Not flying squirrels? or Pluto as our 9th planet? or prenatal Thalidomide?My wife once fell for an April fool's gag where the BBC had an article about flying penguins.
At least ... not anymore ... hopefully.Nobody is falling for those gags.
that nonsensical my friend,But it is a very great favor you have done in stressing the structure of the foot, because the feet of humans clearly have vestigial digits. We simply have NO USE AT ALL for any of the toes except the great toe. This is easily explained by evolution; when we started the upright biped way of life, the toes were no longer needed, and they degenerated into the vestigial digits we see today. There is no reason to have them from a creationist point of view.
you mentioned nails and hair,
in your opinion why is the constant growth of both not consistent throughout the "family" ?
(only humans have this trait compared to the great apes)
stereoscopic vision is very common across the board and not isolated to great apes and man.
the chimp brain is a third smaller than mans, hardly a comparison.
define "thumb", lizards and birds have grasping abilities.
intelligence is subjective, are we measuring speech abilities (man stands alone),problem solving and learning (slime can navigate a maze and remember the course) etc.

sorry officer, i will get right on it.Gene2memE gave a reasoned argument why your OP is flawed (post 2), aren't you going to respond?
Primates and human toes are not the only toes that can grasp. Bird toes can grasp.
Citations needed.
Several of these jump out at me immediately as being incorrect:
Chimps and bonobos certainly have comparable bone structures to humans and other primates, modern and archaic, certainly have similar skull anatomies.
The skin point I disagree with as there is such thing as melanin.
The adipose tissue point is out too, as sedentary primates such as those in captivity tend to have similar levels of body fat to humans, and very active humans tend to have similar levels of body fat to other primates.
Chromosome fusion is not a point I'd be willing to bring up if I was debating the classification of humans, as fusion of human Chromosome 2 is entirely consistent with the common ancestry of humans and other apes and one of the better arguments for common descent.
Lack of a baculum has at least three hypothesis, but there have also been several cases of humans being born with one, only to have it removed later. When you compare phylogeny and bacular size data on great apes, its clear that the close you get to humans, the smaller the baculum becomes.
Primates we are. Primates we will remain. The phylogeny shows it, the nested hierarchy shows it, the fossil evidence shows it and the genetic evidence shows it.

Did your wife once fall, as atheists did, for the gag where squirrels flew, Pluto was[n't] our 9th planet, and Thalidomide was a prenatal wonder drug too?I'm not sure what you mean. What do they have to do with penguins?
that nonsensical my friend,
lets consider that you said that "upright biped" locomotion started (im going to be generous and lets say 3 million years ago) and the "toes were no longer needed", and in that time "evolution" states man underwent massive and rapid neurological and skeletal changes except for the toes.
come on now.
have your toes cut off and then try to reach for something high up on your tippy toe (the one you have left).
it is a medical fact all human toes help with balance and weight distribution.
Then the LORD God formed a man from the dust of the ground and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life, and the man became a living being.
So the LORD GOD form all creatures before he made man. Then when man evoled from nothing but starting a world that once was just dust. He is the One who made man possible. So why would evolution be impossible if you have physical proof to see we evolved right in front of you go look it up on google. Adam and Eve were the first two that evolved to be like LORD GOD.
[pedantic] It's LORD God [/pedantic]
There's no such thing as: LORD GOD.
None of my business AV, but you're about the age of someone who might have been harmed by the "prenatal wonder drug."Did your wife once fall, as atheists did, for the gag where squirrels flew, Pluto was[n't] our 9th planet, and Thalidomide was a prenatal wonder drug too?
Or was it just penguins?
