whosoever shall say, Thou fool, shall be in danger of hell fire.
That's the load of crap I disagree with. Especially when the liberals start claiming we are most closely related to bonobos as they are doing if you read some of the other posts. And as I point out, it is politically driven. Bononbos are promiscuous, which is why the liberals love them and want to prove we are descended from them. The academic versions of Mary Mapes and Dan Rather are out there lying their respective PHD asses off in order to prove it.
I'm not admitting, I'm claiming, but I'm not claiming like the liberals that we are related to a particular one. Hence my peaches & apples analogy.
Ahhh... No True Scotsman
No, it's more like saying you're more closely related to your first cousin Jack than you are to your first cousin Jill when the relationship between you and either of them is the same. I'm quite sure if you did a DNA study between you and all of your first cousins, one of them would come up "closer" Would you then claim that your aunt and uncle are really your parents? Well that's what the liberals are doing with this chimpanzee / bonobos nonsense
It's got nothing to do with sex, or your delusional conspiracy of scientists.
You are simply choosing to ignore dNA evidence for the easy "if the glove don't fit you must acquit" (Hey there was a conspiracy against OJ too, maybe you're on something)
"on" = "onto"
And you know this because........
Your ignorance of what evolution is is as vast as the universe itself. Evolution does not concern jupiter. Evolution does not concern crystals. As for the ring around your finger - if a proto-human with mutation of "a ring on their finger" existed and "the ring" gave that creature a reproductive advantage over all of the other individuals within it's species, there is a good chance that you WOULD have a ring on your finger. However, the universe went with "eyes & brain (in some cases)" over the "ring on finger" for usefulness.
Oop oop eep eep ook ook ook ook!
The first is the fish Eusthenopteron the other is the early amphibian Icthyostega.
Are they saying that gorillas and orangutans are more highly evolved than humans are?

Just a thought, but here in Baltimore, we've had 27 murders in the first few weeks of this year. That's in a land area of approx. 80 square miles.
It would be interesting to know how many murders have happened in a densely populated 80 square miles of a given habitat of gorillas and/or orangutans.
hi wcb. That analogy is very compelling on the surface. However, the comparison ends at the molecular level. At that level, there are natural processes that produce ordered, self assembled systems. They follow their own chemical paths. No need for a guiding hand. A watch, or a computer, are not the result of molecular self assembly.
“there are natural processes that produce ordered, self assembled systems. They follow their own chemical paths. No need for a guiding hand”
Could you please elaborate? What natural process produces ordered self assembled systems?
My brain is more developed than my child's brain. I don't look or act like a child (usually). My child cannot type, read, speak, or reason.
According to your logic, apparently my child and I are not related.
Peter Tork of the Monkees is playing with his new band, Shoe Suede Blues, at the Rams Head Tavern tonight in Annapolis MD.
I'm gonna pass.
If only Rod Steward had stopped evolving after recording Every Picture tells a Story and A nod is as good as a wink to a blind horse, then we would not be subjected to listening to him attempt to croon standards.
