If I add a creator use a similar respiratory system for all air breathing animals... that does not mean I used evolution to create those animals. If I use 99.9 percent of the same material to build all of my animals... still does not prove or mean that I used evolution to build them. That's just not hard to understand. Sure it can look like I did but it doesn't mean that I did. On the other hand if there was nothing then I made something... that does prove intelligent design 100%.

Total and complete Hogwash on the transitory fossils claim

[@junacebedo888]

How can one disprove a non-event or an event that did not happened? You BELIEVE apes became humans? Well, prove it!!

@Andre Smith Darwin did

We are apes

[@zimbabwe_twinnedwithanfield]

@Andre Smith the standard model of evolution states that through trillions of mutations we did come from apes.. however you can not add information in the genome via mutations, they destroy the information needed to create new features.

[@zimbabwe_twinnedwithanfield]

@@hahmed6209 i highly doubt we are apes. what evidence would you use to show that we are apes. humans are far more complex and different to even be considered apes.

[@mutilatedjak]

@@zimbabwe_twinnedwithanfield ...shared ERVs. Any trait you ascribe to humans you can find in other close apes.

So the Hindu, Swampass, laments how hard it is to disprove something that actually happened. Maybe that's why it's hard to disprove, Swampass.

So do you claim ape ancestry on your mother or father’s side? 🤔

[@albertomartinez714]

@@vinnyv949 Both. Same as you, genius

[@vinnyv949]

@@albertomartinez714 no I’m not obtuse enough to claim simian ancestry. I’ll pray for your conversion.

He is not a Hindu. Why must your folk always disparage people?
