Since there are so many rumors about what Brother Percy did to be excommunicated, I've decided to post excerpts from the email exchange in question. Basically, he admitted to unbelief in creationism and was flirting with various new-age interpretations of intelligent design:
Having successfully disproven the Theory of Evolution using Occam's Razor, I was curious as to how many people with brains actually believe we came from slime, which turned into monkeys, which transformed into humans. Seems a little far-fetched to me. Not that I think I have any of the answers, but I just cant get my head around why monkeys can't talk, and why crocodiles haven't changed in 6,000 years. Dinosaurs evolved into turkeys? Seriously? 

I just can't get my head around how creatures with vertibtrates, bones, spines, sinews, muscles, hair and flesh could possibly come from primordial slime and mud. To me it just sounds as ridiculous as that pagan story about the world being on the back of a turtle!
I do not believe there is enough evidence to conclude that we evolved from mud and ooze on the Earth's surface. I think there must be more explanations than just two??
What if we were formed near the Earth's core, and crawled our way to the surface. What if we were brought here on a meteorite containing our DNA, which somehow formed us during our collision with Earth? Why did the dinosaurs disappear? Why did appeared? Why haven't apes evolved if we have?
All we have to go on are a few half-man half-monkey skeletons found, which can easily be explained away by humans having sex with monkeys, making half-monkey children. I really don't believe we evolved from mud, or a fish that turned into a monkey. If fish turned into monkeys, why are there still fish?
People say our environment causes our evolutionary state, yet there are probably billions of species of animal, so how could their own environment not have evolved them the same way as us. Time travel, that's another option. What if the first humans here were actually from the future, who travelled back in time when they found out our Planet was about to be destroyed by a comet or something?? They built the pyramids, hunted the dinosaurs into extinction for meat, and hid their true origin from their children? Maybe they brought many of the animals with them in some sort of time-travelling Ark?? Who knows? I sure don't. Perhaps aliens came to earth, and mated with monkeys, making us?

If evolution were true, and fish were still evolving into us or monkeys or what-have-you, why are there no creatures out there that resemble half-fish half-humanoid that are going to eventually become like us or the monkeys or even dogs or cats?
I just can't see the link. If there were such a creature that looked like it was the first or second step from fish to us, then possibly I would accept this belief. But as I said, I see no concrete irrefutable proof of this connection from fish to man. Or even from monkeys to man. If there was a monkey that was almost humanoid and was talking like something outta 'Planet of the Apes', i'd say 'Hey That makes sense!'.
But it just seems to me we are all different species, and the 'in-between evolving into us' evidence just isn't there.
