Yes, but a canine is a canine. I believe humans were created as humans.
And both humans and apes are primates... farther removed from each other than are wolves and dogs, but people and some species of apes appear related nonetheless, with features that on the surface look more similar than a wolf does to a chihuahua... It is tempting, but not meaningful, to compare only our outward appearance.
I believe humans were created as humans.
I know you believe that... trouble is you only believe that because you want to believe you are not of the natural world but of God's, as if the natural world is not also of God. And you believe it because it was written that way by a man a long time ago in a land far away in a book not meant to be scientific. Do you believe God literally reached down and removed a rib from Adam to make Eve?
