No, it just means I know the definition of terms and science.

Who made the definition? Evolutionists.
I make a category of God. So God exist. Is that what your "definition" look like.
Very very poor logic.

I dont think we descended from apes. We are made in the image of God.

We are apes. And mammals. And vertebrates. And bilatarians.

The flawed ToE teaches that humans descended from the common ancestor of Apes. This theory is provably false since it cannot explain the process by which we obtained our superior intelligence to ANY other living creature on planet Earth, from mindless Nature. The ToE falsely assumes that we magically changed from prehistoric animal like creature, into reasoning humans, and we just now are becoming smart enough to post online.

Truth is that we changed from prehistoric to human in ONE generation when Noah's grandsons married and passed Adam's superior intelligence, which is like God's Gen 3:22 to the sons of God (prehistoric people) Gen 6:4 who were already here when the Ark arrived, 11k years ago. Today's humans (descendants of Adam) are the result since we have the DNA of prehistoric beings AND the superior intelligence which ONLY Adam and God have. We did NOT descend from Apes. That's God's Truth Scripturally. Amen?
We did.

Next?

there are many scientific evidence against common descent. according to evolution a molecule can evolve into a princess. we have no evidence for such claim.
Aren’t you the guy who believes in magical animal cars?

”Evolutionists”? Get real.

Arguing against physical reality is foolish.

God does not look like an Ape neither does His son Jesus neither do we look like apes in heaven and we were not created as apes. If the devil have twisted the human race somehow so be it but God created humans in His own image starting with Adam and Eve.

I’ve got a biology degree . Humans ARE apes . All of the great apes are family Hominidae. Once they sequenced the human genome in the late 90s the next one was the chimps. There had been an argument from the late 60s on, about changing the great ape and human family names to a single one . The two sequenced genomes were the defining moment . So yes humans are great apes not only because we said so but because our genes say so. Anatomically chimps and gorillas have more similar bodies (because of a similar lifestyle) but genetically humans and chimps are more closely related. The former family name, Pongidae, for the great apes is retired and no longer used.

Who made the definition? Evolutionists.

Wrong. The first definitions were made by Linnaeus, who classified humans alongside the apes within the primates. This happened more than a century before Darwin published on evolution.

"Linnaeus’ classification was important in many ways, not the least of which was how he classified humans. He named humans Homo sapiens, and placed us in the genus Homo. He also placed orangutans and chimpanzees, the two apes known at the time, in the genus Homo. And he placed Homo in a family, which he dubbed Primates. Primates also included two other genera, simians and lemurs. Although Linnaeus believed that humans were special beings in God’s creation, he slotted our species into his system as if it were any other."

Creationist publications are famous for using confusing scientific terminology and for changing the meanings of established scientific terminology. They then use that to confuse people about the status of evolution within the internationally accepted,mainstream, life science, community. This includes biology paleontology geology biogeography anatomy biochemistry genetics etc . Consensus in the scientific community means that all of the evidence points to one place. It doesn’t mean that we sat around a coffee table and agreed to say the same stupid thing.

If you disagree, well then you are simply in error. There is no room for debate on this.
actually there is. let me ask you this: if god created human. you will still conclude human is an ape?

Essentialsaltes is correct Linnaeus did place apes originally in genus Homo because they were originally thought to be defective humans . They were removed because the Victorians disliked the idea of animals being in genus Homo with us.

There’s a common meme among evolution deniers of saying that common genes doesn’t mean common descent. THAT IS ABSOLUTELY NOT TRUE.
why not? do you agree for instance that the similarity among cars point to a common designer (human)?

It's not a "conclusion" it's a definition, a man made category like all the rest of of biological taxonomy.

I believe that God created humans and all life on Earth through His natural processes. I believe that ID is a base attempt to corrupt our understanding of those processes in aid of a right-wing political agenda.

Cars don't have a common designer. There are tens of thousands of automotive designers.
