re: Do you think Great Apes could eventually evolve enough to have their own Stone Age?

Chimps have been observed using stones as an hammer/anvil in order to crack nuts for thousands of years. Old World Monkeys such as Macaques do this as well.
Have they been observed manipulating /modifying the rocks to achieve sharper points or flatter surfaces? If not, I wouldn’t consider them being in their own Stone Age.
As to your question, yes I could envision chimps evolving to where they begin to modify and manipulate rocks to improve sharpness to improve cutting, stabbing, or hammering.

That's not evolution. That's learning through trial and error.

the hilarious South Park clip that perfectly highlighted how stupid evolutionists are.
You have a fundamental misunderstanding of that clip
The South Park guys are atheists

Going by he theory of evolution, they will remain apes unless something happens to drastically alter their environment. They’re perfectly evolved to the environment they live in. You need something drastic to change in the environment for one species to evolve into another species

Pretty sure Hollywood already covered this too.
Well, the movie apes were heavily modified (the new remakes, that is)

Is adherence to evolution faith?
No, evolution is observable fact - life forms on the planet have changed over time, the evidence of which is in the geologic record.
The theory is with regards to how evolution occurred. Darwin theorized that it was Natural Selection driving evolution.
tl;dr: Evolution is fact, natural selection is the theory to explain it.

The Scrolls include the oldest known manuscripts of the Hebrew Bible, dating from ~250 BCE to 70 CE.
What leads them to believe the scrolls are that old? Could it be radiocarbon dating?

Don’t follow history, don’t you?

So did humans evolve from Stone Age to the computer age or did we achieve it through trial and error?

I’m more worried about the egos they’ll have when they realize we call them great apes

Ignorant, confident, and wrong. Those are the kinda traits most people would be ashamed of but I'm sure you are too stupid to realize that you are wrong.

I've watched the politards evolve form being anti war to pro war in just a couple weeks.

The poster said chimpanzees (species of Great Ape) using tools is evidence of evolution. I disagreed because that is learned behavior within the same species.
There have been multiple humans (species of Great Ape) existing from the Stone Age to the computer age (Australopithecus, Homo erectus, Neanderthal, Homo sapiens).
Not the same.

Yeah you are correct that chimpanzees using tools isnt evolution.
You can however look in your back yard and see evolution right in front of your eyes. The bugs/animals living there will be similar to animals you can find on the other side of the country, just specialized through evolution for the differences in our climates and the preys/predators/competitors that occupy those areas.

Haha i noticed that too. Its fine though im sure learning about evolution would give that dude a migraine anyway.

I’m pretty sure that Breesus actually believes in evolution, and that he’s trying to mock Christianity. His very username “Breesus” seems like an attempt to mock Christianity,
