30X2 VIDEO: If humans are simply evolved apes, why do we have apes in zoos, but not humans? The answer can be found in history... at one time humans were captured and put in zoos.
At the 1904 St. Louis World’s Fair, and they had several human zoos. One held Filipinos. In another Ota Benga was part of a group of African pygmies who were on display. When the fair closed he was moved to the Bronx Zoo.
Why were these people put in zoos? Because of evolution. They were thought to be more primitive, and less evolved, ... showing earlier stages of human evolution... they were thought to be living transitional links between apes and humans. Evolutionary thinking led to human zoos. But humans are not apes.
As Christians we know that all humans are created in the image of God... making us all very valuable and equal. What we see in various people groups is the tremendous physical variation that is normal. Different skin colors, body sizes, hair... these are are normal variations.
However, even today evolutionists still have not accepted that those same variations are seen in the fossil record... categorizing various human fossils in a evolutionary progression instead of recognizing that what they are seeing is normal human variation.
