Do you believe we evolved from primates? What are your arguments against human evolution?
Intelligent Design states that living organisms must be the product of careful and conscious design, so perfectly formed that they cannot be explained by the random workings of evolution alone...
What is the JW concept?

JWs believe in creationism. Smart people know evolution is correct.
It kinda bugs me now when people make the claim that evolution is random. It isn't. It's life adapting to a changing environment.
This youtube video shows it pretty well, except instead environmental factors used as a guide to determine an outcome, they assign images.
It illustrates how highly improbable outcomes are possible with natural selection.

Being raised a JW I always dismissed evolution as a "plot of Satan."
However, I do not see the idea of Creation and Evolution to be incompatible. If one believes in God as the Creator, why should the idea of
a very long miracle be anathema to the faith in the diety that brought it about? The idea that man evolved from a lower species seems more
acceptable to me now than it did before becuase I have actually read what others say about the issue instead of simply reading what the WTS
says about the issue.
One thing is certian and undeniable: life does adapt. It finds a way to survive.
