• Starting today August 7th, 2024, in order to post in the Married Couples, Courting Couples, or Singles forums, you will not be allowed to post if you have your Marital status designated as private. Announcements will be made in the respective forums as well but please note that if yours is currently listed as Private, you will need to submit a ticket in the Support Area to have yours changed.

  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

Chimp and human species look nothing alike

Like I said, all you can do is use names and insults. You call people evil so you don't have to deal with facts.
Denying creation is evil according to the bible. We are to worship Him that made heaven and earth.

And just in case there was still doubt that chimps look like humans, being the topic and all.

Yes, you like to use it as an excuse to ignore reality and call other people names.
The angel in Revelation said to wicked men.. worship him that created heaven snd earth. That is reality, not your doubts.

If I'm chimp like, that's not what does it.
What really makes people is what is invisible..inside. the physical aspects are largely determined by genes. As the OP brought out, the junk or unused dna of man and chimps is not alike. That seems to clinch it.

I see no heart snd soul here. Lots of animals have eyes, legs, etc. That is not what makes a man.

You're starting to get it. We are like chimps in our bodies. But unlike chimps, God directly gives each of us an immortal soul.

True. However I feel less in common with apes than dogs or cats. Monkeys seem foolish and anything but deep, true or loyal. Hard to think of any animal less likeman to me. Heck, even bugs have traits man can learn from. Monkeys..?

Please, Dad - it seemed appropriate to me to ask: is there actually anyway to differentiate between animal and man that is both mysterious and science and (which evidences ____)?

My thought is basically, that: there is no way that three times the mystery for an animal - can ever agree with merely double the mystery ____ ____ ____ ____ for a man made (compelling ____ ____- - - - - - - -).

I have thought about the way in which I posed this question ____ over time (); my thought ____ ____ now is that, there is obviously some correlation as a lesser precept ____ ____ ____ between what gorillas at best refuse to think about ____ ____ ____ ____ and men at worst, think about for any other reason ____ ____ ____ ____ ____ than relationship with ____ ____ ____ compelling ____ ____ (that was already in the heart - to act ___ on (when ____ ____ ____ God -- was believed ---)).

Possibly, it is simply that ___ believing oneself clothed as animals were ___ ___ one should deliver the cross one had ___ ___ ___ to a lesser madness and ____ to some extent trusting ____ ____ that all diseases are knowable - most should commit to facilitating a lesser prayer for healing (over ___ time ___) that is not deniable ___ ___ ___ even by a memory of ___ ___ truth ___ ___.

In other words, at some point, animals will eat the corrupt (prayer to escape their most desperate hour ___ more often than not ___ ___ being more than enough).

True. However I feel less in common with apes than dogs or cats.

Dogs have been coevolving with us for a very long time. They are obviously much more distant from us than chimps are, but they fit nicely into our lives, having adapted to us, and we to them. While chimps are genetically very close to human, behaviorally they are very wild. But you see remarkable things in them, that show human-like behavior. They are capable of inferring mental states in others, which few other animals can do. They make tools, planning ahead for their use.

They show loyalty to family, and live much as primitive humans did for most of our history, as small bands, hostile to all others.

Monkeys seem foolish and anything but deep, true or loyal.

Chimps are no more monkeys than we are.
