Evidence for God from Science

LONDON - Caged and barely clothed, eight men and women monkeyed around for the crowds Friday in an exhibit labeled "Humans" at the London Zoo.

"Warning: Humans in their Natural Environment" read the sign at the entrance to the exhibit, where the captives could be seen on a rock ledge in a bear enclosure, clad in bathing suits and pinned-on fig leaves. Some played with hula hoops, some waved.

Visitors stopped to point and laugh, and several children could be heard asking, "Why are there people in there?"

London Zoo spokeswoman Polly Wills says that's exactly the question the zoo wants to answer.

"Seeing people in a different environment, among other animals ... teaches members of the public that the human is just another primate," Wills said.

The exhibit puts the three male and five female "homo sapiens" amid their primate relatives. While their neighbors might enjoy bananas and a good scratch, these eight have divided interests, from a chemist hoping to raise awareness about apes to a self-described actor/model and fitness enthusiast.

For others, the aping around is just another forum for rampant exhibitionism and self-promotion.

Pointing at one heavy muscled and gleaming body on the ledge, one visitor joked that the zoo should consider a breeding program.

"You can tell why some people came here, like the big muscly men who clearly like parading around in thongs," said Damien Largey, 23.

Melissa Wecker, 21, was disappointed that the humans were wearing swimsuits beneath their fig leaves. "They're not doing anything. It looked lots better on the news," she complained.

Tom Mahoney, 26, decided to participate after his friend sent him an e-mail about the contest as a joke. Anything that draws attention to apes, he said, has his support.

"A lot of people think humans are above other animals," he told The Associated Press. "When they see humans as animals, here, it kind of reminds us that we're not that special."

Mark Ainsworth, 21, heard about the Human Zoo on the news.

"I've lived in this country for nine years and have never come to a zoo," said Ainsworth. "This exhibit made us come to the zoo. Humans are animals too!"

Like the rest of their caged neighbors, the humans had a variety of toys to keep them entertained — board games, music, paints, and balls.

They are being treated as animals, complete with keepers, but are allowed to go home each night at closing time.

When visitor Peter Bohn, 42, saw the "animals" juggling, he stopped and had a good laugh.

"It's hilarious," he said. "It turns everything upside down. It makes you think about the humans in relation to the animals."

After three hours, Mahoney is still having fun except for when the wind picks up. But, he added, "I wouldn't do it if I didn't enjoy it."

Thinker wrote: Not to mention, they wear "leaves" over their light clothing. C'mon, if we are highly evolved apes/common ancestors, why not just do it nude, teach the public what we really are. No? Okay, then evolution is stupid. !

The sad thing is, they probably would have done it nude had the law allowed it.

I am not sure if this is the correct section in the forum for this article, but I decided to put it here since a lot of the topics deal with evolution.

Anyhow, you've got to love the lengths that evolutionists will go to in order to push their propaganda. While some might see this as harmless and funny, I found some of the quotes (which I put in bold letters) to be absolutely sickening.....

After all, animals probably don't feel shame doing those things in front of their peers.

Are humans no different than animals in a zoo?

According to evolution, nope. That would mean humans are completely shameless animals with no dignity. This proves it. Click on any news website link for the article.

(and please don't take offense at my post, I am just poking fun at some of the faulty logic I see from the gay rights movement hehe)

Thinker wrote: Well to be honest, they would do it anyways if there was no law against it. They would do it because they really are convinced that God doesn't exist. There are stories of people doing all of the above quoted things and more when people would just go up to them (Mardi Gras, and whatever else). You give an animal a "reward" for doing something, same with humans, you give a human a sum of money to do something and they will do it. Anyways, my point is, people would still do this and feel shameless.
