Biologists Confirm God Evolved From Chimpanzee Deity

Biologists Confirm God Evolved From Chimpanzee Deity

BERKELEY, CA—Challenging long-held views on the origins of divinity, biologists at the University of California, Berkeley, presented findings Thursday that confirm God, the Almighty Creator of the Universe, evolved from an ancient chimpanzee deity.

The recently discovered sacred ancestor, a divine chimp species scientists have named Pan sanctorum, reportedly gave rise over millions of years to the Lord Our God, Maker of Heaven and Earth.

“Although perhaps not obvious at first glance, there are actually overwhelming similarities between the Supreme Being of today and this early primate deity who preceded Him,” said Dr. Richard Kamen, a leading biologist who also heads Berkeley’s paleotheology department. “The holy chimp moved around on all fours, but its descendants eventually began walking upright to expend less energy while foraging across the infinite reaches of the universe. This of course led to the bipedalism of modern-day God.”

“In fact, you can see a distinct likeness to God in the chimpanzee deity’s skeletal structures, not to mention its prototypical expressions of vengeance and wrath,” Kamen continued. “The great-ape god was, however, considerably smaller in stature, having not yet developed the capacity to occupy all space and time simultaneously.”

Daring them to report the story as actual news, like what happened with the Planned Parenthood $8 billion abortionplex gag.

Every picture of Him I've ever seen clearly shows him as a white European.

Consider this story debunked.

Anyway, they don't say which family of chimps might have spawned the Sacred One. I strongly suspect the Goddess is descended from a troop of hypersexualized bonobos...

Rather than an African human, TBH. Yes, their hatred really can be that deep.

Seriously, this one sucked. And it's very rare for the Onion to fail. But fail they have, with this one.
