Exactly. Its evident in us as well, our appendixes are all but useless now; because we no longer live on a diet of plant material. And because of that over the last 1000 years our bodies have disabled its functionality, and its a mere waste of space now. Id say we're in the middle of evolving to remove it completely from our bodies, give us another 500 years or more (omg what? Yea sorry you don't just sprout adaptations and mutations in 10 seconds) and everyone will be naturally born without them.

OMG, the Bible stated that humans were once only vegetarians, so much so that the early Hebraic culture made this habitual (in order to remain "religiously" clean).

But even if we eat plant matter now, the appendix wont digest it because it simply no longer works thanks to our own evolution. I think you missed my point, i was just trying to get across that we are evolving, always have been and always will be.

...and? Are we not humans? And do we not eat, walk, and talk as humans?

Ummm you've completely lost me now, what point are you making if i may ask?

Edited by SSG ACM: 5/7/2015 4:45:04 AMWhether you compare an ape to a human via physical similarities or genetic difference, it is either a human or an ape, and of course (and I hope you respect our beliefs) we as Christians do indeed realize that the biological life on Earth was very different. Since the habits, diet, and longevity of humans were not only evident in scientific studies but also supported by the Bible repetitively.

Edited by Ordinal Prime: 5/7/2015 5:34:25 AMOf course i can and do respect your beliefs :) And you are certainly correct in saying: no matter the similarities between apes and humans, they are still two different things. However in my own opinion i've been led to believe that at some point thousands of years ago, the most humanoid apes and humans our selves, shared a common ancestor. And from that ancestor the two different species branched out over time (due to environment factors and pred/prey situations etc).
