I've just been lurking. Seeing what's been happening on here when I left. Quite glad I did too.



'We' never had an expert to begin with.

Glad you left...or glad you lurked?

*Or both...not everything has to be this or that.

..oh yeah...



**On a side note, do you know about diffusion?:

": the state of being spread out or transmitted especially by contact : the action of diffusing the diffusion of knowledge
2: PROLIXITY, DIFFUSENESS
3a chemistry : the process whereby particles of liquids, gases, or solids intermingle as the result of their spontaneous movement caused by thermal (see THERMAL entry 1 sense 1b) agitation and in dissolved substances move from a region of higher to one of lower concentration."

So, let's say you pour a shot of instant coffee into a glass of cold water. How long will it take those crystals to mix with the water...without doing anything more than dumping a spoonful in the water?

Now, let's say you heated the water up, then you got a heaping scoop and dumped it into the water...and then, you used the spoon to vigorously stir in the coffee crystals...how much quicker would you have a nice, steamy cup of coffee?

I'm not trying to win a debate...I'm tending the garden...
I know, there is no debate. The fact that you and I are apes was settled a long time ago. It appears that educating yourself is not part of taking care of your garden. It must be a rather small backyard one.

When talking about evolution most of the detractors conveniently ignore the 150 years plus of value added research and discovery:
I know. It is amazing that they so often act as if only one or at the most two examples of fossils and ignore all the variations discovered over the years. They still ask about the "missing link" or all things when we have so many links now that for any creationists at least one of the fossils of our lineage that we have that they will eventually claim is "100% ape".

I agree...eventually,if we don't destroy the earth first, and we keep thinking along evolutionary lines...we will be 100% ape.

*Actually,less than ape, if we so cast off our God given faculties...at least the apes act and think to their created potential...

You already are "100% ape". Tell me why do you think that you are not.

In other words you have no excuse.

Excuse from who...Charles Robert Darwin...don't need it...


*Excuses imply a standard...what do apes have to do with that?

Playing semantic games is another way of admitting that you are wrong.

Why does the fact that you share a common ancestor with other apes such a problem for you?

Oh, now you're changing your tone (no fun intended)..."a common ancestor" huh, is that how you attempt to cross the unbridgeable gap between apes and us?

That is the same thing. That common ancestor was an ape so of course that means that you are an ape.

You already are "100% ape". Tell me why do you think that you are not.
1. Our bodies can be similar to apes, but even bodies are not 100% the same, or else you would not be able to recognize ape from human

2. Our spirit (or rationality, intelect, soul, whatever you want to call it) is obviously different, regarding what we achieved, how we think and regarding religion. The average life-time achievement of an ape is to use a stick to get a food.

3. Our position in the creation order is obviously different. We rule the world and change it, while animals accomodate to the world and to us (or die out).

Things evolve, cross boundaries to another level. The old is left, the new is ahead. Even if we bodily are from apes, we are not apes anymore, obviously. Look around, see the differences. We can share some similarities, but thats all.
