I think this story makes a very good point about the amount of respect the belief in evolution has created.

A rabbi was sitting next to an atheist on an airplane.  Every few minutes, one of the rabbi's children or grandchildren would inquire about his needs for food, drink, or comfort. 

The atheist commented, " The respect your children and grandchildren show you is wonderful.  Mine don't show me that respect."

The rabbi responded, " Think about it.  To my children and grandchildren, I am one step closer in a chain of tradtion to the time when God spoke to the whole Jewish people on Mt. Sinai.  To your children and grandchildren, you are one step closer to being an ape."

This is sooo true! No wonder people don't feel they get much respect anymore - it's all in the way they perceive where we came from.
