You believe, then, that Christ himself was descended from an Ape?

Do you acknowledge that if Jesus was a man, his DNA was approximately 99% similar to that of a chimpanzee?

All I am really asking you is, if God is really God, and can perform all miracles, why would He lie to us and give us the Adam and Eve story and skip over the "we descended from Apes" story?

Which apes would the ancient Israelites have been familiar with? Chimps and gorillas live in central Africa, orang-utans in South East Asia. So the Hebrew creation myth should have read, well there are these things called anthropoid apes, whcih we've never seen, but which we share a common ancestor 6 million years ago?

You are limiting God if you think He is not outside of Time, with the ability to reckon how the Word would be read, thousands of years after it was written. So, to say that the Hebrews knew nothing of apes in Africa -- God would want people to know the truth as He knew the Word would survive through time. Unfair of me to expect your metaphysical reading of the Word, yet this is the perspective of God outside of Time and of all Wisdom.
