For a long while, I have sat on the fence. Nothing I had seen really struck me as the theory of evolution being true. I thought it was a good theory, but that there were too many holes to solidify it as fact. Maybe it comes from my religious background, or the fact that biology teachers stayed away from talking about human evolution, whatever the reason I feel like I have wasted so much time not understanding this very basic, very blatant, obvious truth!
I truly pity those still in denial and now understand the anger some have toward people who try to fight evolution! This kind of revelation should be experienced by everyone! If you, like me, are convinced for the first time by the video in the link below, It will truly give you a feeling that must be similar to the feeling Pythagoras felt when he said "Eureka!"
I still say there may be some sort of outside influence pushing evolution toward intelligent life, but I whole-heartily accept the theory of evolution as of today.
For those of you still in doubt, you must watch this video!

It should totally rock your world view unless you have entirely closed your mind to the truth.
Especially pay attention to the part where the bonobo understands one of the researchers and what she is saying and learns how to start his own fire not by being trained, but rather by watching what others have done and trying it for itself.
