Virtually every Christian (not to mention many of other faiths) would adamently disagree with the contention by evolutionists who masquerade as "believers" that God's "likeness" and "image" resemble anything close to apes

There are a number of problems with your comment.

First, not every theist is a Christian. The Christian deity is not the only god whose existence has been accepted and whose person has been worshiped throughout human history.
Second, I don't know of any theist evolutionist who claims that God's likeness or image resembles an ape.
Third, humans arguably do resemble apes -- certainly moreso than many other creatures on ths planet.
Fourth, unless you know for yourself what the God you believe in looks like, don't criticize other interpretations of his/her/His/Her/its/Its appearance.

Oh, but I DO know what He looks like.

"And the Word became flesh, and dwelt among us, and we beheld His glory, as of the only begotten from the Father, full of grace and truth." (John 1:14)

Jesus perfectly resembled His Father and history is replete with information that Jesus was a man, not an ape.
