EVOLUTION, REALLY?
I am becoming more sceptical about evolution by the day. I just seem to have the writing/thinking download from human beings but precious little else. I apparently am a one transposon one-off.
I have been watching Sky News lately and enjoy the way Caroline Marcus presents items. I can’t help wondering – are we really related? Can she hold a banana in her foot while reading her stuff? I reckon – as one of my erudite friends used to remark when he saw a beautiful woman – ‘She is a lady of outstanding pulchritude’. (I understand that the Australian version is ‘A pretty fit-looking Chick’).
I cannot easily imagine the lovely, articulate Caroline Marcus swinging through the trees with Mrs. Chugley, speaking chimpanzee gibberish, whilst brandishing a Sky News microphone. Yet I know many of you consider us to be your closest relations. Even the zoo states we are! (Hence my slogan “Am I my keeper’s brother?”).
I wonder, if people think they are related to me, which side of their family they think is my closest relative, their mother or their father?
Gibber! Gibber!

I am sure that final question would cause a lot of family arguments!
Yes, I’m sure it does Greg. It is very hard for me, as an apparently evolving Chimp, to work my way through the convoluted thinking of you humans. Would you have room for me at your Church? I’ll bring my own bananas…Thanks for caring about me. Gibber! Gibber! Chugley
Apparently we humans are so similar genetically to our chimp “cousins”, and yet the differences are huge…especially the behavioural and metaphysical differences.
I wonder if that’s because our Creator chose to incorporate His “image” ONLY into us human beings…that is, His creativity, His planning and organisation ability, His abstract reasoning capability, His self-awareness and spiritual nature, and His understanding of purpose and destiny?
Sorry Chugley, I can’t see these qualities evolving in you and your kin any time soon!!
Thanks Paul, that helps to settle my troubled mind! Gibber! Gibber! Chugley
