WHAT THE FUCK IS THIS BLOKE ON ABOUT

Im sorry but are you really saying you cant see the similarities between Gorillas and black africans (not being racist just stating fact)

How can you possibly find it more believable that some magical ghosty clicked his fingers and created everything?

I assume you have read the bible. Please tell me if there any evidence that supports even 1 page of it.

How can you not believe in evolution when we have solid proof of step by step changes of fish to lizards to dinosaurs to birds?

Im baffled honestly.

Sounds pretty racist nonetheless and everything else than based on fact.

Are you then also saying you dont see the similarities between humans and apes??

Should I have said 'apes and white straight men' so as not to offend anyone.

I did not intend to be racist as I said.

Thing is if God wanted everyone to believe and have faith, he wouldnt have created us with logic and reason.

No, I am saying I can't see how Black people look so much more like apes than other people. They are as near or far away from our common ancestor of humans and modern apes, as other people.

The black skin has to do with climate in first line, not with being still looking more like apes.


Having that said, I doubt no second that we humans and modern apes have common ancestors and the DNA proves this also pretty well.

Wider noses
Bigger lips
Similar colouring
Black Hair

Thats why

Stop trying to turn this into some kinda racist arguement, im saying that humans are obviously decendants of apes.

@ atheist-woody, wide-noses evolved in not only the African population but amongst many south-eastern Europeans as well. This is likely due to needing larger sinus cavities from running in the heat. But there are black people with thin noses and smaller lips - you should really leave the big generalizations out of your attempt at a science-related argument.

As Slarti pointed out, darker skin in any human population is an adaptation to climate (hotter and more sunny climates necesitate more melanin). It has nothing to do with looking like apes.

OK can I please clarify something. I said that their characteristics make them look more similar to apes than white westerners. I didnt say they are less evolved or anything just that they look more similar.

Besides during your arguement against me you actually helped me by saying "noses evolved in not only the African population but amongst many south-eastern Europeans as well. This is likely due to needing larger sinus cavities from running in the heat"

So they evolved this way, so thats settled then, it wasnt god.
