Science has been demonstrated to be the best way to gain reliable and replicable information about our physical universe. Musing about reincarnation or the afterlife and what thoughts will get you reborn into what shape is NOT and has NEVER been a way of gaining reliable and replicable information about our physical universe.
I can and did cite DNA similarity. I also can and did cite our morphological similarity. Humans are biologically apes. I notice that you do not name a SINGLE physical criteria by which humans would be excluded from the ape clade.
The theory explains the fact. How do you propose to explain the fact that humans and chimps are closer in DNA than a chimp is to a gorilla?
Why would you group chimps together with gorillas, who they are NOT as closely related to, but exclude humans, who chimps ARE the closest in relation to?
Although science as it is currently understood, certainly has uses, and had discovered some interesting things, it is not the only way to see the truths of the universe. It is merely one faulty way. It’s like looking into a huge cavern with a flickering penlight.
So I am not the person to get into a science type discussion. It really doesn’t interest me.
I am interested in eternal Truth and how the light of eternal Truth gives meaning and purpose to life, and also shines light on the temporal relative truths in the universe. I am not very interested in the flickering penlight that at best can illuminate a tiny part of the cavern, and can shed no light at all on the entire cavern, or the world outside the cavern.
