creation vs evelution

I truely believe that humans were created and didn't evolve from chimps. I feel this way because this is what I was taught when I was growing up at home and at church. Look at it this way, if we weren't created why would God send his only son down to earth as a human and not a chimp. I mean, if we evolved from chimps that wouldn't make sense at all. And when I read through Merilyn's post I saw something that got me thinking. If we evolved from chimps, why haven't the rest of them evolved? If you think its because they need to adapt and over time they will change. Why don't we try that so that the whole world will know whether we evolved or created.
