Atheists believe in miracles more than believers

Humans are not apes, great or small.

Humans have 23 pairs of chromosomes, apes 24.

Evidently no human came out of any ape.

Well, let's see what comes out...do the ones embracing evolution here say monkeys or bonobos are humans? lol -- if not, why not? and of course, if they do, why? Yet some of them are promoting the idea that humans are monkeys -- lol! So then == are such ones saying monkeys are humans? How about chimps -- are chimps humans since they have such close DNA?

Because spaniels are not alsatian

From what I've read on this thread it's you pushing monkeys being human,

Humans evolved from an ape like creature that evolved from monkeys, that if you go back far enough evolved from a rodent like creature.
There, that should get you thinking.

Well, As Lerned it monkeys are not the same as great apes. But I might have gotten it wrong.
The great apes are descended from catarrhine primates which used to be called old world monkeys as opposed to new world monkeys which split later the extant species of which are still referred to as monkeys. Thus we are descended from monkeys though living monkeys are our distant cousins.

not so.
\Chromosomal fusion occurs in about 1 in 1000 live births. It's believed that a common human-chimpanzee ancestor had two of its chromosomes fuse together a few million years ago. Chromosome 21 is involved in 50% of these translocations, followed by chromosome 14 (33.4%) and chromosome 13 (14.1%). Involvement of chromosomes 15 and 22 in Robertsonian translocations is uncommon (1.9% and 0.6%, respectively).

It seems like they schedule the bots for a bad joke every once in a while.

If only they were funny jokes!! :sleeping:

If they really do understand evolution as well they claim to, then how is it they are always getting things wrong...
Humans you seem to say are monkeys, but monkeys are not humans...because scientists say there is an unknown Common Ancestor somewhere, and humans evolved from that unknown Common Ancestor. So how about bonobos? Would you know if humans are bonobos, too? Hey, here's one...do you or scientists think bonobos are chimpanzees?"
"We do share a common ape ancestor with chimpanzees. It lived between 8 and 6 million years ago. But humans and chimpanzees evolved differently from that same ancestor. All apes and monkeys share a more distant relative, which lived about 25 million years ago." Comparing Chimp, Bonobo and Human DNA | AMNH
