What is the muslim belief concerning god’s purpose in creating apes?
Obama wrote it down.
You see the problem Darwin had with this one ~ BTW, in Darwin's day Europeans were fairly familiar with the Koran and the Haditsh (sayings of the Prophet).
BTW, this is a testible hypothesis. You see how much the human benome (and it's operating system) has in common with non-ape primates, and then see if apes have as much in common.
If men are closer to monkeys than they are apes, you kinda' gotta' accept the idea that maybe apes evolved from men!
