At Genesis 3:19
it says referring to Adam,it says: For dust you are and to dust you will return."
So, no we are not a chimp, we are made from dust.
Does God lie?
- Numbers 23
- 19
- God is not a man, that he should lie; neither the son of man, that he should repent.
- 2 Samuel 7
- 28
- Thou art that God, and thy words be true.
- Titus 1
- 2
- In hope of eternal life, which God, that cannot lie, promised before the world began.
- Hebrews 6
- 18
- It was impossible for God to lie.
So we see god does not lie.
But man wrote the bible, right? Yes, but it is inspired by God.
For 2nd Timothy 3:16,17 says: All Scripture is inspired of God and beneficial for teaching, for reproving, for setting things straight, for disciplining in righteousness, that the man of God may be fully competent, completely equipped for every good work.
AnswerNo, you are a Human
Homo sapiens.
Chimpanzees
Pan troglodytes and
Pan paniscus are the closest relatives to extant
Homo. That does not make
Homo equivalent to Chimpanzee
Pan. One must realise that evolution does not work in a 'linear' fashion eg Chimpanzee becoming Human or (the idiotic idea of some not versed in Evolution Theory) that Chimpanzees suddenly displace themselves by giving birth to Humans.
Evolution works in a branching/diverging/bifurcatory fashion. There was at x time in the past a
Pan-
Homo common ancestor, whose population diverged to give rise to the extant
Pan on the one hand and the extant
Homo sapiens on the other (via
Australopithecus and a few
Homo species and perhaps other genera on the Homo branch and Pre-
Pan troglodytes/
paniscus species and/or genera on the
Pan branch. Due to such a
divergence from a common ancestor it should be plain that you are not a Chimpanzee, but a Human.
