Lets see what everyone says about This meme?
Evolution, the religion where one believes one's children more human, and one's parents more ape than oneself!

Humans are an animal species just like the rest, but rather more advanced, that is all, imo.

It is a typical so-called "Creationism" meme.

Which is to say, it relies on ignorance of science and, ironically enough, insults religion while attempting to insult science.

As others pointed out, humans are no less apes than any other apes. That is not an insult towards anyone, just an acknowledgement of biological fact.

But what surprises me is that someone who presumably wants to promote so-called "religious" values dwells in misinformation and in lessening the reputation of religion by misrepresenting it and implying that it is not a respectable activity.

I was taught Homo sapiens sapiens are not ape, but Human.

Then you were taught incorrectly. Humans are a type of ape.

From a previous post of mine:

1) Are you made of complex cells with internal organelles? If so, you are a eucaryote.

2) Do your cells have membranes made of lipids rather than walls made from glucosides and are they surrounded by an extracellular matrix composed of collagen and glycoproteins? Then you are an Animal.

3) During embryo development, does the blastopore (the first opening) become the anus? Then you are a Deuterostome.

4) Do you have a head, backbone, brain, red blood cells, and kidneys? Then you are a Vertebrate.

5) Are air-breathing, have hair, three ear bones, sweat glands, the ability to regulate internal temperature and specialized teeth? Then you are a Mammal.

6) Do you lack an epi-pubic bone and do females like you have a uterus which produces a placenta during pregnancy? Then you are a placental Mammal.

7) Do you have a collar bone, opposable fingers, a flat nail on fingers and toes, eye sockets made from bone, stereoscopic vision, an enlarged cerebral cortex? Then you are a Primate.

8) Do you have a narrow nose and downward pointed nostrils, broad rib cage, a fused frontal bone, convoluted cerebral hemispheres, a large brain for his size of mammal, color vision, a lack of tail, and a lack of cheek pouches? Then you are an Ape.

So, yes, if you are human, then you *are* an ape.

OK, so what does science say?
Are your parents more ape than you!

I agree. I find it difficult to understand how anyone can believe the creation story to be literally true.
