Question: What is the issue with Creation!? If an Ape was a Man, isn't it STILL a man!?
Why do we need to have such conflict!. Isn't Science and Theology the same in most ways, like prove each other!?Www@QuestionHome@Com


Best Answer - Chosen by Asker:
The orginial question and the background of Darwins evolutionary theory was that all the species were thought to be created apart!. There was obviously no way of one species turning into another!. Darwin tried -rather successfully- to prove that this DID happen and that the species were all related!.

Of course many christians don't see the Genesis-story as an historical story anymore and don't have difficulties with evolution!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

Man was an Ape (Apelike creature)
!.!.!.In a sense,
Man was also a ratlike creature
Man was also a reptilian creature
Man was also a very simple multicellular organism!.

Theology doesn't quite agree with Man being any less than one rung below God!. Basically it's God > Man > sentient intelligent animals > sentient animals > non-sentient animals > inanimate objects!.

It's organized!. It's been that way for millennia, so it's very hard to change!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

science and theology are basically the exact opposite!. Theology has sacred texts that cannot be questioned and depends on faith!.

Science is constantly accepting new data, overturning old ideas, and depends on evidence!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

Pride goeth before (precedes) a fall!. People prefer to believe they are the crown of creation and will judge angels over believing they are a monkey's uncle!. It's just ego!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

No, an ape is an ape!.!.!. A man is a man!.

A is A!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
