Talking Something else that has to be shared.

"Tgamble, I could hardly believe my eyes when I saw the picture you posted of Lucy. Thanks! It is interesting viewing. I'm no expert, but gee whiz! Tgamble, it looks like it could be a chimpanzee or some type of ape. Apes are very similar to us. I remember I visited a zoo and a huge gorilla was there. There was glass between him and us, so we were able to get very close, I mean right next to him, so I did so I could really study him.

I noticed he had toenails exactly like ours and of course his hands were just like ours also. It was uncanny. He actually seemed to be thinking about something, he had his head a little tilted as he looked at his own feet. I kid you not, this gorilla looked human. He looked like a very large, overweight hairy, very unattractive man.

Now, if he died and his body decayed leaving his bones, I do not doubt that he would look human still and without his flesh, it would be very easy to think he is human.

I will not suddenly say, yes evolution is real, but with all the apes, gorilllas and monkeys, orangatan,etc we have, then it is very likely the fossils are all some type of ape or gorilla. How can I dismiss that possibility? I cannot dismiss it, but it must be considered that all these fossils are nothing more than apes.

I hope you understand how I must see it.

Don't get upset for the way I see it, but it seems to me that evolutionists desperately want to be descended from apes."

No shit; he looks at a chimp or orang and notices the similarities with H. sapiens. I wonder why that could be? It couldn't be because we share a common ancesotor, could it? Naah...the bible would tell us if that were so.
