I am not claiming that the classification system is incorrect, what I saying is that pushing a classification system on anyone who does not accept that humans evolved is meaningless. In my thinking our emphasis should be on countering the misinformation that some have been taught about science basics in general and of evolutionary science in particular.What are the supposed "differences"? The problem is that your classification system is going to rely on a series of special pleading fallacies. Chimpanzees are more closely related to us than they are to Gorillas. As a result if they are apes we are apes, or if we are not apes by the same logic they are not apes. The same as we go up to the split between orangs and the group of man, chimps, and gorillas. And then one more set of special pleading fallacies when you go up to the the great apes and gibbons. It is better to simply use reality even if the creationists object.
I agree that is why I said Christians who do not accept evolution but in retrospect it may have been better to say, Christians who believe that humans did not evolve to their present form.By the way, please do not conflate "Christians" and creationists. Worldwide most Christians are not creationists. Creationism is largely an American disease.
