Well then you should get another "plug" labeled correctly.
Apparently, God looks like a monkey. Have a look at the taxonomy of a human:
You are claiming that a fly will always be a fly. Yes, this is true. And a human will always be a human - but that human will also always be an ape, a simian, a primate, a placental mammal, a livebearer, a mammal, an amniote, a tetrapod, a vertebrate, a chordate, an animal and a eukaryote.
- Homo - Human
- Hominidiae - Great apes
- Hominoidea - Apes
- Catarrhini - Old World Monkeys
- Haplorrhini - Simians
- Primates
- Eutheria - Placental mammals
- Theria - Mammals bearing live young
- Mammalia - Mammals
- Amniotes
- Tetrapods - Four-legged animals
- Vertebrates
- Chordates
- Animals
- Eukaryotes
The fly never stops being a fly, even if it eventually looks completely different. That's how evolution and taxonomy works.
You are so similar to a monkey that you could have a blood transfusion with one. Well, a chimp, anyway. You are so similar that you can teach it a portion of your language. You both have a social structure, you both use tools, you are both intelligent.
You are focusing on the differences, when those differences pale into insignificance if you consider the similarities.
If you sat next to a chimp, and you sat facing an alsatian and a chihuahua, which looks most similar? You and the chimp.
Yet you accept that the the dogs are the same species! You say a fly will always be a fly, does that mean that you accept that these chaps are related:
They look completely different! That is, if you concentrate on the differences. Of course, they both have wings, they both have a chitinous exoskeleton, they both have six legs... But chimps and humans share much more.
And of course, if you want to claim chimps are not related to humans, you ignore swathes of incontrovertible genetic evidence such as human chromosome 2, which can only be explained by common ancestry.
Nice Pictures. No, you can also, explain it this way, God did it!
Ah yes, one of the 3 mainstays of creation "science" when it finally runs out of room to move the goalposts:Nice Pictures. No, you can also, explain it this way, God did it!
What is God, and how did he do it? You have exlpained nothing; you have merely invoked an implausable entity and proclaimed that it did it.Nice Pictures. No, you can also, explain it this way, God did it!
Except that that doesn't actually "explain" anything.Nice Pictures. No, you can also, explain it this way, God did it!

I am NOT a modified monkey. I am from Adam who was created in the likeness and image of God.
Not only DO I look differently than a monkey, I am different than a monkey.
You are different from every single human being, also. Does this mean that you are not human? Of course not. The only meaningful way of grouping species is by their similarities.
And both are apes. Inan3, how do you define 'Ape'?And yet, humans are still humans and chimpanzees are still chimpanzees.

I second this request.
What the heck is a "kind"?We are referred to as mankind --- not to be confused at all with the other kinds in the Bible.

I remember that thread. I loved this part:Click here for the answer.
Molal: "Define "kind"."
AV1611VET: "A 'kind', IMO, is an animal at the top of its taxon, containing maximum alleles."
Frumious Bandersnatch: "Maximum alleles? What does that mean?"
AV1611VET: "Beats me."
Frumious Bandersnatch: "Do you even know what alleles are?"
AV1611VET: "I absolutely do not - (for about the fifth time)."
Frumious Bandersnatch: "Which taxon would the animal be at the top of?"
AV1611VET: "I haven't a clue."
I remember that thread. I loved this part:
Technically you are correct. I just stole that from MrGoodBytes's sig. Your definition from that thread was :Better check ur memory then --- that's not in that thread.
It was purely guesswork by your part anyways.A kind is a plant or animal at the top of (term you couldn't define) that contains all the genetic blueprints necessary to replenish the earth as God intended.
