both
Modern apes and humans evolved from a common ancestor.
That ancestor was also an ape.
And humans are apes too.
"Ape" just means hominid.

Re: the evolution image
And most evolutionary biologists won't object because it serves the objective of excluding a designer.
Excluding a designer is not the objective.
They only follow where the evidence leads them.

Re: the evolution image
They are not not personally involving themselves in the public understanding of science.???????????? What cave are you in?????
How many evolutionary biologists can you even name off of the top of your head?
No, they are not personally involving themselves in the public understanding of science. They probably spend their time in the lab, working, and involving themselves in the scientific understanding of science.
Good day gentlemen, I cannot sit here all day and bow to your semantic demands. We are not sharing the same rule book.

Re: No Purpose
The folks in here ONLY want to play chess. So I come in here with my checkers, and I say, HEY! look, our boards have something in common!
They are so focused on the differences - my board has black and red in it, and theirs is black and white... that they cannot open their minds for a split second moment and see the commonalities.
There really are no truly open and changeable minds in here and I'm including myself. And I cannot satisfy the questions asked of me, any more than they can satisfy mine.
I think you're right.
And if you don't want to "play chess" then this probably isn't the site for you.
The veterans realize that minds don't get changed within the arguments, people are trying to not be wrong. But don't forget that there's lurkers who are reading too. They might be learning something from you.
