Do we get extra points for answering rhetorical questions?
Anyway here goes: "Why should we believe in god?"
We shouldn't. It is time to put that myth to bed. Much like the myth of santa claus serves a purpose to our children, but becomes unbelievable as we grow up, the myth of "god" served a purpose when humanity was in it's infancy. But now that we are, as a species, in our adolescence, it is time to open our eyes and accept the truth.......we are nothing but a random chance occurence with no purpose outside of that which we make for ourselves in this life.

so I suppose you've talked to a baboon lately and it told you it didn't believe in God? if someone didn't make the baboon, then where did it come from? don't put words in the chimp's mouth--they'd rather have bananas.
I hope we're smarter than an ape! The fact that we've managed to stay on this side of the zoo cage has to count for something...

First, neanderthal guy isn't a "0.5 guy, 0.5 ape." there is not any genetic hyperlink between guy and ape it particularly is '0.5 and 0.5.' Neanderthal guy is a guy. 2d, God can do something. listed decrease than are 3 examples. a million) He could have created the worldwide over hundreds of thousands of years that could desire to work out the upward thrust and fall of dinosaurs and whatnot earlier guy became created. "yet do no longer forget this one component, expensive acquaintances: With the Lord an afternoon is almost one thousand years, and one thousand years are like an afternoon." (2 Peter 3:8) 2) He could have created the worldwide with a background.

(Genesis 2) In that understand, he can reason, he can decide for, he has unfastened will. Animals, on the different hand, act out of instinct. finally, evolution is a concept and not shown in view that a hyperlink can not be got here across between apes (which i'm supposing you're saying we descend from) and humanity. Frankly, it takes in all hazard greater faith to have self assurance in evolution than to have self assurance interior the writer. How very exciting which you end your assertion with "any solutions that don't provide an exciting reaction or concept and easily say blablabla faith. . . are non psychological and could be ignored. . . " He who has ears to take heed to, permit him hear.

If you believe in evolution, why do we still have apes? God created all things. Man has something that animals don't have and is the ability to reason. We also have a sin nature that our grandfather Adam passed on to us. Romans 5:12 Wherefore, as by one man sin entered into the world, and death by sin; and so death passed upon all men, for that all have sinned: Animals don't know right from wrong but we do by nature. We need somebody to take care of our sins and that is what the Lord Jesus Christ did on the cross for us, He died for our sins.

Quite simply put, Apes as well as all animals do not have a soul. I know most consider man an animal, but we were made after the animals by God. Because we are beautifully made in God's image, we have a soul.
It is the soul that separates us from the animals. They have no concept of God so your question is mute.

How do you know our simian brethern don't believe in God? Incidentally, simian is the classification that covers chimps, gorillas, baboons, etc. Ape is a type of simian.
To the best of my knowledge, no one really knows what goes on in the simian mind.

What is your proof they don't believe in God? The Bible says that they do, and every animal bows down to Him. It is illogical to think this world happened with a bang. Obviously higher powers are behind this world.
