OK, I'll bite! 
Dave, you've got it all wrong. It isn't closed minded to think that you know the answer, it's only closed minded to continue believing that when new and better evidence points in a different direction. If you have good evidence to support a theory, and after testing it as best you can, it continues to yield supporting results, then it's quite rational to believe in it over other theories, with less evidence to support them. That's how we achieve progress. If everyone was to throw their hands up in the air because they don't have *all* the answers, and refuse to believe anything at all, or worse, believe whatever they like the sound of the best, then we'd still be in the stone age. That's more like empty mindedness than open mindedness.
As for the idea that we evolved from primates being "just as ridiculous" as creationism, can you really not see the difference between the two? We, as in humans, have 98-99% percent the same DNA as chimpanzees. That, along other obvious similarities between humans and primates, plus the actual *observation* of evolution as a natural process, is very good evidence to support evolution. On the other hand, there is no evidence in support of the higher power required in creationism anywhere to be found (religious belief is, after all, known as "faith".)
Come on. Don't be a dolt.
