These guys make the same mistake as the evolutionists. When an evolutionist states that because past fossils have similar characteristics to supposedly older fossils, they make the HUGE assumption that they have a common ancestor. These people are making the same mistake. The genes may have similar characteristics to apes and portions may be exactly the same, but you cannot conclude that they came from the same place. It is a logical fallacy.

Correlation does not equal causation, but many scientists fall into that trap. Look at all the epidemiological studies and the deception involved in them.

So where are all the 500 million year old apes? If there's no relationship between the apes' genes, why do they exist at roughly the same time in history?

Where would you propose they came from?
