My understanding is that we did not evolve from chimps, but we share a common ancestor. Or something like that.
It would not bother me in the least to learn that we did evolve from chimps. Would it bother you? If so, why?

In the religious view, especially jewish, christian and muslim, humans are a special creation, we are "other" than the rest of nature. The rest of nature was put here by god for our benefit. What a happy way of seeing things. Since we're outside and not a part of nature, we can exploit it all we want and yet don't have to take responsibility for anything that happens to it.
