Theoretically I'd say they did.

I do not believe apes are made in the image and likeness of God. If Apes are the ancestors of humans my answer would be no, according to my beliefs.

Thunder, why bring God into it? All those things you mentioned about consciousness are indeed extraordinary and puzzling... But how does God help you resolve anything about them?

Well, I don't know where to begin, I went from having no conscience, getting out of jail for the 13th time, being addicted to drugs, suicidal, living my life for my next CD, next cigarette, next drink, next gram of meth, next crack rock, next bottle of cough syrup, next play boy magazine and complete selfishness and immaturity.

THen I realized, before I kill myself why don't I give this God shit a try. WHat the fuck do I have to lose. I've got nothing, on probation, mentally ill, poor as hell, terrible work ethic, criminal history....Damn...I'm fucked!

So, to make a long story short...I began to pray...then....I began to change...

THE ENDAngel

Not if they aren't in the image and likeness of God
Not if they aren't man or women (Human)

@Thunder Cunt,
Do you think any particular concept of God that you accepted is directly responsible for the change? And what, if any, difference would it make to you now if you were to discover that it was little more than a helpful illusion at the time?

All homo sapiens are made in the image and likeness of God. THere are aboriginals that have very different skeletal makeup and skulls and dont stand very tall and live primitively but they are still human.

Critics of the claim for species status continue to believe that these individuals are Homo sapiens possessing pathologies of anatomy and physiology
