As a Christian, how many of you believe in evolution?

[AV1611VET]

Was Jesus human?

Yes.

Hi, Servant.

Nice to meet you and welcome to CF!

Question: Is Jesus also a great ape?

Hi, no. Humans had already evolved by the time Jesus walked. The evolution from ape to man had already been completed.

 

[AV1611VET]

Hi, no. Humans had already evolved by the time Jesus walked. The evolution from ape to man had already been completed.

But according to evolution, we are "great apes."

Why would I want what?

You made this claim that indicated that you did not accept human evolution:

"This is why, in my opinion, there is the infamous missing link"

At any rate for evolution to stop life would have to stop. Evolution is a byproduct of life.

Not "according to evolution" according to even Linnaeus. He realized that men were apes too and he was a creationist.

I specifically stated in the beginning of that comment that I believe in evolution 100%. My info was just outdated. That is my fault.

What?

Let's try this again:

According to evolution, we are "great apes."

Nope, according to classification.

We are apes by definition.

No, according to science if you must. And there is no need for scare quotes. You are a great ape. You should feel honored. You can point out to at least one way that you are great.

 

[AV1611VET]

You are a great ape.

So in your opinion, anyone who would say Jesus isn't/wasn't a great ape is wrong, aren't they?

 

[Kylie]

They sure did. What's your point? I didn't say every sea creature to have ever existed was created, just sea creatures. That statement just seems irrelevant to me.

You said that, according to the Bible, sea creatures came before land creatures, and that's not true. There are some sea creatures that came before land creatures, and some land creatures that came before some sea creatures.

And I think the "missing link" in the context I was using it in is the piece of evidence that connects Neanderthals to Homo Sapiens

Homo sapiens didn't evolve from neanderthals. We both share a common ancestor. Like how you and your cousins share a common ancestor, but you aren't descended from your cousins.

Nitpicking to the point where you tell a person making a point that he is wrong.

One man tried to stop the launch, but he couldn't convince the panel because they thought they had all the bases covered.

Too bad they were engineers, rather than scientists

Your explanation makes no sense.

 

[AV1611VET]

Ya -- being a scientist is off-limits to engineers, isn't it?

 

[AV1611VET]

That's probably what they told Roger Boisjoly.

 

[Speedwell]

They're just different professions, with different educational requirements, that's all.

If Jesus was a man then by definition he was a Great Ape, just as he was a mammal, and a vertebrate etc..

What evasion? I answered your question.
