You define (classify) that human is an ape. Then human, no matter what, is an ape. Then you can not use it in the reasoning which argued that human is not evolved from ape. To you, it is a definition, but people do not accept that definition.
humans use a language and walk on 2 (some apes can walk on 2 but its not their regular walking and they do it for several seconds).
When the task is to categorize creatures according to their anatomy, that is exactly what one should do.
No No No. How do you know his classification was wrong? How is it obvious?
Since humans are biologically capable of mating at any time, and since we decide where, when and with whom to mate based on considerations other than biology, it has become an almost universal feature of human behavior to cover the genitals when not ready to have sex.
He was confused (like anyone would be) by the similarity of all the skeletons.
Beg Your pardon Jimmy, I was only telling my belief and that is I do believe God created humans in His image not monkeys that evolved into humans. If I would believe that Adam and Eve were apes then I could not see that they were in the image of God. If God himself tell me I am in error on this when I meet Him after this life on earth I think He is testing me at first but I would ask Him how and what He means. Like I would ask how long is a day if it is not 24 hours. If God created the world on was it 6 days and rested on the seventh. A lot of christians I know do not believe in evolution.
But Linnaean classification is based on "structural similarities of the different organisms"!
You have unwittingly testified that he classified them correctly. Thanks!
I knew in my undergraduate years. It is used because there is no other better one. But it does not say it is a good one.
You agree it's the best we have; no one has a better one. And yet your original claim was that it was obviously wrong.
Because they haven't the ability we have, which is to be able to contain our appetites for abstract reasons. We can decide not to have sex, even when we want to. We can create categories of right and wrong, and discern the difference. Honestly, you ought to sit down and actually read that story, instead of just combing through it for proof-texts.Why didn't this happen in apes?

How do You know evolution is not also another false teaching, just as another ones false god?
I said it is "obviously" wrong when applied to human.
-_- what are you talking about? Chimps have fashion. In fact, in one group, it was popular to wear a blade of grass in their ear.The list is LOOONG.
But it does not have to. Only one or two items is enough to shut down the idea that human is an ape.
For example, no one can explain a simple character that human wears clothes, but animals (apes) don't.
Do you mean how did I come to believe in Christ Jesus as more than just an idea or tradition, but totally real, risen, for real? Several steps, but one of the key was that as Paul wrote "So faith comes from hearing, and hearing through the word of Christ." -- actually listening to Christ's words! Actually, not just being in a church, etc. (just merely professing or saying one is Christian, merely being raised in a church -- that is not faith). For me I wanted to know why did He say "love your enemy"; I really wanted to understand that, the why, so that tug made me read more, and more carefully, and then as Paul wrote -- this very listening, actually trying to hear -- this is what allowed me start to have real faith (not merely a tradition or thinking one has faith, but actual faith, the kind of which even a mustard seed amount is very potent). There was more, but that was one of the key things. Also this! --
7“Ask and it will be given to you; seek and you will find; knock and the door will be opened to you. 8For everyone who asks receives; the one who seeks finds; and to the one who knocks, the door will be opened.
9“Which of you, if your son asks for bread, will give him a stone?10Or if he asks for a fish, will give him a snake? 11If you, then, though you are evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your Father in heaven give good gifts to those who ask him!12So in everything, do to others what you would have them do to you, for this sums up the Law and the Prophets."
This is for real. There is no subsitute. A person not having done this, where are they? They would be merely in their own stuff perhaps. Only what He says is the way, not some other stuff.
There is no other way, but Him.
Alone.
Not creationism -- that's "sand" as He told us in Matthew chapter 7, so far as being the basis for faith. Those building on merely a version of creationism are on sand, and will be destroyed unless they do instead what He said in Matthew chapter 7, verses 21-27.
And now we're back to my original question...
How do you know his classification was wrong? How is it obvious?
Our designation as an ape has to do with physical features, such as our lack of a tail. Behaviors aren't accounted for in taxonomy because they are widely variable. Unless you want to claim that nudists aren't human?
move IN the water - Swim. and not made from water
Apes (at least in this part of Genesis) were made with land animals
Then God said, "Let the earth bring forth living creatures after their kind: cattle and creeping things and beasts of the earth after their kind"; and it was so. God made the beasts of the earth after their kind, and the cattle after their kind, and everything that creeps on the ground after its kind; Gen 1: 24-25
Of course in this part of Genesis humans both male and female were created together "God created man in His own image, in the image of God He created him; male and female He created them.…" Gen 1:27
