Why are there no human apes alive today?

I often hear that Humans are more intelligent than the Gorilla.But one:

• never seems in a hurry.
• spends his day eating and playing with the kids.
• has his women folk about him.
• takes a nap every day.
• never worries about what to wear.
• never worries about budgets or taxes.
• has never gone to war.
• doesn't much care what the neighbors think.
• is never late for work.
• has never heard kids asking "What's for dinner"?
• doesn't have to block out channels on the remote.

I have a feeling that just maybe, when they were handing out intelligence, the Gorillas and Humans flipped a coin.We lost.

Why, the Roman Catholic Church just like every other major recognized Christian Church acknowledges the fact of Evolution and that the Theory of Evolution is the only model that explains the variety and diversity of life seen today.It is only the Christian Cult of *** that tries to market the crap called Creationism or Intelligent Design.Edited by jar, : change subtitle

It's not just the RCC. EVERY major Christian Church accepts the fact or Evolution and that the ONLY explanation and model that explains what is seen is the Theory of Evolution.There is no Creationist model.

I'm sorry but that is simply a lie.I have a theory, it is called the Theory of Evolution.And there are no models on your link, just classic Creationist misrepresentation. Your link simply lists ways that Creationists misrepresent reality.No one ever claimed to have all the answers. What they have pointed out is that "God did it" is an empty, worthless, content free assertion that explains nothing.And when you say "Likewise so can creationists that put their faith in an all powerful God as opposed to the reasonings of mankind." you are simply spouting nonsense and implying things that simply do not exists.There is no reason those who support the fact of Evolution and understand that the only model that explains the diversity of life seen is the Theory of Evolution cannot also have faith in God.

You are of course free to say anything you want, but the fact is no Creationist has ever presented a model that explains anything.How does the wittle creator critter you are trying to market direct evolutionary changes? Does it use its wittle screw driver or wittle tweezers or does it plunk its magic twanger froggy?

More misrepresentation from you as well as utter nonsense.Please present the science you claim to be talking about.Please present the evidence that "God went into one of these *** dimensions theorised, created each kind in a giant petrie dish and used dark matter as a transportation slide to fly them back to earth."Please present the evidence that dark matter can be used as a transporter.And only Creationists claim that life "poofed into existence.Finally, how life originated is irrelevant to the fact of Evolution or the Theory of Evolution.

I'm sorry but once again your posts are just trying to palm the pea, misrepresent what I have said and as usual, con the audience.I have not asked you to explain how God "Poofed" stuff into existence, I asked you what your wittle god used to direct the evolution of life, was it wittle tweezers and screwdrivers?Nor do Evolutionists think life came into existence through "luck".

What is the model for how your creator critter controls evolution? Edited by AdminModulous, : some content hidden, press 'peek' to see it.

But apes have ventured into space. In fact apes from many countries have ventured into space.

Of course I can. I can even give you the names of some animals that have built automaton, as well as the names of apes that have gone into space.Edited by jar, : fix subtitle

The automatons were all created by human animals and yes, all the apes that ventured into space went of their own volition. Many even wrote about their experiences after they got back.

Of course humans are apes. They are also animals.

I'm sorry but what makes you think only one type of animal develop the ability to reason or one type of animal can decide how to live its life?Those are both really silly assertions, pitiful actually, in addition to being fallacious and irrelevant.There is ample evidence that Gorillas, Bonobos, Chimpanzees, Orangutans, Ravens, Crows, Mockingbirds, Beaver, Elephant, Dolphin as well as other critters have the ability to reason and decide how to live their lives.But as I pointed out above, it is also irrelevant to the topic. There is a human ape alive today.

No, I am saying that humans are apes. I am one of the Great Apes. You are one of the Great Apes. All humans are Primates.In this very thread there are examples of ravens reasoning and building tools. Have you read the thread?
