I am currently working on the theory that all other primates are in fact mutations from Adam and Eve. Chimps, gorillas. orangutans and all the rest are, in essence, devolved humans. I'll get back to you, but so far it's looking good.

Other apes were here on earth before we were. We find their fossils deep underground where there are no fossils of people.

My theory does not hinge on the fossil record. Good grief, I find it depressing how relentlessly serious these silly forums are.

Reality is what it is. Other apes are deep underground and fossils of people are not. They've been around longer. Unless you think satan buried them deeper than human fossils to trick us.

Well, don't let me hold you up. I have a liberals r us meeting here in about 30 minutes...............................

Who knew it was "woke" to think that objects deeper underground were around before objects that are shallower underground.

I have a stack of papers on my desk. If I dig down to the bottom of it, should I expect to find the paper that I just added to the pile?

It sort of depends on whether or not you tap the top paper three times with a magic wand. I know this because I've been informed by the world's top magicians.

Ya got me. Who said anything about "woke"? Rather dull and overly serious, yes, but I don't believe I suggested anything about wokeness.

Yes, us flat-earthers are a hard act to follow, I know. That's plane to see to everyone here.

I think looking at whether humans are created by God using genetics is a sort of red herring that distracts away from the real differences that destinguish whether were are created in Gods image or not.

I think its to be expected that we should see a lot of similarities genetically between chimps and apes and humans as they well 'look alike' lol. Very so much so compared to other creatures. This same connection can be made within the animal kingdom and especially mammals.

Even the social behaviour and what appears to be emotions are similar. So theres something going on there which we see ourselves in other creatures. Maybe its anthropomorphising.

But that I think is the massive difference that we can do this. We can transcend the animalistic behaviour and thinking. I think this is profound and is underestimated as the difference to destinguish we are created beings.

Whether this difference is a small difference in genetic terms doesn't matter. Its profound in its transcedence of these processes and their limitations in accounting for such thinking and behaviour.

In thsat sense I think we are created as rational, moral and spiritual/divine beings. This is the image of God.

Some say this is consciousness. That humans are capable of consciousness that transcends objective reality. When you consider that this difference can actually result in reality itself, end our current reality, end the reality of other species, create new realities I think this difference is reality itself.

So though it may be genetically or biologically or deterministically similar in many ways. There is a massive difference that God installed that differentiates us from all other creatures. In fact having dominion over them.
