Christians - the evolution of chimps!?

http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20071203/ap_on_sc/chimp...

This is very interesting considering many Christians see no proof of evolution, yet somehow these Chimps have a better memory than college students. If they are lower than us, shouldn't their memory be inferior as well?

Why would god give a chimp the ability to memorize things?

    They'll never "bite" on this one.

    We know we evolved, even if they deny it.

    That article was one test against 9 students...that is far from scientific proof that chimps have an equal or superior memory to humans....and you failed to mention the other tests in which the chimp did not perform better than the college students....

    Why not? How could any animal survive without being able to remember at least some things?

    I want to see chimps start building hospitals for themselves and sitting down to discuss morals and ethics.

    Besides, they used college kids, and we all know college kids these days destroy their brains with alcohol and drugs. ;)

    There have also been studies that show birds to be just as intelligent, and evolutionists don't believe birds are our close evolutionary ancestors. Here is just one example:

    Well, there you have it. Chimps have always been smarter then humans.

    Btw, animals, in general, are far smarter then humans. Humans are the dumbest animal that ever lived, no doubt.

    Animals have instincts that are far superior to humans.

    Example: an animal will run at the first sign of danger, a human will stand there dumbfounded.

    'Why would god give a chimp the ability to memorize things?'

    Why not?

    Are the college students coming out of Evergreen State? Not there is anything wrong with that, but I have to say the heavy consentrations of THC on campus may have something to do with it.

    High, uhh, high...5! (I forgot for a second there)

    --------------------

    Edit - not due to the THC thing (oh dear, that doesn't look very good)

    Catholics are the 1st Christians. The Catholic CHurch has stated that it accepts the approach of evolution different than in that people have been created one by one from animals interior the backyard of Eden.
