Yes, quite right, this is exactly what they believe. The evidence however, seems to suggest that we are actually evolving backwards, de-evolving, and should arrive at the Planet of the Apes at any moment now. I suppose this is to be expected. If you take a bunch of human beings and tell them they possess higher selves and are made in the image of their Creator, than that is the direction we will go.
