Creation vs. EvolutionAnswered

If evolution is false, why would some human groups be said to resemble primates more than others?

TL;DR

Robert Sungenis rejects the premise: shared anatomy does not indicate shared ancestry. He argues that features such as eyes, skin and hair recur across creatures because there are only so many ways to build them and God used the designs that work over and over, so resemblance carries no evolutionary conclusion.

A viewer asks: if evolution is false, why do certain races appear to resemble primates more than others? Robert rejects the premise.

Answer

Do I resemble a bird because I have two eyes, a nose, and lips? No. We have anatomical features that work very well, which is why God used them over and over again; he does not have to reinvent the wheel. There are only so many ways to make an eye, and they all resemble one another to some degree. We have skin and hair; animals have skin and hair. So that argument is not going to go anywhere.
