    So you click like because you like the poster? Give me a break. I could say you're flat out being genuinely dishonest and of course be correct.
    I myself, and most others, IMO, will click like because they like what the Post says, not who posted it.

    It is debatable, but not many will fall on the side of being good substance behind it.
    Got it. Ok, lol. just your biased opinion, etc /sarcasm.

    Why not... it is one of the favorite tools of the non-theist... sarcasm, and ridicule... there is no TOS clause or rule prohibiting such opinionated comments. BTW: You are beginning to show an improvement in interpreting what I am saying.

    Where is the answer??
    Who and what is this Great Ape?
    What is the historical back ground why early scientist adapted the term "Great Ape" why not Great Primate, Great Human or Great what ever? What was the political, social, racial and scientific or theological history behind adapting the "Great Ape" term or theory?

    All I see are repeated troll response.

    In other words you don't know why don't you just say that you don't no the answers.
    and now you are saying that the Great Ape Theory is not a Theory? I guess if it is not a theory then all those scientist must be wrong because clearly they stated it is a theory.
    Or if it is not a theory then you should know the answer who is or what is this Great Ape?
    So you don't know the origin of creation, the origin of creation is the study and research of the origin of life and the universe it is to learn how God created everything the process behind it.

    Albert Einstein; I want to know how God created this world. I am not interested in this or that phenomenon, in the spectrum of this or that element. I want to know His thoughts; the rest are details.

    Humans are animals but humans are not apes and apes are not humans.
    Maybe you know the answer to this; Who and what is the Great Ape? What is the historical, social, political, racial, theological and scientific background why early scientist chose to use the term Great Ape why not Great Primate or Great Human? Do you think Great Primate would make more sense than Great Ape? And last but not the least what makes human unique and different from other primates?

    The hominidae family are apes, or the great apes to be more precise. Apes are not a single species but a family of species.

    ??? Great ape is a term describing several apes, not including lesser apes, not including non ape primates and not exclusively humans. Your question has been answered several times and in several ways.

    What is the great ape theory that you are talking about? Link up or explain it. I have no idea what you are talking about and neither does google.

    There is no proof of any creation. So the "origin of creation" is making an assumption. I think you are clumsily referring to abiogenesis or the origin of life, which really has little to do with whether humans are apes.

    Why would you think that the other poster was talking about a fairy tale?
    "
    a·bi·o·gen·e·sis (b--jn-ss)
    n.
    The supposed development of living organisms from nonliving matter. Also called autogenesis, spontaneous generation."

    I should not have used abiogenesis.

    However, the "origin of creation" is loaded with a faulty assumption. The origin of life is not. Those with the supernatural or fairytale beliefs in a creator have shortcutted the search for answers with the pretense of knowledge. i.e., faith, while scientist are still searching for answers.

    Still, this has nothing really to do with whether humans are apes.
