Atheists, why do you claim that your ancestors were apes, isn't that a humiliating and degrading thing to say about yourselves?

Seriously? That claim has been proven many times by many scientists. This isn’t degrading anything because monkeys are the smartest animals.

You have no idea what you re talking about - why do you yak about stuff about which you are clueless? It must be a religious thing - spouting crap about things you don t understand...

I do not make such a claim. I say humans and apes have common ancestors. It is more humiliating to say I was made from dirt or rib. It is quite humiliating and degrading to believe in such extremely bad fiction of the Bible and its barbaric deity.

Humans are members of the great apes family... that's just a fact. So of course, it isn't degrading. And honestly, I don't see how you can think being made of dirt is somehow any better.

Do you find it humiliating and degrading to be called a mammal? Or a homo sapien? We ARE apes. Great Apes. It's a zoological classification and if you knew anything about science you'd realize it wasn't insulting at all.

I personally don’t believe in that theory, but it’s not humiliating or degrading. Apes are actually really smart and perhaps even smarter than most humans I know.

Why do you think man came from a pile of dirt on the ground? Isn’t that completely infantile even for a person who would ask childish garbage like this?

Possibly, but we all evolved from swamp mold.

Says the christer that worships a magical jew, that was magically born from a magic virgin, that has an invisible dad that performs magic and lives in the clouds. Anything intelligent or factual to offer, kid ?

I've never claimed that. Isn't it humiliating to claim your psycho god exists?
