What do you believe in? Evolution or creationism?

Ummm sir, your argument is fallacious.

a). Nobody said that "monkeys are 100% not apes".
b.) You're diverting the focus of the discussion from "how humans are relates to apes" to "the dictionary meaning of ape"
c.) in case you haven't got the point yet, your argument has got nothing to do whatsoever with the discussion.

If I have to repeat what 123 other people in this thread (you know what I mean, wag maging Plato, Socrates or Archimedes), monkeys are NOT our ancestors. Third cousins would be a MUCH more accurate picture.

dude, my reply was not for you, why bother to answer a reply not meant for you?

my reply was for city's statement that monkeys are different from apes. im just pointing out that apes/monkeys have very much in common (thats why they are similar in the dictionary) which is not saying they are COMPLETELY the same. its that simple.

if you think my argument is pointless and irrelevant to the discussion you can opt to just ignore it, leave it to the mods to judge that. are you a MOD?

All right, understood.

This is an open forum (to an extent), I can choose which argument I can reply to. I don't have to be a mod to participate in the argument, mind you (which is what I'm doing). I'm sure I'm not breaking any rules, and neither are you.

yes this is an open forum BUT it would be preferrable if you understand and ask for clarification of a poster's reply first before outright declaring his post to be FALLACIOUS, IRRELEVANT or a DIVERSION OF THE TOPIC, in his face. I obviously took offense in your blatant reply to my post which wasnt even meant for you.

If you were offended by my post, please accept my apologies. It appears to me I had been in violation of a few rules of netiquette.
