Since "You are not a monkey!!", would you find this term laughable or insulting?

Derek, calm down my man, I'm simply asking a question. Not saying that calling this a simian crease proves anyhting about our origin. It only shows that it's accepted in the medical community. Unless they called it that before Darwin, I have no idea.

personally I wouldn't really mind. I wouldn't laugh of punch him as it's neither funny nor insulting. To be honest I find it funnier to think that we were originally monkeys.

A simian crease is a single palmar crease as compared to two creases in a normal palm. Simian crease occurs in about 1 out of 30 normal people, but is also frequently associated with other conditions such as Down syndrome, Aarskog syndrome or fetal alcohol syndrome.
You're ridiculous.

So,your taking this just a little farther.I guess that's what today's generation of evolutionists are using as defense.

So what's your point.A "professional" doctor would use the utmost in concern for their patient and their family when approaching the subject if he thought there was a serious concern.
Using the simian crease as a weapon to justify your theory of evolution is stupid.
I thought you evolutionist folk is supposed to be intellectuals.
Some children with down syndrome do have simian creases in their palms.That means nothing to a loving father,so get off of it.It has no baring on our subject.

I wouldn't do either. I'd ask what it was. After all, just because it's called Simian doesn't mean it's monkey-related. Sounds like a medical condition to me.

I dont know any creationists that dont believe in micro-evolution.
I dont know any creationists that dont believe that humans are similar to any number of different animals in any number of different ways.
Creationists typically dont believe in cross speciel jumps.
In fact....even evolutionists dont believe we came from monkeys.
Australiopithicus maybe or homo habilis....but definately not a monkey.

I'm not a monkey, but I have learned that in a past life I was a chimpanzee named whornk.

I would ask him why that is important.
Creationism and evolution are not mutually exclusive. Creationism simply says that God created everything. It doesn't really specify how. He could have used evolution if he felt like it.

If...if...if. My daddy used to say,"If a frog had wings, he wouldn't bump his tail." Would you laugh "if" they dug up a 5 million year old ape-man and he was wearing a Timex watch....? LOL

I would consider the source and kiss His beautiful work of creation--a most precious gift to me.
