OH, NO! A few scientists think ape “B” is a little closer to humans that ape “A,” but the rest still think ape “A” is closer!

HELP! MY WORLD IS CRUMBLING!!

You know, the way creationists react to (actual) scientific debate is both funny and revealing.

This human-orang clade idea has been around for quite awhile. It still has some advocates. Occasionally they manage to put together some evidence good enough to get published. It doesn't look at present like the human-orang clade thesis will prevail over the human-chimp clade thesis, but if it ultimately does, then fine.

BTW, notice how GGG and crew entirely ignore the fact that NO scientist currently argues for, of finds evidence for, a great ape clade separate from a human clade! The only argument is as to which great ape or apes humans group with exclusive of the others. IOW it is agreed by all active anthropologists that humans are nested WITHIN the apes.

Just letting everybody know that the Evos, after years of telling us all that chimps are without doubt closer to humans than to the other great apes, are now revealing that Orangs may be closer. And if, as you say, this debate has been around for years, then it just goes to show how disengenuous and irresponsible the Temple of Darwin is for propagandizing everyone into believing something the Evos themselves knew was conroversial within their own camp!
