Are scientists any closer

[YoursTrue]

Are scientists any closer to figuring out, since Darwin's theory was expounded, what is that proposed unknown common ancestor of gorillas, chimpanzees and humans? With all those bones and dna findings, still no certain common ancestor?

Yes, of course they have ... google "Evolutionary tree of life" and follow it backwards

What about some googling? Or do you really just mean "I don't accept evolution as it goes against my religious beliefs."

Right. So you're saying the common ancestor is??? Dirt? Clay? Bacteria? Help out here, please, in a few words. Thanks. Don't be shy, say what you think about the now known as you indicate, or perhaps unknown common ancestor between specifically gorillas and humans...you know, what scientists have found out.

God is the father of all. Thus, He is the common ancestor.

It would be an animal of the same familly as Sahelanthropus tchadensis if not that very specimen itself. That's not possible to know for sure since we don't have DNA of that specific animal though it would be a close match due to its anatomical feature and the timeline. There are probably dozens of species of hominini and hybrids that lived over hundreds of thousands of years that are common ancestors/cousins of both gorillas and humans.

No, I thought 'dirt' was the Bible's explanation.

Are you incapable of googling?
First hit for me said "We do share a common ape ancestor with chimpanzees. It lived between 8 and 6 million years ago. But humans and chimpanzees evolved differently from that same ancestor. All apes and monkeys share a more distant relative, which lived about 25 million years ago."

Look if you can't accept evolution, that's ok, it is your loss.
BUT don't try to mock something that you obviously don't understaand and know nothing about

Here (yet again) is a good article about the genetic evidence (that you've already totally ignored at least twice): Genesis and the Genome (pdf).

Yet again - it's pointless asking questions if you just ignore the answers and refuse to learn anything.

You know you're on a religion forum? And in the "Same Faith Debates" section for some reason too. If you have a science question, wouldn't it make sense to ask it on on a science forum?

ok.....call me stupid.....if you must
BUT

Genesis indicates a sudden change in the direction of Man

and you want to disagree?

 

[SigurdReginson]

Well, we keep finding corresponding evidence... Transitional fossils just aren't all that rare, it seems.

You didn't Google it, did you?

Maybe you could expound on your ideas more. What indication is there in genesis for the sudden change of man? How does this relate to archaeology and the fossil records?

Look it up

Pan as in peter pan (you know the one that can fly) or pan as in the god pan ( the one with the horns) or the ape pan as in I am an ape man?

Does not knowing it mean that it doesn't exist? Does it mean that theory falls apart?

It seems every fossil is transitional
