Here is an article that I found interesting and would like to hear both sides tell their opinion.
OK so creationists and evolutionist what say you?

Well, it is certainally interesting. Chimps have also been obsirved using crude tools. I'm not sure if it could be concidered plausible evidence for evolution, but I think it helps.

No, that isn't evidence for evolution.
I just read the title but that was enough - behaviour does not define phylogenetic relationships. Chimpanzees ARE the closest relatives of humans, but how they act isn't direct proof of it, octopuses and crows have demonstrated types of tool use, behaviour can be an example of convergent evolution.
HOWEVER, having said that, there is already overwhelming evidence of evolution - its not an article of faith and as such there is no such thing as an 'evolutionist', anymore than people who believe in gravity are called gravitationalists.

When you consider the Irreducible complexity of the eye, DNA, life its self, how one part CAN not work without the whole part, combined with the first law of thermodynamics that nothing can come from nothing, it takes far more "faith" to believe that everything just is, than it takes to believe that we are part of a grand design. Of course these simple truths are not taught in school anymore, they might actualy cause the students to think for them selves.

What is there to prove that there is no creation. It just shows God's creation and proves there was Intelligent designer.
( Maybe evolutionists should start to think different and say instead of humans coming from apes, that apes came from humans because looking at many humans now it makes far more sense and apes seem to be more intelligent and do not take drugs or anything to cause loss of intelligence. )

Chimps are, of course, our nearest relative. It's only natural for them to act like us and vice-versa.
And it's just MORE evidence for Evolution. We'll add it to the ever growing mountain of peer-reviewed research.

I would rather have a coffee cup over a chocolate bar! (I put that in so you know that I did read the article) I think it is evidence of evolution. I also think its evidence that we are not as different from other animals as we like to think.

I thought the story was interesting. More research needs to be done to validate the theories that are already forming.
Fascinating stuff...:)

The FACT that evolution occurs is indisputable. HOW evolution occurs is a matter for theory.

Evolution is fact and theory. Anyway....
In regards to your link:
Those are chimps, not very good evidence regarding human evolution - might be useful for discussions on the evolution of chimps though.

i dont like the sound of this evilution. it has too much evidence from cosmology, geology, anthropology, biology, and physics.
