My Dad used to say that he didn't believe in evolution because he isn't a monkey.

I explained to him that he isn't. He accepted the explanation and reinforced the idea that he did not come from a monkey.

I believe that evolution is the probable origin of man and that the bible stories are allegory. I don't call my dad "delusional" to bully him out of his beliefs. Even if I thought that, it wouldn't be polite would it?
