Humans came from apes, fish or god created us?

Many christian people say god created us, but i wonder is there really a god? And other people say we came from apes, and today we watched a revolution movie which talks about humans came from fish. I'm kind of confused now. Anyone has any idea, please give a proof if you think your answer is true. Thanks!

    It depends on how far back you go.

    Humans are apes, descended from earlier, now-extinct apes. The split in the lineages the ended up producing chimps and humans occurred about 6 million years ago.

    Human ancestors, going back through time, do not stop 6 million years ago. Our ancestry goes back to certain fish that lived some 400 million years ago.

    Human ancestors, going back through time. do not stop 400 million years ago. Our ancestry goes back to prokaryotes that lived some 3 billion years ago.

    There's no valid, objective, positive evidence that God created us, and there is evidence that argues against that idea.

    In my honest opinion, if god revealed himself to humanity, I wouldn't worship him, for he is a man made deity that has burdened humanity with suffering (religious wars, witch burnings, ect), ignorance (Death of socrates, Galileo, ect) and malice. The only tangible things are the laws of nature. First of all, homo sapiens did not come from apes, but we have a common ancestor with them. What gave us an edge over all other hominids was our intelligence. All tetrapods have common ancestry with fish, in fact, all life can be traced to the oceans, They can be traced to one organism named tiktaalik that lived 380 million years ago. Tiktaalik was far different than any other fish at the time. In its fins were wrist bones, a humerus, and digits. It had a flat head and its eyes were on the front of its face.

    Its apes and fish. So basically the fish evolved over time and eventuallly reached a land/water creature. Then really far down the line there were apes, then humans.

    You can't logically say that God created us b/c according to science, no experiment can be set up to falsify the hypothesis.
