I understand your point. But all things are possible with God and it's in the Book. HalleluYah !!! Praise the Lord! 😏
Got a wrench to throw at your belief.
Genesis 2:4
American Standard Version (ASV)
4 These are the generations of the heavens and of the earth when they were created, in the day that Jehovah God made earth and heaven.
It seems here all that God created was done in a "day". What does that mean?

P.S. Dawkins was the first person I had heard say it. So there may be many more that I am not aware of. But the point I was orignally making was that at one point evolutionists stated apes were our ancestors not cousins.

are you talking here about modern apes or an extinct ape-like creature? If modern apes: when did evolutionists state that modern apes were NOT our cousins?
We and modern apes are descended from an ape-like animal -a small primate.
No doubt many evolutionists once referred to ( and probably some still do ) that ape-like creature as simply “ape” -the trivial difference between "ape-like" and "ape" being so academic in this case that you could make the argument that it would be pedantic to insist on calling it “ape-like” rather than “ape” so what you are saying here is completely trivial.

Where is there advances ?
Come on, I think this has been explained to you several times before. Evolution does not aim towards creating human beings. Am I wrong? Is this the first time you have heard this, or are you being deliberately dishonest? Or are you just slow?
I'm slow a Tard even at times LOL

We've become so used to our current state of fast innovation that we tend to forget that things did not always go so quickly. After the wheel, it took us over 5000 years to build an airplane that worked. A mere 60 years later, we were launching ourselves into space. Things advance very slowly indeed, at first, but then the progress starts to come at a mo ...[text shortened]... volution guarantees them nothing. Most forms of life that have ever existed are now extinct.

Some men have determined that we are in the ape family. Those that believe in the theory of evolution say apes are our ancestors. God contradicts this by saying He created man in the image of God. I tend to believe the creator rather than the creature. HalleluYah !!!

Your'e determined that it was definite 24 hour day, but it couldn't have been.
Also this was not just termed a "day" but it is called a "creative day" which gives it a very special meaning. This is what God called it, not Moses.
" God's ways or not our ways and his thoughts not our thoughts" and his timetable is completely different then ours.

We were also created with the ability to create things ourselves, which is like God. We were created with a moral conscience since we are able to understand good and evil like God.

P.S. And we did not evolve these abilities as the evolutionists will tell you. God may have modeled us after the apes when he created us but He created us with these abilities making us in His image.

so not only are you saying something very trivial about what was said in the past but it happened a long time ago and science has moved on from there while you haven't.
