Evolution of what?

Nope. I am speaking of the theory of evolution as much conjecture, among other things: like a scientist atheist ape saying the universe came from -- nothing...
And that is science, so I stand comfortably on the facts.

You are skating on increasingly thin ice here. I suggest you part ways with the attitude and the comments as a friendly reminder of civil discourse that you seem so easily able to shake rather frequently I might add.

I posted a video recording evolution in action. Sorry. I know that you reject science, so perhaps that is what I see being manifested here.

I didn't say I was offended, I said it didn't seem very respectful coming form someone that doesn't accept that and indicates it is against God to say so.

If you don't think it is against God to proclaim that people are apes, then by all means, prove me wrong and say so in that way and context.
Thanks. I called out O my God when I read your comment. with a smile on my face. :)
Evolution puts humans in the "great ape" category, isn't that true? Thank you, thank you, thank you, Dan for your responses, it shows me so much and I do hope things improve for you.
Don't you believe the following? "Humans are classified in the sub-group of primates known as the Great Apes." Humans and other Great Apes

I've learned a great deal too. I'm not laughing. What I have seen rather makes me sad.

Dan, it has been an interesting excursion to talk to you and a few others. You have shown me a lot about people and their ideas. I am so glad to have conversed with you. Thank you, Have a good one.

Again -- I won't say you lie because that's not nice.
Nope.
That is not the reason you are scared to flat out say it.
You know it is a blatant rule violation and to flat out state it would you mean you stopped skirting the rules and flat out broke one.

You have provided witness that I find very useful too. Thank you.

You seem to be less baffled than me. That's not fair.
Sometimes the message people send is not the subject of the discussion or is how they discuss the subject.

I found what I saw to be both enlightening and in may ways consistent.

The Lost One
Either you are an ape, according to you, or you evolved from -- apes. There is simply no denying it according to your belief. Thank you so much for continuing.

The answer is BOTH.

Homo sapiens are both humans & apes, and so are every lines of Homo, to the earliest species of Homo, every one of them were both humans & apes.

The Homo sapiens (as well as the Neanderthals or the Homo neanderthalensis) evolved from the earlier Homo heidelbergensis, and the H heidelbergensis are both humans & apes.

The H heidelbergensis evolved from one of the earlier Homo erectus (the erectus that came from Africa, the Homo ergaster), and the H erectus are both humans & apes.

So the modern humans (Homo sapiens) didn’t just evolve from older Homo species, they evolved from apes too, that apes being the Homo heidelbergensis. Just as we don’t being “human”, we also don’t stop being “ape” or “mammal“ or “amniote”, and so on.

Are you getting the picture yet?

The only one denying reality are you and every other creationists.

Too bad about the ones that have suffered and are still suffering. Hey, have a good one.
that's a problem of being misinformed.
:) Also -- all the chemicals produced, interesting...
such as wine from water?
my oh my what a secret kept for a while...
lots of secrets.

Soon people will be able to think for themselves. :D

It's not. It is one of your misconceptions that cause a lot of the confusion.
Humans are put in the great ape category by cladistics. (Developed by Carl Linné 100 years before Darwin.)
We are great apes because we share a lot of characteristics with chimpanzees, bonobos and gorillas.
That we share those characteristics is a fact. The grouping is an accepted convention. It has nothing to do with evolution.

Don't you believe the following? "Humans are classified in the sub-group of primates known as the Great Apes." Humans and other Great Apes
Again, not a thing to believe, just a fact.
