That is not the statement - the statement is that modern humans (homo sapiens) and modern apes (whether gibbons or chimpanzees or bonobos or gorillas or orangutans) all derived from a common ancestor
Man did not evolve from apes. If he did then why would apes even still exist? In any case it is godless nonsense.
Amen! God designed us mortals all the way back to Adam and Eve in the Garden of Eden!
Evolution takes a whole lot more faith than Creation.
“Man did not evolve from apes. If he did then why would apes even still exist? In any case it is godless nonsense.”
We humans are primates, as are monkeys. And our closest relatives in that evolution are chimpanzees and bonobos (going waaaaaay back). And we have a common ancestor.
However, the ancestors of Man (Homo Sapien) diverged from the ancestors of other primates over time. So, we are more closely related to chimps and bonobos than we are to other primates, though we are more closely related to chimps, from whom we diverged some six million years ago.
The DNA sequence between chimps and humans is almost 99% identical.
That does not discredit Genesis. Rather, it puts time into perspective. Hence, evolution.
Liberals look at an ape and say “that is my ancestor!” Conservatives look at an ape and say “that is a liberal”
“Man did not evolve from apes.”
Technically true. We were genetically modified from apes as a base to start from.
White Americans did not come from Europe. If they did then why would white humans even still exist in Europe? In any case it is godless nonsense.
The theory doesn’t hold that man evolved from modern apes, just that we have a common ancestor, from whom paths diverged.
