Are Christians Smarter than Chimps?

Well, the original ABC News report questions whether "humans" are
smarter than chimps, but since Christians are the ones that question
the chimps' abilities in order to distance themselves from them, it's
time they review their preconceptions. Actually they may find
themselves outsmarted by the apes. At least they use their brains in
better pursuits...

Chimps Beat Humans on Memory Tasks
One chimp, Ayumu, distinguished himself from the other chimps in
mental ability. He was included in a second round of tests, which
included him and 9 college students.

Five numbers were flashed on a screen for 7/10 of a second, before
they became white squares. The participants were required to touch the
squares in their correct numerical sequence. When the numbers were
shown, Ayumu and the college students succeeded in guessing the
correct sequence about 80 percent of the time.

As you go to the bottom of that link, you'll find the video "Talk Like
a Chimp." Most amazingly, even preachermen talk like them!

I don't believe a rock can feel threatened and I don't believe that dirt
could feel cheated. But I do believe that chimpanzees could feel such
emotions. Does that mean that there is a Personal Creator who fashioned
chimps in His image? If not, then your argument fails.
