That's the only difference between humans and chimps? If we sat a human next to a chimp, you couldn't tell them apart by how they look?

Humans have a dedicated part of the brain just for faces.
Even blind people use the same part just for differences
in the face.

Chimps have a similar area used for similar purposes.

Researchers Identify Similar Brain Areas Responsible for Face Recognition in Humans and Chimps | Emory University | Atlanta, GA

From the article

In the first study of its kind, researchers at the Yerkes National Primate Research Center, Emory University, have found chimpanzees recognize faces of other chimpanzees using similar areas of the brain as humans use in facial recognition.

So what was your point? Things like this only take a couple of minutes to research on the web. I have found it a good idea to check my points before posting.

The only differences between chimps and humans is in our faces? Nowhere else?

You wouldn't remember

because you didn't bring up the point.


"Can I tell the difference?" My response was I have a part of my brain
dedicated to telling the difference in faces.

The only morphological differences between humans and chimps is in our faces?

Beneficial mutations are virtually unheard of. Which makes most mutations
neutral or damaging. Which is a big problem for Darwinian evolution. In
fact, one of many, many problems.

First, you have just admitted that all mutations are not bad.

Second, why is the fact that most mutations are neutral or damaging a big problem for Darwinian evolution?
Looks to me that the damaging mutations would be filtered out because, well, their damaging.
The neutral mutations would spread in a relatively random fashion into the population, making the individuals have differing capabilities.

I really don't see how this is a big problem for Darwinian evolution.

We are different from chimps because we aren't chimps and were
not created as chimps. We aren't even animals.

No problem. I understand the dimensions of jousting.

Scientifically, we are.
God views us differently
which secularists don't
want to comprehend.

Bears aren't chimps either, and they weren't created as chimps. So I guess they aren't animals either, by your reasoning.

I was with you until you chose the word "secularists". You know, many Christians are also secularists. It's not synonymous with atheist, if that's what you meant.

Assertion, unless you can back this opinion up with evidence.

Adam and Eve did not. In fact none of the first created creatures
had parents.

In the evolutionary viewpoint, does the first life form come from parents?

Yes, progeny always have a progenitor.
