Why are there no human apes alive today?

Buddha is a probable no. I consider his historicity to be similar to that of Jesus. Compare Buddha to Alexander the Great who is of roughly the same time period. We have tons of historical evidence and artifacts for Alexander, nothing for Buddha. Also, Buddah is not the fat guy most Americans think of as Buddha. That is Budai

​

Muhammad is also questionable for the same reasons I question the historicity of Jesus. There are no contemporary accounts. There seems to be a bloodline from Muhammad but this is attributed to tradition not actual historical sources.

​

Confucius is most probably not a historical character. There is actually some recent scholarship that suggests Confucius was a creation of Jesuit missionaries.
Confucius and the Scholars

Unless I see actual historical evidence I am skeptical of the historical existence of these figures. I am also skeptical of the historical existence of Jesus.

Thats interesting that the founders of major religions did not exist. Im not sure if its because that didnt exist or because people dont want them to exist. Ill stop now so I dont take the thread offtopic.

Well I wanted to answer your post. Im not interested in starting a new thread.

I think one of the points Mazzy is trying to make is that if neanderthal or homo erectus are fully human. Not half human, not caveman, not apeman, not transitional fossil, then why are they proclaimed as links between humans and apes. Anatomist Rudolf Virchow said that neanderthal were human in every respect, some appearing to be suffering from rickets or arthritis. Paleoanthropologist Erik Trinkaus said "Detailed comparisons of Neandertal skeletal remains with those of modern humans have shown that there is nothing in neanderthal anatomy that conclusively indicates locomotor, manipulative, intellectual or linguistic abilities inferior to those of modern humans."Edited by Portillo, : No reason given.Edited by Portillo, : No reason given.

Also think how Mazzy must feel going it alone against several evolutionists with none of them conceding any of her points. You're not the only one experiencing feelings of frustration.

Thats a great point. And lets not forget that this is a Creation vs Evolution forum. Not just an evolution forum!Edited by Portillo, : No reason given.
