Because we do know that we share a common ancestor with other apes. Why should scientists pretend that we don't know this?

Because we do know that we share a common ancestor with other apes. Why should scientists pretend that we don't know this?Why don't scientists admit that they don't know for sure if we descended from a common ape-like ancestor then?
The poster seems big on making statements and not so willing to support those statements.
The same advice applies to you when you cherrypick the pleasant-sounding parts of scripture to suit your purposes.What in the world are you talking about? Be careful when you cherry pick Scripture to suit your purposes.

You seem to be totally unfamiliar with the evidence for evolution. Would that be correct?Really? How do you "know" this? Has the evidence been observed and replicated in the lab?
I didn't bring them into the equation. I clearly stated that "Obviously I was referring to the Christians in the video. I didn't think that needed to be spelled out." You are dodging by focusing on this detail instead of the overarching point.
They claim the same about you.
So first you present a strawman of my position and then, when I've called you out for this, you follow up by asking me whether I should agree with the strawman you devised?
He did. And so did I. Perhaps you should do the same?I have done no such thing. Rather I have repeatedly said, search the Scriptures for yourself.
Still waiting for you to demonstrate this; "true science".
Much like Yahweh in the Bible.
It doesn't matter whether you think he was acting in obedience to God. The point is that he thought so. He invoked religion as part of the justification for his actions.
Another strawman! Can you please point to the post where I stated that Christians shouldn't speak up against such things?
That's "wilful disobedience" according to your theology, which isn't universal even among Christians, as I already demonstrated by linking to that video earlier.
In relation to our discussion so far, it is fairly conclusive. Remember, the purpose of sharing that video was:Oh yes, the video that only provided snippets of conversation from antagonistic "Christians", compared with similar ideology from antagonistic Muslims. Sorry, far from conclusive.
Given that there are probably Christian members on this site who harbour similar views to those expressed in the video, please bear in mind that it's against the forum's rules to state or imply that a member who identifies as a Christian is not a Christian.To show you that other "Bible-believing Christians" have differing views to your own. You may disagree with them, but you cannot say that they are not Christians. They are.
Good luck in waiting for a straight answer.

You call my terminology "sloppy", I consider such blatant claims on things they haven't even come close to proving "sloppy."
If scientists don't have the answers, they should admit that they don't. Instead, many of them make giant leaps to conclusions that are far from supported by any kind of replicated/repeated observation. Very sloppy.
I am well aware of how the rules work. I'm reminding you of them, which I thought you'd appreciate given your concern that all members abide by the rules.That only works if you are talking about someone specifically. I've done no such thing. Nice try though.
Really? Where does science claim life originated from then? It certainly says SOMETHING on the matter.
Likewise. I have received no straight answers about science and its claims here either. Everyone is too busy making excuses for all the holes in scientific theories.
It is clear I will get no honest answers here.

I have supported them. However, if you choose to ignore and dismiss what I've said and instead repeatedly ask the same questions over and over, THAT is telling.
