Where can I read about a fossil that conclusively proves without a shadow of doubt that it is of a creature that was part ape and part human?
Originally posted by jaywillNot all evangalicals reject the notion of "ape-men". For example, in Genesis it says that God both created and formed man. This could mean that he slowly formed man from the dust of the earth over time via an evolutionary process and then breathed life in him once his creation was perfected. Once God breathed into Adam, man became what we know him to be today.

You can't find such a fossil.
The process of human evolution takes place very gradually over 5+ million years:

There could be other reasons why a wise Creator would make animals similar looking to a human. If God wanted to cultivate an appreciation within man that he is almost but not quite like any other animal He might make some close to man but not the same.
So human are placed at the top of a pinnacle of creatures more and more like him yet not arriving at h ...[text shortened]...
It is marvelous how God does not violate our will in deciding which we would rather believe.

It's a far better rational then imagining millions of years of accidents turning lifeless gravel into a thinking, arguing and reasoning brain.
Originally posted by jaywillThe United States doesn't. That's why there's Home Schooling.
Do some human governments mandate the that all children in thier society be indoctrinated to believe we are have an relationship of descent with apes?
Do some government sanction only evolutionary descent of human beings from ape like progenitors?
I wonder if some countries need a constitutional philosophy of the seperation of Ape and State.
