Knowing from Scripture that God didn’t create any ape-men, there are only three ways for the evolutionist to create one: 1) Combining Men and Apes, 2) Making Man out of Apes, and 3) Making Apes out of Man.
Homology refers to features that are similar among different animals, especially bones or DNA. For example, you may have heard that chimp and human DNA are 95–99% similar, or that our skeletons closely resemble chimp skeletons. Some people attempt to explain these similarities with evolutionary ideas.
Many may believe that there is a wide array of fossil evidence that clearly shows how apes have become humans. You have probably seen the famous depiction of a monkey progressively turning into an upright human figure. But what evidence is there for this popular picture?
In an effort to fill the gap between apes and men, certain fossil men have been declared to be “ape-like” and, thus, ancestral to, at least, “modern” man. The best known human fossils are of Cro-Magnon man and Neandertal man. Both are true men.
If you just connect all the dots, isn’t it easy to see how the first humans could evolve from a shared ancestor with the apes?
No matter how hard they try, scientists can’t connect the missing links in human evolution. Why not?
Perhaps the most bitter pill to swallow for any Christian who attempts to “make peace” with Darwin is the presumed ape ancestry of man.

Despite phenomenal fossil failure, faith in evolution remains unbounded.
Researchers believe the 8-million-year age assigned to some gorilla teeth pushes back the time for the divergence of gorillas from the line that led to humans.
The Naledi skeletons in South Africa, whose discovery was announced last September, represent the latest species declared to be a likely human relative.
Who is the latest claimant to the title “oldest known human in the fossil record”?
Evolutionists welcome the new australopithecine jaws to the “hominin” family. But do we learn anything at all about human history from these fossils?
The effort to fill in the gaps between apelike ancestors and modern humans continues to produce some interesting stories.
A good laugh can really make a lesson stick, as Dr. David Menton regularly demonstrates in his popular workshop “Three Ways to Make an Ape-Man.”
Flexible feet supposedly link humans with ape-like ancestors.
Environmentally driven changes in diet are said to have driven evolution of humans.
Bowel bug type tied to common ape-like ancestry.
Psychologists say observations of chimpanzee and orangutan behavior in zoos support the primates’ evolutionary relationship to people.
Transitional tale told by toes (and metatarsals) is full of sound and fury, signifying nothing.
Promethean hypothesis picks up steam from residual cooking fire.
Are we human because we learned to walk on our own two feet . . . or do we walk upright because we’re human?
Sugary sialic acid signatures seen as evolutionary segregators of early humans
Does the developing human brain portray the evolution of humans from ape-like creatures?
An exhibit to be installed this summer at the Creation Museum near Cincinnati tackles one of the icons of evolutionary thinking: homology.
This week, American public broadcasting began a three-part series on human evolution titled Becoming Human.
“This model should cause everyone to re-evaluate what they’ve said before”—the words of a Duke University professor whose research turns the origins of bipedal walking on its head.
The paleontologist who brought Ida to the media spotlight dropped a cool $750,000 (£465,000) to get his hands on it.
You have probably seen the famous depiction of a monkey progressively turning into an upright human figure.
TIME magazine’s cover story this week asked the question, “What Makes us Different?”
Whether it is a new dinosaur skeleton, a new fossil hominid or alleged genetic links between different species, evolution is frequently in the media.
Excitement over the latest (and allegedly greatest) find in the ‘tree of human evolution’ may end up with more embarrassment than anything else for evolutionists.
The evolutionist’s notion that man evolved by chance from ape-like creatures is largely based upon certain anatomical similarities between apes and men.
Anyone who has ever watched the monkeys and apes at a zoo, couldn’t help but notice their resemblance to humans.
The bitterest pill to swallow for any Christian who attempts to “make peace” with Darwin is the presumed animal ancestry of man.
It is surely no coincidence that Time publishes such a ‘showcase’ article for human evolution at this time of public interest in the creation/evolution issue and what our children should be learning
This article gives information on ape-men once used as transitional forms, and information on those that are currently being contested.
This sort of thing just keeps on happening, but there are never headlines which shout ‘Missing Link Claim Debunked’.
An interesting change is taking place in creationist circles in respect of the status of the taxon Homo erectus and its relationship to Homo sapiens sapiens.
Most people believe the fossil record does support evolution because they are told this by others who confuse wishful thinking with facts.
Answers in Genesis is an apologetics ministry, dedicated to helping Christians defend their faith and proclaim the good news of Jesus Christ.
