Here is a brief response to The Times Online article:Hello smartypants: baby chimps are as bright as human infants. Jack Grimston. From The Sunday Times. February 1, 2009.
The news reads:
Advancement perception should not be relegated to few comparison and contrasts. This article is another example of evolutionary bias promoted to enable credibility and funding. Humanity in the embryo stage as well as the infant stage follows cognitive development in a procedural way. The process of growth is different from chimps and humans. To suggest that baby chimps are more advanced is to demote humanity. To demote humanity is based on the subjectivity of atheistic evolution.
CHIMPANZEES have long been known for their ability to mimic humans. Now scientists have found that baby chimps’ mental development can even be more advanced than children of the same age.
At nine months, the animals are just as curious and capable of recognising carers and familiar objects as the average baby. When compared with infants kept in isolated conditions in orphanages, the animals are even more advanced.
The Bible says that "All flesh is not the same flesh, but there is one kind of flesh of men, another flesh of animals, another of fish, and another of birds." (1Co 15:39) What does this biblical statement mean? It can be argued that humanity has been endowed with a distinctiveness of design. This is one reason why theistic evolutionists have a hard time dealing with the creation of the soul. It does not complement evolution.
In conclusion, even evolutionists who are theist have to ascertain there is a difference between humans and chimps. This difference can only be explained by intelligent design. The soul of a human has no doubt been created by God and thereby distinguishing us from the animal world.
