Speak for yourself. I have a voice box, an appendix, get regular haircuts, and have human feet, not hands, at the end of my ankles.We certainly resemble other primates.
I steer clear of saying others aren't Christians, especially if they claim to be.My only real objection to biblical literalism is the "You're not a real Christian unless you agree with my interpretation of Genesis" rants it leads some of our creationist colleagues to indulge in. For my part, I wouldn't like to have to answer to God for a belief like that.
Until we act like one,* then "primates" wonder what triggered us.We certainly resemble other primates.
We also have a soul and spirit.Speak for yourself. I have a voice box, an appendix, get regular haircuts, and have human feet, not hands, at the end of my ankles.
Because i don't believe it is true.Why?
It makes no difference who agrees with whom or how many, truth isn't established by numbers of believers; each group has their own, often conflicting, interpreted truth. It's known as coherence truth, because all it takes is coherence with some agreed framework of beliefs (e.g. interpretations). None of them need relate to the author's intended meaning.Again, I'm going to have to disagree.
And I think this can be tested:
I submit the overliteralists would be closest in agreement, followed by the literalists, followed by the allegoricalists.
- Put ten people with ten different backgrounds in ten rooms.
- Have them read and interpret Genesis 1: first literally, then over literally, then allegorically.
- Compare the interpretations.
What's in a name? Being a primate is nothing to be afraid or ashamed of, any more than the fact that we are mammals. It simply means that we match all the definitive criteria for those groups. The fact that our closest genetic relatives are the great apes makes us great apes too. We have a common ancestor with chimpanzees - so I think we've done rather well in comparison.No we are not. Stop spreading false information.

Nope, the equivalent structure is formed differently in most monkeys.Do monkeys?
