… In the latter times some will abandon the faith and follow deceiving spirits and things taught by demons. Such teachings come through hypocritical liars, whose consciences have been seared as with a hot iron. (1 Timothy 4:1-2) For the time will come when men will not put up with sound doctrine.

They will turn their ears away from the truth, and turn aside to myths. (2 Timothy 4:3-4)

Apparently, there's a large misconception about people saying that we 'came from' monkeys. From what I understand, we had a common ancestor, and split off at some point. There is actually a pretty overwhelming case that humans were, at one point, amphibious mammals. The two biggest pieces of evidence to that I remember are the aerodynamic orientation of our body hair, and the shape our body makes in a prone position (looks a lot like a fish turned sideways).
