Crowds go ape over ‘humans’ zoo exhibit

What do you think? I think it's pretty cool. People need to be reminded we are apes.

PS. I do NOT get this forum layout. it makes no sense.

I think this news story proves that children are much smarter than evolutionists. As the link says, the children at the zoo could be heard asking about people in a cage: “Why are there people in there?”

Notice from the photo that the caged people are acting as evolutionists expect them to act (like monkeys).

no, it proves stupid ignorant parents teach their children we are not animals, and it proves children are ignorant. and so are you. It also proves how egotistical, narrowminded, and self-centered people are.

No matter what you believe about evolution or whatever, we are apes. It's basic taxonomy. Opposable thumbs, omnivores, no tail, etc.
If you believe humans were created by god, I don't care, because if that's true then all species are created by god and if humans aren't apes then no classification is possible.

Are the caged people mimicking the grooming habits of monkeys or apes?

ape
n.

1a. Any of various large, tailless Old World primates of the family Pongidae, including the chimpanzee, gorilla, gibbon, and orangutan.
1b. A monkey.
2. A mimic or imitator.
3. Informal. A clumsy or boorish person.

I guess you are an ape.

apes also groom each other. Heck, HUMANS groom each other. You're just so narrowminded you see no difference between apes and monkeys.

and you show your ignorance again... dictionaries' definitions of scientific terms are BULLSHIT.
try wikipedia- http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ape
Quote:

Apes are the members of the Hominoidea superfamily of primates, including humans. Currently, there are two families of hominoids:
the family Hylobatidae consists of 12 species of gibbons, including the Lar and the Siamang, collectively known as the "lesser apes"
the family Hominidae consisting of gorillas, chimpanzees, orangutans, and humans, collectively known as the "great apes".

Quote:
Within this group, both families of apes can be distinguished from these monkeys

meaning they're not monkeys

or look at it's definition for "human"
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Human
Quote:

a bipedal primate belonging to the superfamily of Hominoidea, with all of the apes: chimpanzees, gorillas, orangutans, and gibbons.


no (good) scientist will tell you we are not apes.
wikipedia-monky
Quote:
Because of their similarity to monkeys, apes such as chimpanzees and gibbons are sometimes incorrectly called monkeys.

Just as mathematicians have every right to define the word physics differently than physicists, I see no reason why scholars who believe in a Divine Being can't define ape differently than atheists. Although I concede it's appropriate to define the class of monkey as belonging in the category of ape, I'm not going to agree that human beings are apes.

That's bullshit. You can't redefine scientific words just because you're not a scientist.
What makes us different from apes then?

It isn't reality's job to satisfy our egos. -endparenthesis (from another forum)

Mathematicians are capable of doing anything they like. There is no scientific necessity to label humankind as apes.

If you don't know the difference between yourself and a shaved monkey, chimpanzee, orangutan or gorilla, what can I say?

oh yes mathematicians are gods.
Yes there IS a scientific necessity to recognize humans are apes.
and obviously you still can't comprehend the simple fact that monkeys and apes are not the same thing. How many times do I have to tell you that?
Ok mr. god, why AREN'T we apes?

Mathematicians are not gods. Generally however, mathematicians are superbeings fully cognizant of the arbitrariness of a definition whereas lower forms of life don't seem able to perceive the subtlety of pure logic.

It's an undeniable fact that some individuals are highly evolved compared to most humans and all humans of extremely low rank. It is then logical to admit the existence of superbeings.

I have no argument against those who claim to be apes. No rule in linguistics forbids it. Science is largely a matter of definitions. The existence of subhumans is an undeniable, empirical fact.

I'm very amused that you see yourself in the category of chimpanzees, orangutans and gorillas. It seems that you take great pride in being a great ape, especially in those moments when you reveal how greatly offended you are to the label of being called a monkey.

Let's be fair. In form and function, apes are closer to monkeys than to humans.

you seem to think you're god.
logic? LOGIC? HA HA HA HA HA!!!! that's beyond ridiculous. you have no common sense.
Do you have an argument to those who claim YOU are an ape?
What annoys me is you not comprehending the simple fact that monkeys and apes are two different things.
in form and function, apes are apes, and humans are apes.
you just talk and talk without really saying anything. You don't support anything you say, you just talk... blah blah blah.

What annoys you is pointed, inescapable truth. Chimpanzees, orangutans and gorillas are closer to monkeys than to humans. This is obvious.

Shakespeare wrote:
What a piece of work is man!
How noble in reason! How infinite in faculty!
In form and moving, how express and admirable!
In action, how like an angel! In apprehension, how like a god!
The beauty of the world,—the paragon of animals!

Moses wrote:
God made the wild animals according to their kinds, the livestock according to their kinds, and all the creatures that move along the ground according to their kinds. And God saw that it was good.

Then God said, "Let us make man in our image, in our likeness, and let them rule over the fish of the sea and the birds of the air, over the livestock, over all the earth, and over all the creatures that move along the ground."

So God created man in his own image, in the image of God he created him; male and female he created them. Genesis 1:25-27.
