How We Became Human?

If anyone’s seen the cover of Time magazine his week (October 9,2006), I’m hoping you are annoyed as I am. The front cover has a picture of a baby and an ape and the headline is, “HOW WE BECAME HUMAN.” This pisses me off. I do not think we are in any way related to chimps, apes, and gorillas, whatever you want to call them. Now, I’m no scientist, but I’m smart enough to realize that we did not evolve from an ape. Maybe it’s my belief that God created us in His image, not by allowing us to evolve from apes but I think this whole theory is absurd! 

The article states that humans and chimps share almost 99% of our genes. The article questions how “we can be so alike-and yet so different.” I’ll tell you how we’re different! People walk, talk, have feelings, emotions, we have SOULS. No scientist can prove that a freaking chimp has a soul. Some may argue that apes walk, talk, communicate and have feelings, but all animals have some form of communication with their species, they all have some mode of transportation, and are happy or sad. But have you seen a chimp lately? They also pee themselves, swing from trees, and eat bugs off of each other. Yes, there are some pretty stupid human beings out there, but I’d say over all, humans don’t do any of those things. 

My favorite was the picture in the article that was half man, half-ape. We look nothing alike! Apes have protruding foreheads, wrinkly under eye areas, small half-round ears, ugly noses, and hair almost completely covers them! Last time I looked at a human, it looked, well, HUMAN.
