It is quite incredible to claim that mankind was created from dirt and a woman made from a rib, or even that a god of some description poofed things into existence through supernatural means.
So why is it that human apes (as you call them, more or less), wear clothing for the most part, but ape-apes do not? What happened? Something must have intervened somewhere. There is a distinct marking there, regardless of any proof you claim to support your contention in reference to apes and humans. From shrimp to human apes. OK.
Apes hang nicely from trees, humans generally do not.
If you read that the writing on the pottery is similar to several texts, it is not an inscription from the Bible. It only shows that they could write back then. It does not support the claim of an old.Bible at all. But if you read It it does support my claim of the oldest part of the Bible being from the sixth century BCE.

That is because man invented clothing. It is a very minor difference and not a biological difference.So why is it that human apes (as you call them, more or less), wear clothing for the most part, but ape-apes do not? What happened?

Why not ask someone with some expertise on the subject if you’re really that curious? Honestly it’s like trying to ask a mathematics teacher about the literary merit of Homer’s Odyssey.
I Saw that. Your article supports my claim, it only says that it was possible for the Bible to have been written earlier.
so what? That only tells us that the language is older. It says nothing about the age of the Bible. The Lord of the Rings could have been written in the 1500's since English existed as a language then. That does not mean it was written then.
As I said, when I went to high school and took biology there, the main thrust was evolution. \I was an honor student. I say this because I studied, and did well on the tests. I received scholarships, but my main interest was not biology. However, I read what I can in many areas. I did not know, believe, or understand that Bible at the time. While it seems astounding that man was created from the dust, or the earth, it seems reasonable to me at this point. I was not there when God made the heavens and the earth, so I cannot say exactly how He did it. I did not see Him do it. I accept the Bible's description of the first woman. Anyway, humans had to come (male AND female) from somewhere. They are too much not alike but alike at the same time to have come about at the very same time. One amazingly needs the other to reproduce. It can't be done between ape and humans. When I think of the human heart, that it beats without being plugged into something, that in itself is enough to convince me that life such as that did not evolve, but was made by a higher power with design. Religion has been confusing people for millenia. That does not mean that God is not the Creator.
Humans are classified as a subspecies of ape. Meaning they ARE apes.
I never heard the argument that Hebrew is a young language. I think you may be moderating the arguments.
Which brings up another point about
You know I don't think the teacher said humans are apes. But that they came from apes. The pictures themselves show man as he was emerging from apes. Apes still stayed apes, and humans became humans and stayed that way, insofar as I remember the teaching. Basic facts are, nevertheless, that apes do not give birth to humans, no matter you want to call humans apes.
Chimps cannot breed with gorillas or orangutans. Your breeding argument fails. We share a common ancestor with other apes. Chimps and humans are more closely related to each other than either is to gorillas, our next closest relative.
You should have kept reading. That is n longer accepted.
Yes, evolution in schools is often taught incorrectly, especially anything that is lower than a college level class.
