From: bch@mcnc.UUCP (Byron Howes), Message-ID: <705@mcnc.mcnc.UUCP>:
>> Man has never given birth to an
>> ape. (Observation) Prediction: No genetic potential for producing an ape.
>> This is verified in studies of genetics. Since man does not have the
>> genetic potential for producing an ape offspring, this could offer evidence
>> that man and ape are genetically unrelated and separate creations.
>
>You have to define Ape more carefully here.  As there are those of us who
>see man as a type of ape, we would say that men give birth to apes every day.

That's pretty interesting.  I always thought WOmen gave birth.  I guess men
give birth to apes, and women give birth to humans.  (Actually, if there's
any truth to "like father like son", that sounds about right.)

Oh yeah, almost forgot ... :-)
