I AGREE!!!!

Whenever I go to the zoo and see the apes and monkees, I think to myself, they act exactly as liberals and atheists do! They are exactly the same! You are correct!

Xeno I love to go to the zoo and watch the orangatans

they seem so carefree and loving to one another and also very playful and oh! that gorgerous coat!

Xeno-x -The problem with that type of evidence is that it is not compelling

enough to shut the creationists up.

The way the article was written doesn't help much either. Vague terms such as "were chosen more often" instead of being expressed in more accurate percentage terms, leaves the door open for the suggestion that selections by the apes were random and just happened to favor the desired conclusion. I've found that the DNA similarities generally leaves the creationists blubbering in their beer. The common ancestry between apes and humans has been irrefutably proven by comparing DNA, we have more common DNA with chimpanzees than rats have with mice. A good article on that can be found: HERE

It's been 3 years since this important aspect of the scientific theory of evolution has been irrefutably corroborated. I find it inconceivable that there are still people around arguing as if this milestone has not taken place.
