I am a pilot. Does my ability to operate an aircraft mean I am evolving into a bird? So many questions so little time.

My cat had a tee-pee scratching post. He would put his paw in the "door" and "launch" it about 60 feet. Does this mean cats are developing missile technology?

Given the current climate on what you can say and what you can't say ... I'm not sure that you can say "Spear Chucking".

"chimpanzees in Senegal regularly fashion wooden spears and hunt other primates with them"

Spears don't kill primates, primates do.

The chimps saw it on TV.

Let the evolutionists isolate these chimps and do whatever they want to them, change their environment, let them watch "Tarzan" movies, allow them to listen to self-empowerment CDs, permit them to interact with people. Do this for generations. You know what you will have when you're all done? Chimps.

Somebody needs to buy Mr. Farah an Introduction to Biology textbook. If selection is taking place, chimp DNA will change. Period.

What about those chimps who don't figure out how to make spears? Will the spear hunting chimps be forced to give half of their fresh meat to them? What about their self esteem? Will chimps demand that one can only hunt with wood tipped spears and not have them enhanced with stone?

Joe Farah is an idiot.

It appeared like he would make World Net Daily into a genuine mainstream news outlet, until he got wound up with this anti-evolution faith.

Spear-Chucking Chimps .....(implications for human evolution ? NOT)

People see their own personal religion in everything.

The initial inaccuracy is the word "chucking". They use the spears to stab, not to throw.

Evidence?!

There is ZERO evidence supporting creationism.

The evidence supporting evolution is unassailable.

You religious nut-cases give Conservatism a bad name.

First, of all you gotta figure out what they mean by "hunt"
Does it mean, hunt to eat, hunt to hurt, hunt for fun, or
just throw a "spear" at some other member of their group?

Also, they hunt other primates? Does that mean, other non
chimps primates?

Is it always the same type of spear, or do they change them
around? Is there any sign of development in their technique?
Do they teach their offspring how to make spears?

Sea otters use rocks to bash open the shells of other
sea creatures? Isn't that a tool? Does that mean I am closer
to a sea otter than say a chimp because I use hammers, but
not spears? Parasol ants are called that because they
cut leaves to the shape of parasols for their use...
Ants harvest aphids for a secreted substance
...are they closer to human farmers than human city dwellers?
Bees live in collective organisations, are they closer
to communists than capitalists? Beavers build huge dams,
which are fairly complicated and large at times, are they
closer to architects than say spear makers are?
All of the marvelous traits of our animal friends could
be interpreted in the light of biological differences, but it doesn't
necessarily indicate any type of evolutionary connection.

Personally, I think the difference between man and other animals is that we are made in the image of God.

What a tremendous insult to God!

Joseph Farah is right on the money here.

The Democrats and other secular radicals who hate the Bible cannot stand the fact that God said He created man in His image, after His likeness.

It is a deep hatred for the God of the Bible that motivates almost everything that liberals think and do.

The public school is the liberal's indoctrination camp and the destruction of Christian faith is their ultimate goal.
