The scientific journal Current Biology reports chimpanzees in Senegal regularly fashion wooden spears and hunt other primates with them, an observation, the report's authors say, that could have implications for human evolution.
Let's assume, for a moment, that the observations of researchers Jill Pruetz and Paco Bertolani are accurate and unaffected by their own obvious faith in the evolutionary creed.
It doesn't surprise me in the least that chimps might make primitive, little spears. It was the evolutionary scientists who taught us a generation ago that the only difference between man and other animals was that we used tools. I never bought that either.
Personally, I think the difference between man and other animals is that we are made in the image of God. That's my belief. You don't have to agree with me, but I think there is considerably more evidence to support my view than the view that life arose spontaneously from non-life and then evolved into higher life forms.

Let the evolutionists isolate these chimps and do whatever they want to them, change their environment, let them watch "Tarzan" movies, allow them to listen to self-empowerment CDs, permit them to interact with people. Do this for generations. You know what you will have when you're all done? Chimps.
You can teach them to ride bicycles. You can dress them up. You can even teach them to use some simple tools. But, at the end of the day, they're still going to be chimps. Their DNA will be no different, their molecular biology unaffected.
And, after that experiment, the people who believe in evolution are probably still going to believe in evolution. But, no matter what they believe, they can't change the fact that they, too, are made in the image of God.

I am a pilot. Does my ability to operate an aircraft mean I am evolving into a bird? So many questions so little time.
Given the current climate on what you can say and what you can't say ... I'm not sure that you can say "Spear Chucking".
The chimps saw it on TV.
"Does my ability to operate an aircraft mean I am evolving into a bird? "
Yes. Start looking for feathers to sprout.
I like eating Pizza,
that make me Italian ?

That's Racist!
"Does this mean cats are developing missile technology?"
Yes - watch out for the cats. They meet secretly to solidify their plans to conquer the world. They have developed a very intricate method of communication using the wires in the walls of your house. That's why every once in awhile they start staring at the wall and meowing at it. They are receiving instruction.
Once they learn how to open a can of cat food all hope is lost. We'll have to start living in underground caves.

Of course not,
but if the cat donates to the DNC,
then it can buy the technology.
Gotta run. I have a nest to build.
Me too
Darn...beat me to it.
Somebody needs to buy Mr. Farah an Introduction to Biology textbook. If selection is taking place, chimp DNA will change. Period.
What about those chimps who don't figure out how to make spears? Will the spear hunting chimps be forced to give half of their fresh meat to them? What about their self esteem? Will chimps demand that one can only hunt with wood tipped spears and not have them enhanced with stone?
Jail them criminals!

Every society, even the chimps need victims. We'll call these Democrat Chimps. They will want a chimp government so to speak, that will tax the stronger chimps who are successful and more productive.
We'll call these successful chimps ... conservative chimps.
It appeared like he would make World Net Daily into a genuine mainstream news outlet, until he got wound up with this anti-evolution faith.
