Hey Huntard,
Bertot pointed me to a debate between two people about "the existence of god".
Aside from the point that evolution has nothing to do with god ... I have some problems with your answers here:
This is the volution part, there is also a morality part.
4) Of the following statements, which one is true or false?
A woman was on earth before any human baby.
True.
A human baby was on earth before any woman.
False.
Now note, I'm talking about modern humans here. This wasn't clear from the question, and I certainly would've asked for clarification if I could.
At one point that woman was a baby, so what has she acquired since birth that makes her as a baby not human but her as an adult human. I would have them the other way around.
Or are we talking about the woman being 99% human (still a non-human ape) and the child being 100%?
6) Of the following statements, which one is true or false?
At least one human being now living on Earth formerly was an ape or some other non human being, and that ape was transformed into a human being.
False.
At least one human being that lived in the past but who is now dead was at one time an ape or some other non human being, and that ape was transformed into that human being.
False.
I would further like to say this is a ridiculous straw man.
Humans are apes. They don't stop being apes when they become human. The second case here is where you answered true for the woman above - is she wasn't human when born, then she became human afterwards.
7) Of the following statements, which one is true or false?
At least one human being now living on earth was begotten of a male ape, or some other non human male, and born of a female ape or some other non human female.
False.
At least one human being who lived in the past but is now dead was begotten of a male ape, or some other non human male, and born of a female ape or some other non human female.
This one's true. Note, I am again talking of modern humans.
Again we are back to the baby being born human (ape) from non-human ape, rather than the woman becoming human after birth.
Enjoy.
