   Smile, a now very familiar pattern, make a response; any response just to   
   have a response, even if irrelevant or not valid or even not true.   
      
   I have never said anything about "apes" and humans, did someone say a   
   "putting words in the mouth" strawman argument. So what does God's   
   revelation say about apes and humans?  The dinos of some 60 million years   
    ago do not now exist.  Neither apes nor humans existed then and did not   
   appear until some 12 millions years for "apes" and 250000 years for humans   
   before the current time .   
      
   That observation from God's 2nd revelation is not consistant with a short   
   term burst of speicies bing created.  It is however in the Genesus account   
   in broad strokes of what kind of species came before others,ex. plants   
   before animals.   
      
   God's ever growing"brighter light" of scientific explanation makes   
   observation His 2nd revelation understandable.
