb question, although given your previous comment regarding humans not being apes because we are humans nothing you say surprises me any more. Do you actually think about what you post before you actually type?
Creationists who ask why if we "evolved from monkeys" there are still monkeys around sound like intellectuals in comparison to what you have written.
Quote My 3 year old son knows what animals are. You obviously don't.'"
Given that you somehow think that humans do not belong to the kingdom of Animalia I suggest that I have a much better grasp of what constitutes an animal than you do. I hope you do not pass down such ignorance to your son.
Quote My 3 year old just laughed when I told him a fully grown human didn't know the difference between people and animals.'"
I'd assume he laughed because he realised that even at three years of age he is already more intelligent than his dad. The difference between people and animals is about the same as the difference between Bradfordians and Europeans
Quote Seriously, I see where you're coming from in that we have similar genetics. However, whilst it may appear that we are part of the same family, where you incorrectly see 'evolution', I see God's fingerprints. Tell me, if you were molding a batch of figurines from the same clay, there would be similarities between the physical properties of each one, wouldn't there? If you were painting many different styles of pictures,they'd all have the same signature, wouldn't they?'"
There is far more to genetics than just similarity amongst species. Creationists may be able to argue away genetic similarities with "same genes, same designer" however there is far more to the genetic evidence than mere similarities.
The link I provided provides examples of exactly where creationism is unable provide a sufficient explanation for genetic similarities. Engenous retroviral insertion is one of the clearest examples which cannot be explained by creationists.

Quote We all have God's signature imprinted in us. Just because we see it in animals doesn't mean we are the same as them -it means we have the same creator.'"
No it doesn't if humans and other animals shared for instance a different genetic code then this would not refute creationism however had such an observation occurred then evolution would be falsified. #similarities do not in anyway mean we have the same creator as they are not a prediction of creationism, they are however a prediction of evolutionary theory and such observations could have falsified evolution had they been different.
Quote Christian scientists did, yes.'"
Which is completely irrelevant to the point I made. However it was Christian doctrine which was used as justification for the sun orbiting the earth.
Quote Scientists have demonstrated no such thing.'"
Yes they have. Simply pretending the evidence that shows that you creation myth is just that a myth and that evolution provides the best explanation of the biological data does not exist will make it go away.
Quote Care to tell me how creationism fails to explain each of the above?'"
I don't have time to go into full detail, however creationism cannot explain the genetic similarities amongst living organisms as the above link shows. Creationism also cannot explain the existence of transitional fossils hence why creationists deny the existence of transitional fossils despite the fact there are numerous examples of such fossils
