Dr. Jerry Bergman - Apes as Ancestors DEBUNKED!

In their 2020 book, Dr. Bergman and 3 other authors examined the actual fossil evidences that have been claimed for proto-humans, including peer-reviewed paleontological publications, demonstrating that the "apes as ancestors" claim has NO solid evidence!

Great speaker - leave Q & A on video next time

1:00 "I found no books going into extensive detail refuting the claim for *apes as ancestors*" - Gee, that's probably because we ARE apes, the claim that we are 'descended from apes/chimps/monkeys' is a straw-man creationists love to use but not a claim science makes. We share a common ancestor with those creatures, we are not descended from them.

Ape is not the correct term. Humans are part of the Primate branch.
There is no such thing as an ape-man

[suzannetegart]

Totally respect Dr. Bergman but there are two previous excellent books - one even recently that debunk human evolution. Bones of Contention and Contested Bones.

Forget evolution Let’s believe in ABRACADABRA MAGIC

[dougsmith]

Naturalism (science) is about things that can be measured / observed. The central unifying element of creationism cannot be measured or observed. Naturalism is about strict, rigid adherence to emergent laws, resulting in strict limits and rules for how they can interact. The laws in creationism are there by decree, so can be anything that can be decreed, limited only by the creator's imagination. Naturalism is about increments of variation over long periods of time. Creationism is about instantaneous appearance of complexity. Naturalism is about process / circumstantial design. Creationism is about intelligent design.

The operating agents, mechanisms, concepts, and principles of creationism and naturalism are so fundamentally different that there's no reason for them to resemble each other on any level -- much less down to the level of minutae that we observe ... unless naturalism itself is the designer, in which case it makes perfect sense.

This is so sad. Here’s a tip, if you want to keep and convert more christians, teach a version of theistic evolution that works with both science and Christianity. This incoherent approach shown here will only cause more people to leave. But you do you.

This is what happens when you get an education in a church instead of a school or university.
Jerry works for ICR and has been discredited manny times.

[sigishere]

I agree with that science says nothing, only scientiest say something. Take your pick.

[charlo]

We're not descended from 'apes '. We are primates with a common ancestor.

[petermsiegel]

I'm offended you think we're just apes; no sir, we're GREAT apes. Taxonomically, great apes are hominids: humans, chimps, gorillas and orangutans (plus all our extinct relatives)!!! And our tribe is specifically called the Hominini, consisting of the human and chimp subtribes. The genetic evidence alone is overwhelming!
