We Are ‘Apes,‘

Atheist Richard Dawkins Tells Playboy: We Are ‘Apes,‘ Evidence for Jesus’ Existence ‘Is Surprisingly Shaky’ & Christ Dying for Humanity‘s Sins Is a ’Truly Disgusting Idea’

August 26, 2012

Famed atheist Richard Dawkins sat down with Playboy Magazine to discuss “the simple beauty of evolution, the improbability of God and why the pope should be arrested,” among other subjects. As usual, Dawkins took a provocative approach in the interview — one that people of faith will surely find offensive. These contentious anti-religious views appear in the September issue of Playboy.

The idea that we are on par with Apes is truly a disgusting idea.

Name ONE animal that has it's own spoken and written language.

What do you mean by "on par" with apes? It's a scientific fact that we are apes, deal with it.

Apes are classified as "Homo Sapiens" now?

No, Homo Sapiens are classified as Apes. Humans are apes, kind of like English is a germanic language, if that analogy helps.

I can understand how the religious right got upset reading that in Playboy.

Humans.
Yes we are an animal.
We are not divine, we are just at the top of the chain.
You cannot accept that you are an animal?

Even if you believe in God we are as or less than a dog or cat to him.

Afros have a written language. Granted, White people taught it to them.

Faith, Belief & Careing are key to Human Exceptionalism. Teaching, Faith, Complex Communication, Belief, Writing & Careing are what set us apart from Apes & make Humans lord of the jungle & top of the food chain. If you do not believe & have no faith, then Apes may be superior to you. Apes are better problem solvers than many Humans who refuse to believe others & learn from them.

You still don't buy that 'neanderthal to modern man' thing do you? Once again, we've upgraded, to the knowledge that modern man was alive and well and thriving right next to the Neanderthal camps. No evolution necessary.

Believing in evolution, or even being an atheist, does not require any anti-religious bigotry. Dawkins is just whoring himself out for attention.

Dawkins is going to have a rude awakening when he meets God.

Whether human beings are apes or not can easily be determined with a DNA test.

Whether human beings are apes or not can easily be determined with a DNA test.

Scientists have sequenced the genome of the chimpanzee and found that humans are 96 percent similar to the great ape species.

Chimps, Humans 96 Percent the Same, Gene Study Finds

In the first place, many mammals have a high degree of genetic similarity (Spetner, Not by Chance, page 69). For example, the cytochrome C of a dog is about 90 percent similar to that of a human, and the hemoglobin of a horse is about 88 percent similar to that of a human. In view of this, a 98 percent genetic similarity between apes and humans is not surprising. It is interesting that some sources put the difference between humans and apes much higher, as high as 10 percent. At least for one gene, human and chimpanzee alleles seem to differ by 13 base pairs out of 270, for a difference of about 5 percent. (See Science, 6 Jan. 1995, pp. 35-36.)

The Ape-Human Connection


For me the fact that there is a difference means we are not apes because the DNA does not exactly match. Mammals have similarities but that's as far as it goes. Apes are apes,Humans are Humans, being siimilar doesn't mean we are related.

Genetically, on this side of Afros, we're humans, not apes.
