Exactly! I am agreeing with you.
What I try to point out, is that because we have, as you call it, Exclusive genes, we thus can't technically be called "Apes". The classification of "Man" should thus be "excluded" from the classification of "Apes". This much should be apparent with modern genetic testing.
If we share 97.5 % of our gene with rats, And apes share 98.5 % of our genes, then I must conclude that apes share about 99 % of their genes with rats (feel free to review this, I'm not so good with maths). My point is, if apes, which thus share 99 % of their genes with rats, are not classified as rats, then why are humans, which share only 98.% % of their genes with apes, classified as apes?

Because animal classification is not related to genotype but to phenotype (the physical representation of our genes). Even if we share 97% of our genes with a rat, their relative position on the genotype changes what they configure and to what extent. We are classified by likeness and general characteristics. This is why we belong to the great apes group, because we are very similar.

I don't remember reading in the bible God saying "though shall create man and make him taller"
Just a thought...
There is this fact of people having better nutrition.......that has nothing to do with evolution. Good grief, is that the best example we can hear?
Both sides can be dishonest and lie.Is that even possible for you people to understand in this world.

The dishonesty and brainwashing is not coming from the side of those who believe evolution, who does that leave i wonder.
Nice way to take the subject way from fraud and hoaxes in evolution to say something about Christianity. Why not stick to the thread's subject. Everytime I post a topic you all don't like you create straw men, change the topic and derail my thread. Last time it was over 16 pages of non topic arguments.

Some people won't even teach evolution as a theory anymore that is how dishonest and ridiculous it has become.

There is a war going on and many understand different aspects of it, but when examined in total the only logical explanation is that there is an absolute full on assault through the new age movement and science to undermine Christianity via fantastic tales and hoaxes which they seek to hide via their compliant media whores. When an anthropological hoax is revealed it becomes news for a week and then it’s forgotten. Later, that same idea is still taught to children in schools to support the theory of evolution. The natural outcome of that theory is to create disbelief in young children.
Rules are not fun. Many children will do anything to test the boundaries of their parents rules. It’s actually a safety mechanism because if the boundary is real then the child can trust their parent. If the parent does not enforce a rule then the child cannot trust the parent. Now, if education can come along and sow seeds of disbelief in a most logical way, then the child can learn to distrust their parents judgment and if their parent is a Christian then it’s easier to dismiss this idea of God and the gift of salvation in Jesus. Once you get rid of that notion then situational ethics is perfectly logical and there is no right or wrong. After generations of this we have the outcome of lying politicians and a country in ruins. This was the plan all along of the Marxist communists in their plan to destroy America from within through demoralization, destabilization, crisis and then normalization as explained by the Russian KGB defector Yuri Bezmenov when he explained the true purpose of their system. These globalists do have a plan for the world. We are seeing the final pieces falling into place today. Once the crisis hits the effects of demoralization and destabilization will be realized when the totalitarian control of the world takes place. Anyone who will not comply will be seen as a traitor to humanity. These individuals will be seen as the enemy to mankind, peace, and utopia. The logical step is to remove these people and they will believe they are doing good ultimately.
The problem with evolution is that it is used to teach how life began when that was not even Darwin’s starting point. Darwin’s theory begins after life is here and tries to show that we all come from a common ancestor. My recent blog post about Intelligent Design shows the myriad of problems with Darwin’s ideas when one understands just what is necessary for cellular function. I believe, that had Darwin known this information, he would never have presented his theory because of the fact that for life to begin by chance in some chemical soup would be a one in a trillion, trillion, trillion, trillion chance! It just could not happen by chance alone. Amazingly, one of the chief proponents of evolution, Dawkins author of “God Delusion”, actually gives credence to aliens seeding life on earth!
Anything but God. What are these hoaxes that have been used to prop up this idea of evolution?
“PILTDOWN MAN”
“Piltdown Man” was presented to the world as the missing link proving evolution. But, what do we now know about the “Piltdown Man”?
A fossil human skull found near Piltdown, England, in 1912. It was taken from a gravel pit cut into an ancient alluvial fan. The deposit itself probably dates from the third glaciation but contains much older materials washed in from higher levels. The skull while exceedingly thick and showing some primitive characteristics is essentially that of modern man (ibid., volume 15, p. 782).
Dr. Don Boys clarified information on the Piltdown Man and it’s discover:
The evolutionists, flushed and excited, pointed to their “missing link” for more than 40 years [from 1912 until 1953], and boasted about it in all the textbooks as being “proof of evolution.” In fact more than 500 doctoral dissertations were written on Piltdown Man, seeking to establish him as one of the most impressive “finds” in the history of science…[But] in 1953, three honest scientists found that the modern ape’s jaw and human skull had been “doctored” to resemble an ape man, and the fake [had] fooled the world’s greatest experts! The persons responsible for the hoax (fraud) some allege, were [Charles] Dawson [himself - the man who "found" the fossil] and Pierre Teilhard de Chardin who had written several books trying to harmonize evolution and [Catholicism] (Don Boys, Ph.D., Evolution: Fact, Fraud or Faith, Largo, Florida: Freedom Publications, 1994, pp. 259-260).
Completely fabricated fraud showing the willingness of evolutionists to swollow anything that seems to support their pet theory.

In the Bible Jesus claims on quite a few occasions that the world would end/kingdom of God would come still within the life time of the people who were listening. Have a look for example here..
