says baby chimps are as smart or smarter than human babies...

adman will commit suicide after this, given his hysteria over
the differences between humans and chimps

Hysteria? HA! you kooks exaggerate like drama queens. Which is
one of the reasons why you believe in evolution. You tend to
gravitate toward unproven exaggerated data.

....as contrasted with unproven assertions, such as those
believed by Creationists?

This article (reported by that rag the "TimesOnline") is nothing
more then Junk science reported by a corrupt news media. I
hardly call 2 scientists playing with some chimps a conclusive
study. Oppps! THAT'S right, this report is on evolution! You
know what that means, right?THAT means we believe it with
little or no evidence, peer review, and other substantiating or
corroborating data.

where is that 'peer review' eh kookster?

Try reading for comprehension:

"The researchers reached their conclusions, published in the
journal Developmental Psychobiology..."

It is still bull***

So where did you get the expertise on chimp versus human
development which allows you to dismiss a peer reviewed paper in
this way? Can you point us to your research on the subject?

Yeah, ancient texts. None of them put animals on the same level as
human despite similarities

Seems to me there is an ancient text that tells of a talking snake
outsmarting a couple of humans. I will have to look it up to find it,
however. Can't think of it offhand...

Indeed ;o) And according to another, much more convincing ancient
text, we are indeed all descended from snakes - Ophion laid the
primordial golden egg from which all creation was hatched

ignoring truth to make yourself appear cleaver just removes you further from
the truth.



So why is one ancient text featuring talking animals better than another
ancient text featuring talking animals?

Indeed, why are either of those ancient texts better than, for example, the
collected works of EE Smith, David Brin, and S. Andrew Swann, which
prominently feature non-human animals which talk... which are definitely at
the same level as humans. And, given their physical attributes, it might not
be a good idea to piss off Nohar Rajasthan or Worsel or Creideiki. Though
Creideiki, being a dolphin, would be both much smarter than you and highly
amused by your antics. Nohar would probably just rip your head off, and
Worsel would let Kim Kinnison shoot you.
