Comparison Of Man With Apes
COMPARISON OF MAN WITH APES
Here we list a few comparisons of man and ape to show how felonious it is to assume a line of descent that never occurred. Apes and monkeys were a direct result of creation, just as man.
Apes have long arms, men have short arms.
Men have chins, apes have none.
Apes have massive canine teeth and men do not.
Apes cannot oppose the thumb to the fingers, men can. Lacking this, no ape could be a competent tool-user.
Female humans have a membrane, hymen, which female apes do not.
Human males lack a bone, baculum, which male apes have. A human child after birth is greatly changed in leg length and its skull will not calcify for some time. This is not so with the ape. The ape's brain is different from man's, as it lacks the vital "broca" (speech) area. The chimpanzee, adapted to aboreal life, can grasp a branch and suspend its weight for more than a minute, even before it is a month old. This is utterly impossible for a human baby.
Apes and monkeys spend a great part of their time in trees and rarely descend to the ground.
Humans are earthly beings (Genesis 2:7) and live their lives on the earth.
Men live in houses, apes live in crudely constructed nests.
Apes have fur, men wear clothes.
Apes neither cry nor laugh, humans do both.
Apes live mostly on leaves, buds, and fruits. Man has, and needs, a meat diet. (Genesis 9:2-3) The hind foot of an ape has a long thumb that is opposable, enabling him to grasp a tree limb. Man's foot has toes so he can walk upright, not grasp tree limbs. The foot of a man and ape differ radically, it is actually awkward for an ape to walk upright, but with man it is natural.

Man has the ability to reason, apes cannot.
Man has a moral concept, apes do not.
Man alone worships God and lives eternally. Animals do not worship God, life ceases at death. A great deal of attention lately has been focused on the supposed similarities of chimpanzees (which is classified as a member of the great ape family) and humans, even to the point that evolutionists claim a 98-99% similarity. We find that the whole genomes have never been compared, only the hand selected regions that appear to be similar, once again providing the evolutionist with the biased result they wish to claim. And one evolutionary study says it may be as low as 86%, or less. In Acts 17:26 we find an interesting verse,
"And (God) hath made of one blood all nations of men for to dwell on all the face of the earth, and hath determined the times before appointed, and the bounds of their habitation."
God tells us, in the above verse, that all men have the same blood. This means that blood from all races and ethnic backgrounds can be exchanged, as long as it is the correct blood type.. No matter what a man's race is, when in need of a transfusion, he can receive it from any other human, regardless of race. I challenge the evolutionist, when he is in need of a transfusion, TO GET HIS BLOOD FROM THE APE! Needless to say, the results of such folly would be fatal.
CROSS-SPECIES BLOOD TRANSFUSION Jane Goodall and Chimpanzee Blood
Jane Goodall is an avid proponent of evolution, having begun her study of chimpanzees in Gombe Stream Chimpanzee Reserve at the urging of Louis Leakey. She worked with him at the Olduvai Gorge as his assistant and secretary. Along with Dian Fossey, famous for living with gorillas, and Birute Galdikas, who studied orangutans, Goodall was one of three women dubbed "Leakey's Angels". (Gorillas, chimpanzees, and orangutans are all classified as great apes.) The reason for mentioning Jane Goodall in this book is that she stated on at least three different occasions, that she believes a human could receive a blood transfusion from a chimpanzee, since "there was only 1% difference in the DNA. An irresponsible remark, to say the least. (Documentation follows the paragraph).

"You could get a blood transfusion from a chimp if you match the blood group." is a statement by Jane Goodall found in Reverence for Life Revisited, Albert Schweitzer's Relevance Today, Edited by David Ives and David A. Valone.
Jane Goodall was also responsible for the inclusion of both chimpanzee species, and the gorilla, as Hominids. What is a Hominid? A primate (monkey type) of the family Hominidae, of which Homo sapiens (man) is the only extant (living) species. In the past the rest were supposed to be fossils. With the inclusion of living chimpanzees and monkeys, evolutionists feel this is greater proof of their false, godless beliefs. As Jane is fond of saying, "They are so like us." An evolutionist to the core! The Dangers of Following Evolutionist Jane's Advice. The following is a statement made by Jonathan S. Allan, D.V.M. He is a scientist in the Department of Virology and Immunology, Southwest Foundation for Biomedical Research, San Antonio, Texas.
"We have had ample historical warnings of the dangers associated with animal-to-human zoonoses (A disease of animals which can be transmitted to humans, many yet unknown.) yet we continually ignore these signals. Isn't it ironic that the most notorious infectious disease known to humankind appears to have arisen through inadvertent transmission from an African nonhuman primate. Yet there are those who now want to use tissues from African monkeys in an attempt to cure AIDS, in my opinion, without sufficient forethought as to the consequences and risk to the human population of such procedures."
"However, xenotransplantion is often an extremely dangerous type of transplant because of the increased risk of non-compatibility, rejection, and disease carried in the tissue." (Same source).
Inter-species blood transfusions are a form of xenograft, or xenotransplantation, a process whereby you exchange tissue or blood products from one species to another; i.e., chimpanzees to humans. Animal blood contains a number of antigens and antibodies which would be instantly attacked by a human's immune system. Even primates with a supposed "only 1 percent genetic difference," from humans still have too many factors to make interspecies blood transfusions possible."
I hope no one who believes in evolution will accept my challenge and receive a transfusion from an ape! I say again, the results of such folly would be fatal.
