It is ridiculous to me that intelligent human beings actually believe we come from apes. On the other hand, I do not mean to insult their intelligence. Evolution is more a religion than a belief. I think those who believe in it should be very careful and pray that they are doing the right thing. I could never believe in it unless God Himself told me it was so.

Prove what?, so far, he hasn´t prove that there is a tree of science, or that snakes speak or that two people can have children being the first created beings in the earth and one of the kids marry somebody else they have not begotten. Please, who is lying?, who is the one who holds a belief?
Er, My Brain Hurts, we do come from an earlier species of Ape (the common ancestor which you refer to was, indeed, an ape). We are apes, albeit a very highly-evolved species of ape. Though looking at Jesuslover1968's post and others like it makes me question that.
Here we go again with the "Argument From Personal Incredulity" approach. Look, I will explain this for the last time: just because you, personally, have a problem accepting something as true, that doesn't automatically mean that it isn't true. For example, every time I see Brittney Spears on TV, I can't believe people actually pay money to buy her shitty music. But they do. My personal beliefs do not define reality, and neither do yours.
Er, Windfoxie - yes I know, which is why I say human and apes share a common ancestor. jesuslover's argument just sounded like to old fundie standby that apes can not give birth to human spontaneously, blah, blah, blah. This is what I was trying to refute - not that we are not a species of apes).

Well of course, but that's precisely because they are intelligent, and you're not.
"On the other hand, I do not mean to insult their intelligence."
Fine. Except...
"Evolution is more a religion than a belief."
Now you're insulting they're intelligence. They are intelligent enough to know that evolution is not a religion and doesn't resemble one in any way whatsoever.
"I think those who believe in it should be very careful and pray that they are doing the right thing."
Do you also think those who believe in gravity should be very careful and pray that they are doing the right thing?
"I could never believe in it unless God Himself told me it was so."
Yeah, well since 'God himself' has never catually told you or anybody else who's ever lived anything at all, I guess you're going to have to remain an ignoramus for the rest of your life.
The arguments against acceptance of evolution boil down primarily to a series of P.R.A.T.T.S. whose proponents continue to make, loudly and at length, either out of astounding ignorance or in hopes that, if they repeat the same lie long enough, it will become true--or at least that it will drown the other side in a screaming tide of ignorance.
So, you would also never believe in the germ theory, or a spherical Earth, unless God Himself told you it was so, right?
Btw, where are the four corners of the World?
Confused?
So were we! You can find all of this, and more, on Fundies Say the Darndest Things!
