Here's one creationists can't answer: The creationist believes that god created "Kinds" of animals and that humans and other apes are different Kinds
Well the Creationist would definitely say that lions and tigers are the same cat kind. They would say that rats and mice are the same kind and they damn sure would say that African and Asian elephants are the same elephant kind.....
But guess what all of those animals have in common?
By genetic analysis, they are ALL less closely related to the member of their own "kind" than Humans are to Chimpanzees.
So how does that work? How are these animals which you consider to be of the same kind less closely related than Humans and Chimps which you consider to belong to different kinds?

If you stop and think about it, which of course being ideologically fixated you wouldn't, your logic would destroy the ideology you were indoctrinated with. The Bible says that God created everything according to its kinds, but it doesn't state what those kinds were and certainly not that they would necessarily reflect what we would constitute as kinds. The Bible itself seems to indicate that those kinds are established just as it says. If they can multiply. Produce fertile offspring. So, if you say that man is an ape then according to the Bible man couldn't have evolved from an ape because he is an ape. But, you see, the trick is this; what idiot evolutionists and creationists seem to overlook is that evolution has never been observed in nature. It isn't really science, it's speculation. And since we see, everyday, that kinds multiply, apes and men don't. It doesn't really matter that you say they are "related" or similar, the question is can they make more. We know when we plant something it will grow only that something. We never say, well, it could evolve or have evolved into something else.
