have you ever seen an ape that could be taught to do algebra? No!
Yes, humans are actually hominids, great apes.
Apes are dumb!
Apparently.
Furthermore, if we evolved from a lower species, then why is it that the apes didn't evolve in the evolutionary process?
I asked that question myself long ago. They did, we are. All extant species have evolved too. Most species that existed went extinct at some point. But we have an incredible record of evolution, despite the scarcity of fossils. And many other trails of evidence, even DNA.
Where are all those half man/half ape fossils which should be abundant in the earth's soil layers? They don't exist. This is what is known as the "missing link" by evolutionists.
Creationists pretend that there's some magical missing link. For scientists there are many transitional fossils and the ability of the theory to make predictions helps to evaluate where it's worth trying to look for more. Some people really do this successfully.

Notice that I didn't call them "scientists" because there is NOTHING scientific about evolution.
You don't really get to dictate that by using your own imaginary straw men.
it must be observable. Not only is evolution not observable, it is not testable or repeatable in a lab.
Sure.

Do you realize that evolutionists CANNOT display even ONE single proof of evolution...
You've been misled and are trying to mislead.
Whether dinosaurs existed in Biblical times or during a pre-Adamic period is debatable amongst theologians. Many preachers believe that Lucifer operated a kingdom upon the earth prior to Genesis 1:2. The Bible does support this theory with credible evidence. This is commonly known as the "gap theory." Regardless, the fact that dinosaurs once inhabited this earth adds no credibility to the THEORY of evolution.
This can be described as believing anything, ignorance, confusion... appeal to irrelevant false authorities like ancient human writings...
Evolution is for stupid people, stupid because they refuse to acknowledge the Word of God in their life.
That's false. If your cult dictates to you that knowledge somehow threatens your deity, it may not be that powerful. Many people have no problem with both faith and knowledge. Then those who "refuse to acknowledge" your deity, simply need evidence, instead of blind faith. Some may believe in other forms of spirituality or deities. It does not change the fact that we have evolved and that it is supported by overwhelming evidence, the reason that allowed us to discover and study our origins.

There is NO WAY you can believe the Bible and evolution.
As above, that's your own black and white thinking. And the problem of positing a modern interpretation of a few ancient human myths as science. Those myths were never intended to be that.
But you say, "what about 'theistic evolution' where God created everything and then allowed it to evolve? I'm glad you asked. There is no such teaching found in the Bible.
Right, ancient humans had no idea, they were ignorant about the natural world and our origins. For the same reason, you will not find in the scriptures a firehose of arguments for the rejection of reality. That's also not what the message of Jesus was about.
[... a particular modern harmony of particular ancient myths ...]
This means that all life on earth today was created about 6,000 years ago!

Wrong. So tell me, why is it important for your particular cult to attempt to turn you against reliable knowledge? Why is it its business to isolate you from the world and make you sound like an uneducated crackpot to everybody else? Only specific sects of Christianity are into Young Earth Creationism. The cult I was raised in used Day Age Creationism. Many Catholics believe in Theistic Evolution. Outside of Christianity, while there also are creationist movements, the other great religions don't generally deny the facts about the age of the universe, earth and life beginnings. So you're left behind because of a controlling cult.
There was no evolutionary process! There is nothing to prove the THEORY of evolution (and that's all evolution really is...a bogus theory).
Ignorance, denial. And see the link about scientific theory, it's not just an untested hypothesis.
should speak volumes as to the credibility
Exactly the case for your particular cult, that somehow, must mislead you. It's because of such deception that I personally eventually had to look elsewhere. It wasn't only in relation to science that we were manipulated and exploited.
[... Irrelevant fallacious diatribe based on false premises that can be dismissed as such ...]
Many people want to believe evolution because it relives them of the horrifying possibility that there might actually be a holy God watching how we live.
The fundamentalist "to justify sin" argument. Distraction from the fact that non-belief really stems from a lack of evidence. But sin itself is a subjective concept. Then if we speak of ethics, is misleading you and others to manipulate you, ethical? It's also a slippery slope argument, pretending that if I don't agree with your flawed arguments, I must be accused of anything. That's one of the harmful aspects of superstition and reality denial. Then is your only reason to not be a murderer because there's some imaginary invisible spy? What when those same arguments lead to harm and murder? Like the Inquisition and witch hunts.
