The concept of evolution in America is completely different from that espoused by scientists in the rest of the world. I worked closely with a group of European botanists for several years, and they had to explain a lot of things to me.
The fact that this is insulting shows there is a distinct difference between humans and animals. We have something they don’t, the image of God, and to be compared to them is degrading.
I agree with the comic strip version because after all, comic strips are supposed to make us forget our day to day woes and make us laugh whether true or not. One of my teachers told me he didn’t believe in evolution because he said to look at all the people in Washington and you tell me if there is a difference.
Apes. And humans didn’t evolve from apes. Humans are great apes. (And, in this context, “great” doesn’t mean “very good”, “terrific”, or anything like that. It means “large”.)

I do, monkeys seem to be a lot smarter. At least smarter than a lot of people that I have to deal with.

Common misconception. The Theory of Evolution does not postulate humans evolved from monkeys. The Theory is that we have a common ancestor.

Come on Hobbes. The lack of a tail speaks volumes of evolution. At least as far as tails go. Everything else? …meh

This little volume does a great job of explaining evolution. It is about 15 years old, but it stands the test of time:
