Why do you think chimps, or other non-human apes need to live like we do for evolutionary theory to be valid? (And remember, humans are also apes.)
You avoided the question. If ape had an evolution history as long as we have. Why is there such a big difference today?

I don't think anyone can answer my question by theory of evolution. My purpose is simply reminding evolutionist don't just look at those scientific studies, but overlooked the MOST OBVIOUS fact everyone can easily see.

How about: It was an evolutionary advantage.

You can see for yourself, humans lack a lot of fur, thick layers of blubber, scales, etc etc etc for keeping the elements at bay. So being able to build a shelter and stay in one would confer *gasp* an advantage in NOT DYING OF EXPOSURE!

Wooo.

Your argument is just plain silly, if not desperate. It betrays an abominable understanding of the evolutionary theory. I don't know what else to tell you.
At earlier time, I used raising fire to illustrate the dramatic difference on the mental capability between ape and human (don't correct me, I am not an ape). It was a polite way of argument. Beyond using fire, we developed a slew of technology which goes far far beyond any ape can do, even giving them another 50 millions of years time to evolve.

The more I think of this, the more angry I feel toward evolutionist who insist we evolved from ape. Forgive me to say this, I really feel they are stupid. They are blinded by sciences, just like Solomon said about 3000 years ago.

A result of speciation, juvie, is that the separated groups go DIFFERENT ways. Why are you expecting them to be the same as us after 5 million years of heading in a different direction?

Solomon had no problem realising we are animals
Eccles 3:18 I said in my heart with regard to the children of man that God is testing them that they may see that they themselves are but beasts.
So if you are not a great ape like the rest of us beasts, what sort of organism are you? And how do you manage the keyboard?

...
Ape is a category of species. It's more specific than "mammal" but less specific than "human" or "chimpanzee." Sometimes Hollywood uses the word "ape" to describe a certain animal that you are probably picturing in your mind. But the species of animal you are picturing is "gorilla." There is no "ape" species just as there is no "mammal" species. Humans are apes, just as humans are mammals.

And, yes, there is a drastic difference in mental capability between humans and gorillas. But that isn't an argument against evolution. On the contrary, evolution is the theory that describes the reason for the diversity of life.

I know plenty of humans who don't wear stylish clothes, therefore evolution!! this whole thread is classic argument from incredulity, and from a professor no less!!
