In one of the most remarkably frank and candid assessments of the whole subject and methodology of paleoanthropology, Dr. David Pilbeam (a distinguished professor of anthropology) suggested the following:
"Perhaps generations of students of human evolution, including myself, have been flailing about in the dark; that our data base is too sparse, too slippery, for it to be able to mold our theories. Rather the theories are more statements about us and ideology than about the past. Paleoanthropology reveals more about how humans view themselves than it does about how humans came about. But that is heresy."...

Evolution and Christianity are perfectly compatible.

Paleoanthropology reveals more about how humans view themselves than it does about how humans came about. Pretty much what I have said all along

"humans really evolve from ape-like creatures?" Nah, they evolved from humans.
First came the human, then the human evolved into liberals and then into apes.

Still waiting for your detailed exegesis. But after repeated requests for the same, I won’t be holding my breath.
To: R_Kangel
LOL! I think you are referring to devolution.
To: GodGunsGuts
Given the fact that humans are apes, this is a rather odd question.

Actually, if you observe the Democrat party, the conclusion can be reached that they are evolving INTO apes........well, monkeys, anyway.

After watching the actions of our government over the past few months, along with the results of the elections, one can’t help but to wonder....

Humans are only considered by apes by atheistic scientists who want to make apes out of humans.
