In bold above you cant even get the basics right, HUMANS did not come or evolve from apes what is actually said is that HUMANS and Apes evolved from a COMMON ANCESTOR that's why human and ape DNA are almost but not quite the same.
Then could you present the evidence that supports this claim?
THE CLAIM THAT SEEMS SO IMPORTANT AND SUPPOSEDLY VALID THAT YOU MUST USE ALL CAPS!
A little bit more than ten years ago,the Human Genome project has been launched with the ambitious goal to decipher the sequence of the entire human DNA sequence called genome. It contains no less than 3 billion units which is enough to fill in 200 New York City telephone directories (of 1000 pages each). Every human shares more than 99% of his DNA with other humans, 98% with chimpanzees... and 50% with banana’s DNA.
We didn't descend from apes or monkeys, apes monkeys and humans all have a common ancestor that's why the dna is so alike.
Now if there was some all mighty creator why would he need to make you and a banana related, after all if he was so powerful why would his greatest creation need to have 50% dna in common with a banana
Let me first state that I am not a creationist and I am not shilling for the Church.
I feel as if both groups are looking for something to believe in that let's them sleep well at night.

We have found other humanoid skeletons that due show a linkage between humanoids, but what we have not found is a link between humans and apes, which is constantly said to exist and drilled into our heads that we evolved from apes.

We have 23 pairs and apes have 24 and there have been no skeletal remains that can explain this giant gap of evolution other then "we told you so, so listen to us".
This is no small thing we're talking about but an insanely huge gap. The oldest humanoid skeleton "supposedly" found dates 6 million years yet it does not provide a link between man and apes. In fact is only makes things more confusing because it leaves open the question, "what could we have evolved from?" and only raises more questions then answers.edit on 28-2-2013 by Lostmymarbles because: grammer

Creationist arguments are like shooting fish in a barrel.

Now the big question... do you wish to defend this argument of yours about chromosomes, or are you going to abandon it like an unloved orphan?

- As for whoever it was saying no fossils = no proof. Sure, we haven't dug up the missing link yet, we may never do so, only one in hundreds of millions of creatures even get fossilised. Allah forbid if the missing link evolved in an area which simply doesn't allow for fossils (Volcanic, now underwater etc etc).
In science and philosophy, an ad hoc hypothesis is a hypothesis added to a theory in order to save it from being falsified. Ad hoc hypothesizing is compensating for anomalies not anticipated by the theory in its unmodified form.

lol you used Wiki as a source? My little brother when he was drunk and bored use to go on that site and change things and make up stuff lol.
Though most of what is on that wiki source is correct it still does not provide a link as to why there is a difference nor has any human skeletal remains been found that would show the fusion process of the last pair of chromosomes. There is still that giant gap that has yet to be filled other then with speculation.
Also when did I put that I was a Creationist? Are you just randomly assuming this? I merely pointed out a flaw in the reasoning of both sides. If you read my post closely you see I support the idea of evolving but up to a degree. I'm a Realist, and I see both sides and believe the "possibility" of a combine state.
But here are some of my sources, non-wiki.

Simple scientific tests would prove the truth.. and they have shown it to be fake. It does not even look like a skull.

Ed Conrad has pretty much been thoroughly debunked on his claim of the skull and bone fragments by every major anthropological outlet in the nation.
Its because of his collection methods which cannot be verified, and other reasons but here is a site that pretty much takes apart his claims piece by piece.
www.geo.ucalgary.ca...
He also claims he has proof that there is life after death because he met a guy who spoke to God and believes him. Certainly not the most logical of people out there. [/quote
was going to post this thank you!!
just incase the terrible website and blurry pictures wasnt enough

Love when people use wiki as a source. Do actually know what the study says, or the reasons?
