it isn't in our nature to think of a God, it is in our nature to seek answers and the concept of God is most influenced in this world.

Such as that we share a common ancestor with apes.

Your screen name is Alpha Male, and you doubt you share a common ancestor with apes?

I don't doubt that we dig and find fossils. I do doubt some of the inferences drawn from those fossils.

So you have no compelling argument for why man is not descended from a common ancestor with apes, just "I don't like it."

I see no compelling argument for the proposition.

I see no compelling argument for the proposition.

then how do you explain the alignment of genetic tree, how do you account for us and apes being closely alike?

this whole situation is like someone told you your dad is dead, a couple days later he comes to your house and he's standing right there. but you still believe he is dead.

really we aren't the ones who make an argument, the evidence shows us that we do have a connection with everything around us thus supporting Darwin's theory

Things that are designed and have similar appearance and functions will have similar blueprints.

ETA: BTW, why the switch from the fossil record to genetics? Not finding fossils all that compelling?
