Are you saying that the apes in the jungles are not apes? What are you calling them? Therefore, when you claim that humans can breed with apes, you are also including the beasts in the jungle unless you are saying they are not apes. Therefore, you cannot claim that humans can breed with apes unless you change the name of the beasts in the jungle to a different name which then defeats the whole point of evolution by saying that humans came from apes. But again, this kind of contradiction and irrationality is what happens when people try to make one species into another.

The context of this one may have been lost in the quotation, as I had no idea what this guy was trying to say.
This quote later in the thread is good too. It occurs after another poster explains that humans ARE apes, which is a larger classification of animals, and therefore when two humans breed, a human is breeding with an ape. Since, you know, THEY'RE BOTH APES. AND BOTH HUMAN.
Now, everyone imagining this woman having children with jcrawford.
"On two occasions, I have been asked [by members of Parliament], 'Pray, Mr. Babbage, if you put into the machine wrong figures, will the right answers come out?' I am not able to rightly apprehend the kind of confusion of ideas that could provoke such a question."
The only ones confused about the close linking of Human to Apes are creationists.
We both come from similar animals, not from each other. That's made clear in every explanation I've ever seen until religion is added.
It's obvious the main tactic against evolution is to claim it states things it doesn't
“Are you saying that the apes in the jungles are not apes?”
“What are you calling them?”
“Therefore, when you claim that humans can breed with apes, you are also including the beasts in the jungle unless you are saying they are not apes.”
“ Therefore, you cannot claim that humans can breed with apes unless you change the name of the beasts in the jungle to a different name which then defeats the whole point of evolution by saying that humans came from apes.”
Confused?
