Again, i do not mean any disrespect but i wanted to know the opinion of the religious side as well.

Well, that might be an interesting fantasy, but in order for that to be given any serious thought, one would have to suspend their logic and accept the story of evolution in the first place. It has no more intellectual integrity than denying the existence of Jesus. Evolution was developed for the express purpose of giving rebellious man an excuse to disbelieve in God so he would feel no guilt for sinful behavior. Darwin was simply the most popular story teller. Really, it would be as silly to speculate evolution can fit into the history of Creation as trying to fit in the
Boshongo (a Bantu Tribe) creation myth: In the beginning there was only darkness, water, and the great god Bumba. One day Bumba, in pain from a stomach ache, vomited up the sun. The sun dried up some of the water, leaving land. Still in pain, Bumba vomited up the moon, the stars, and then some animals: the leopard, the crocodile, the turtle, and, finally, some men, one of whom, Yoko Lima was white like Bumba.
Now, as interesting a tale as this might sound, do you really think it's likely? Now do you see how silly it would be to assume evolution is likely? So why even speculate as to how it might fit in what we know to be True?
