Dear all,
Real question is not about ugliness:
"Why can’t we depict an ET more beautiful/handsome than humans?
With our infinite potential for imagination, we are still UNABLE even to depict something better than humans just in physical appearance!?

It may have taken many years--still it is a leap from one species to another. Leap is a leap no matter how much time it took!
"Homo sapiens is very recent, probably originating less than 150,000 years ago (150 kya)"
(http://www.britannica.com/EBchecked/topic/1350865/Homo-sapiens)
This makes it easy for you to find out how many years it took for gorilla to become homo sapiense. Now you may find out from what period gorilla had been living here.
"The ancestors of the Hominidae family had already speciated from those of the Hylobatidae family, perhaps 15 million to 20 million years ago." (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hominidae)

Cofty,
You have indirectly admitted (by changing the subject) that you are at rock-bottom with regard to the subject and question posed in OP.
Like the way I quoted Darwin and Bible, you also try quoting some authority.
Let us be FREE-thinkers, and enjoy constructive debate--something this Forum stands for. -

Does this not show that species evolving into better species is not possible—something Darwin himself understood: “Not one change of species into another is on record ... we cannot prove that a single species has been changed." (Charles Darwin, My Life &Letters). ". ... [Paleobiology, vol 6(1), January 1980, pg 127]?
Only God can conceive a physical form more beautiful than humans. (Isaiah 45:12)
If gorilla evolved into man—wouldn’t such a great miracle that happened automatically without an external help eclipse all the miracles reported in all the scriptures?

It is true that certain percentage of DNA of gorilla and NNA of humans would be similar. Yet that tiny portion of unshared DNA makes a world of difference: it gives us, for instance, our bipedal stance and all our unique abilities to the extent of planning even space missions!
Nothing except a superstitious faith can vouch for such an impossible leap from gorilla to humans!

How noble in reason!
How infinite in faculties!
In form and moving how express and admirable!”--Shakespeare

Adam and Eve account does not meet the criterion of a story!
by economy inadam and eve story does not follow the common logic..
1) children would never believe a lie (especially from a stranger) against their father who has already proved a supreme benefactor to them!.
2) if even if they believed, normal course of action would have been to wait!

That means, if we replace names of the characters with some modern names and send this story for a short-story competition, it will definitely be rejected! -

Greatest Proof for evolution!
by abiather in2014 was the worst year ever for terrorism: u.s. intel chief (http://www.nydailynews.com/news/national/wrost-year-global-terrorism-2014-article-1.2130490).
terror attacks reached their highest number in 2014 since 45 years of its history.
in the first nine months of 2014, there were 13,000 terror acts that killed some 31,000 people!

Google doesn't say 160 years x 31 is not 4960 years [When common sense can answer this, why turn into google?]
I would always prefer to live in a time-period when water and air are not polluted.

DJS, Your 100000 years do not match with reality!
If Human History is that many years old, what could be the present population on earth? Would it not be UNIMAGINABLY greater than the present 7.12 billion? Let us start from something concrete, and go backward! According to United States Census Bureau, world population was 2 Billion in 1927 and 4 Billion in 1974 and will be 8 Billion in 2026. That means population almost doubles about 50 years.
Now let us make a simple calculation! Though a couple can produce four children in about four years, let us give a too liberal 160 YEARS TO PRODUCE JUST FOUR CHILDREN! Suppose the human tree starts with just 8 people (or 4 couples), and each couple produces 4 children each in 160 years (and then the original couples/parents pass away). Now the history is 160 years old and population of the earth is just 16 (or 8 couples). These 8 couples produce 32 children (or 16 couples) in another 160 years, and the parents pass away. Now the history is 320 years old, and population is 32. If we go on calculating like this, earth’s population will be 17.17 Billion in just 4960 years (160 years x 31 = 4960). [Yet the present population is only 7.12 Billion, and the excess of over 10 Billion would adequately provide room for all those who remained childless for various reasons and all those who died prematurely due to war, accident, diseases … etc]
