1. Millions of years of divergent evolution...
from a distant common ancestor.

3. You've convinced me
That is the argument for Creation. Evolution is bullshit...

7. Do they actually try and use that as an argument?
I have always thought that it was just a common misconception that was perpetuated by people that don't know how evolution worked. You know, the ones that are always saying that we evolved from apes, or fish, or monkeys...:shrug:

5. Because the smarter apes saw what was happening
and said, "Nuh-UH! We ain't goin' there!"

13. Sadly, Bob
Soon there WILL be no, Apes. They are slashing them to death, for jungle meat, as the jungle is cut down by, massive amounts, everyday. Sorry, to rain on the parade. There is going to be nothing left for any of the animals, except specialized game preserves. We will be hero's for keeping the species of other animals surviving. Saving whales. Good God, we will be lucky to find the diverse, South American Indians, and different, African Cultures, a game preserve. Reservations for all. God, I'm off on a rant. See what YOU started! :)
