"I do not believe that we descended from apes," says one college student in the film. "I do not believe in any way, shape or form we descended from apes," says another. I don't think anybody claims that you did.

I don't think anybody claims that you did. At least they chose apes over Monkeys.

The birds were named after the Portuguese word for "fool" because they were fearless of humans and would walk up to hungry hunters who simply clubbed them to death and ate them. The birds were extinct by the 17th century Sometimes I think the fools were on the other side of the club in that scenario.

Well, no surprise here...
Stupid people, even well-educated ones, don't know they're stupid.
Yes, that includes scientifically inclined ones who, as Mark Twain put it, gather large return of conjecture from small investment in fact.

Oh, a movie! And a student who says he's not a monkey! More full proof of evolution.

"I do not believe that we descended from apes," says one college student - - "I don't think anybody claims that you did.While this is a very satandard exchange in this type of thread, and while strictly speaking is true (we are not descended from apes), I have never understood why this is supposed to make anyone on the "other" side feel or believe any differently. If we are descended not from apes, but from creature more "primitive", that are ancestors to both humans and apes, I believe you have just made a "distinction without a difference".
To: Izzy Dunne
Yeah but the implication has always been that finding the proverbial missing link would show us as just really smart unhairy apes.

scientists who are handicapped by their blind obsession with the truth Do they get a sticker so they can park next to the doors at WalMart?

I have never understood why this is supposed to make anyone on the "other" side feel or believe any differently. I didn't say it would.

I believe you have just made a "distinction without a difference". Fair enough. I think the "we evolved from Monkeys" business is overused on both sides. It's used to make the creationists look uneducated on the matter and its also used to make the evolutionary thinkers look silly (us related to monkeys?).

There was an old Scot named MacTavish
Who attempted a gibbon to ravish,
..But the object of rape
..Was the wrong sex of ape--
And the anthropoid ravished MacTavish.

I didn't say it would.I agree, you didn't. But this same sort of exchange always occurs at some point on this type of thread and if it isn't intended (or expected) to affect the creationist side of the argument why bother since it doesn't significantly affect the point that we are descended from creatures that are decidedly "non-human".

Do the Monkey!
