So which one is your distant relative? Was it your grandma taking it from the ape, or was it your grandpa giving it to the ape?

Since you decided to be crude, I will answer that direct question by replying:

"Neither one of them since my grandparents never mated with anyone in your family."

Now that we both have the immature and stupid taunts out of the way,.................

Modern man gradually changed over countless generation to become what he is today. Selective pressures decided what traits were passed on and what traits were not passed on.

Do you believe that some wolf gave birth to a Chihuahua once upon a time to create Chihuahuas?

Do you believe that Chihuahuas were created at the Garden of Eden?

Were there Chihuahuas when Christ was born?

Where did Chihuahuas come from?

I'm sorry for being crude, but I find it more offensive that you directed me to a link that showed pictures of APE skulls. Those aren't my ancestors. You believe they are yours. I'm not related to apes. I'm a human being. God created me in his image.

I have studied evolution. I used to think in the same way you do. I get what you're saying. But after giving the evidence a fair and honest evaluation, I came to the conclusion that human existence could not possibly have started with an explosion. This is a conclusion based upon my evaluation of the data. I can justify my conclusion based on the validity of my assumptions.

You choose to accept the theory that man has not existed consistently in his present state since creation. This is a belief, but it is not hard science.

My belief is different. Both dogmas have equally as much evidence, but in uniquely different forms. Mine is documented human history, and yours is a scientific theory. Your theory is derived from the scientific method, which considers language such as "probably" and "have many similarities" to be concrete evidence of a conclusion that is not necessarily supported by the paleoantropological evidence.

Just because there is fossil evidence of other species who existed prior to humans, and who have some similarities in physical appearance, does not definitively prove that I have a gorilla or a monkey or a fish in my family tree.

My parents had two parents. Their parents had two parents. And so on and so on. At no point will you reach a juncture where a baboon or an amoeba occupies a branch on my family tree.

God created Chihuahuas.
