our supposed past

I turned a corner and was surprised to see strangers looking at me at the Mind Museum. They looked like people caught in the middle of doing some mischief... particularly the guy with an armload of firewood. After recovering from the shock, I realized that these barely clad "people" formed a tableau of what human evolution researchers believe to be our ancestors. It was such a surreal experience being in front of life-size models of hominids because I've only seen these in books or in the internet before. In the museum, they seemed more human, more real. 

However, is this model right? Did people come about via creation or was it through evolution?

I've heard people defend either side of the debate. Evolutionists point out evidence that seemingly show that humans evolved from apes. People who believe in creation maintain that humans were created by God. (Note: by 'God', I do not limit the term to the Christian one; different religions have their own version of the creation story.) Then there are people who try to reconcile these ideas.

So, which of the two do you believe in? Did our ancestors come from apes or were they created in a more straightforward manner by a higher power?
