"True, we are classified as primates."
Not only that, we are apes. That doesn't make us chimps or gorillas.
You haven't seen a couple of politicians here then. One is a dead ringer for Clyde. The other for Koko.
You may be an ape, I won't argue with you, but I was made by God in the image of God, to know him, love him and serve him.
You don't serve God or man by denying his handiwork and telling impressionable minds that God didn't create the universe, but rather there was a big bang, from what????
When I was in the 8th grade in 1962, our biology teacher explained that a wholly new life was created at conception, throughout the animal and plant kingdoms. Today, she wouldn't be allowed to say that. Not because it's not true, but because of political pressure.
That's the force behind evolution's exclusive position in American education, political pressure.
