Well clearly these chimps are about to turn into humans. Any day now I bet they'll morph into walking talking people. Or maybe one of the female chimps will pop out a human child. That's how it works right?

Yah, about as likely as all their other claims about human descent.

That's exactly how you think it works if you have been conned into believing in creationism, and I should think you make a pretty good creationist because you obviously have exactly what it takes, Kent Hovind and the banana man would be proud of you.

I'm sorry I should not have written that, no one should be told that Kent Hovind and the banana man would be proud of them.

Are there high schools in the US that don't teach evolution properly? It would seem so. How sad.

Wrong.

Solomon, who had apes imported ... probably to study them ...

1 Kings 10:22 For the king had at sea a navy of Tharshish with the navy of Hiram: once in three years came the navy of Tharshish, bringing gold, and silver, ivory, and apes, and peacocks.

... concluded against evolution:

Ecclesiastes 7:29a Lo, this only have I found, that God hath made man upright;

Also note in the rest of that verse, where he compares [prescience] evolution to an "invention..."

Ecclesiastes 7:29b ... but they have sought out many inventions.

... whereas scientists call evolution a "discovery"?

You believing this garbage is one thing, indoctrinating children to believe this garbage is seen by many as child abuse, I happen to be one of them.
Do you consider children being indoctrinated in a Muslim Madrassa child abuse?

You believing this garbage is one thing,

That's right ... you're entitled to your opinion.
... indoctrinating children to believe this garbage is seen by many as child abuse,

"Many," as in those who see themselves as some kind of self-appointed child protection agency?

I have a feeling that these "many" don't work for the community.

If so, they either check those opinions at the door, or they don't work there long.
I happen to be one of them.

I'll go out on a limb then and say you don't work for child protective services.
Do you consider children being indoctrinated in a Muslim Madrassa child abuse?

No.

Please don't assume everyone thinks as you do.

Child abuse is a crime that is taken seriously in this nation, and I assume it comes with well-defined criteria; your criteria withstood.

Keeping children ignorant about reality is child abuse no matter who does it, it's my opinion that indoctrinating children into Islam and creationism is nothing short of child abuse.

Then almost every scientist on earth should be locked up.

2 Kings 6:17 And Elisha prayed, and said, LORD, I pray thee, open his eyes, that he may see. And the LORD opened the eyes of the young man; and he saw: and, behold, the mountain was full of horses and chariots of fire round about Elisha.

Their brand of reality is so compartmentalized, it's like comparing a grain of sand to the ocean.
... it's my opinion that indoctrinating children into Islam and creationism is nothing short of child abuse.

I have a feeling you won't call and report them though, will you?

Or will you? I'm sure they get calls from ... well ... "concerned citizens" periodically.

Perhaps that's why they're slow at times to respond to legitimate claims -- they're out there rabbits.

Being the expert on KJV that you are, AV, you do of course understand that "upright" here means the same as "righteous" or "honest"?

I do indeed.

But why can't it mean both?

Do you know that it meant both in his language?
Nope.

ETA: I looked it up out of curiosity, and according to Wrong's Concordance:

03477. yashar, yaw-shawr'

straight (literally or figuratively):--convenient, equity, Jasher, just, meet(-est), + pleased well right(-eous), straight, (most) upright(-ly, -ness).

Oh, haha. ^_^ Sorry. People on this website have said worse and meant it.

I started this thread as a joke and just to share a unique piece of information. Now I'm just sad that such a silly statement could be taken seriously....:(

Not everyone agrees with your assumption that scientist was the result of theory of evolution which came out of the heart of the scientist which is idolatry.
