Evolution means humans and apes evolved from a common ancestor. Proven via miller/urey. Creationism means we don't know where/when existence began so here is a myth. I consider creation myths an important part of culture but they should not be taught in a publicly funded school.
Our common ancestor was an ape though...
I've actually heard some people advocate we are monkeys for the same reason (old world monkeys and new world monkeys make this the case)
