How the fossil record, evolutionary assumptions, artistic license, and anatomical differences do NOT confirm common ancestry between humans and apes.

How the fossil record

Which even knowledgeable YE creationists admit is "very good evidence for macroevolutionary theory...

Darwin’s third expectation — of higher-taxon stratomorphic intermediates — has been confirmed by such examples as the mammal-like reptile groups31 between the reptiles and the mammals, and the phenacodontids32 between the horses and their presumed ancestors. Darwin’s fourth expectation — of stratomorphic series — has been confirmed by such examples as the early bird series,33 the tetrapod series,34,35 the whale series,36 the various mammal series of the Cenozoic37 (for example, the horse series, the camel series, the elephant series, the pig series, the titanothere series, etc.), the Cantius and Plesiadapus primate series,38 and the hominid series.39Evidence for not just one but for all three of the species level and above types of stratomorphic intermediates expected by macroevolutionary theory is surely strong evidence for macroevolutionary theory. Creationists therefore need to accept this fact. It certainly CANNOT be said that traditional creation theory expected (predicted) any of these fossil finds.

evolutionary assumptions,

Darwin's 4 point remain as true as they were when first tested, over a hundred years ago. Would you like to see that?

artistic license

You got me there. Can't think of an example of that in evolutionary theory.

anatomical differences

It's the anatomical homologies that confirm humans as primates. Would you like to see some of the evidence showing this?

And it doesn't stop there. Genetics, for example, shows the chromosome fusion in humans, with remains of telomeres precisely where they would have to be, if there was a fusion. The genetic data showing humans and chimps to be more closely related to each other than either is to any other ape.

It's all of this evidence, and more that confirms the fact. Even the trends in human evolution are biologically connected to apes. Would you like to see that?
