INDEPENDENT CONSERVATIVE VOICE OF
UPSTATE SOUTH CAROLINA

Another major example of the use of propaganda by evolutionists is in the area of so-called human evolution. The claim used to be that we evolved from apes. It has long been claimed that we had a common ancestor with chimpanzees, that was a type of thing. Recent changes in these claims don't reflect actual research in biology and genetics but clear propaganda.

The claim is now being made that rather than evolving from apes, that we are apes. This is despite the fact that we walk upright but apes walk on all fours as knucklewalkers and are clumsy when they do walk on two legs. This claim that we are just a variety of ape goes along with the typical claim that our genes are 99% similar to that of chimpanzees despite the fact that this is not true even in the original paper, where the actual figure (98.5%) can be demonstrated to exclude 3% differences due to insertions and deletions and the approximately 25% that they could not easily compare. It ignores the fact that more recent studies indicate a maximum similarity of around 80%.

The point is that calling humans apes is nothing but 100% pure evolutionary propaganda and not science. Yet they claim that we are the ones who are science deniers, anti-science, or whatever other derogatory term they decide to use that day.
