what's wrong with being an ape?

sooner or later it will become impossible to deny the true human condition... (the human genome mapped... chimp/bonobo and neanderthal etc.. = mapped!) the scientific method and the ongoing technology ever more accurate... expanding exponentially... will bring an end to out-dated and (in my honest opinion) RUDE! hypothesis that somehow the 'HUMANKIND' reserves or indeed deserves a pedestal...

I LOVE the fact that we are APE kind... it's such a beautiful story... well at least up until stealing land off indigenous tribes, the industrial revolution & capitalism! oh and corrupt religion!

what's the general thought out there to the HUMAN condition? are there any Biologist Christians that can give some sort sense to the idea of a solar system of billions of stars in an accelerated expanding universe of billions of galaxies that WE should be so important?

pond life springs to mind! ;-)

We may have been demoted to apes, but at least we are still Great Apes!
Thank you for playing Debating Christianity & Religion!

People who deny that we have evolved from monkeys have never spent much time watching their kids or grandkids! Last Friday three of my grandkids spent the day with my wife and me--what a bunch of monkeys! My four year old granddaughter can climb anything!
