I was trying to be civil. Do you like me to express it explicitly?
Of course it is biological.
This is a common claim I see, and I'm sure everyone on this forum sees, very often from creationists/ID proponents that goes: "Humans aren't apes".
For this, I would like an answer: Biologically, how aren't humans apes?
So you turn "Humans aren't apes" your actual observation of what people say, into a question on how humans aren't biologically apes?
The fact DNA was used on everything doesn't mean we evolved and it doesn't take God from the picture of creation.
That is obvious, one would think. We ain't. No more than we are a pig or a cockroach. I understand that those are all considered family to evos, but let's call a spade a spade.So the reason, for you, that humans aren't apes is because of the line of logic of "Well I ain't no dirty, stinkin' ape!".
On the other hand a better rendition of those words might be for men who strain at similarities between animals and man while ignoring the camel of creation.Straining at gnats and swallowing camels, as somebody once said.
You accepted that even one change in a base pair could be fatal. Yet you cannot accept that 40 million differences point to an even more significant difference and de novo design intervention.
The notion that similar code in 2 different species will generate a similar mutational history in response to a shared environment will account for most of the others.
False. It was created the way He saw fit. The way you look at fossils and DNA is skewed and makes things look a certain way to you.Except for the fact that if life didn't evolve it was clearly created in a manner which mimics the outcome one would expect from evolution.
Why is wrong of me to ask for clarification on that statement?
Except for the fact that if life didn't evolve it was clearly created in a manner which mimics the outcome one would expect from evolution. Which begs the question to why a creator would do such a thing, but such questions, alas, never are answered.
The statement you claimed was made when i reality it never was? It was the deception that led to your question that concerned me.
What's to clarify? The DNA is similar, no one ever claimed it wasn't that I know of. So, to you, does that make us Apes?
Actually what exactly are you attempting to point out here?
That is obvious, one would think. We ain't. No more than we are a pig or a cockroach. I understand that those are all considered family to evos, but let's call a spade a spade.
It's not about the differences between apes and humans since humans are apes.
What I'm asking is, can creationists and ID proponents give a biological reason why humans aren't apes.
Post flood? When do you believe this flood occurred?
I was under the impression that H Erectus was around 2 million years before H Sapiens?
Besides, going back to your earlier post, it seems inconsistent to accept the micro evolution of Ape into "Mutated Ape" like human, but not the micro evolution of "Mutated Ape" like human into human.
The brain being the answer but you ruled that one out.
I think opposable toes and the apes swinging lifestyle may also be considered an important difference in creature style but agree with you that being hairy and swinging from trees by your toes is not as significant as non Tarzan lovers would like to believe.
It's refreshing that you've finally admitted that your entire hangup on this thread is basically because of your own line of reasoning which is "I ain't no dirty stinking ape!"
No I have no aversion to apes. But staring into their blank faces at the Zoo is enough to convince me I am not one.
What does God look like?
Except that your entire line of logic in this thread heavily hints that the reason you don't see yourself as an ape because you find it wrong. Even though, biologically, you are one.
No it is the biblical distinction made between apes and humans that matters. God made us in His image while apes are just another animal. It seems that what it means to be made in Gods image biologically is focused very much on the brain and how intelligence, consciousness, spirituality shapes the way we then regard and use our bodies.
