I am being serious: do anybody know why Apes look like humans (fingers, toes, facial features)? No other animal in the animal kingdom has those kinds of resemblances . I don't claim to be a science nerd or anything....

Because we share some 95% (or greater depending on species) of our genetic material with them.

I would go so far as to say that even monkeys have similar hands and feet even if not facial anatomy.

Because G-d created apes. He also created us. Sculptors tend to make similar sculptures.

Duh?

That would be because humans are a species of ape. NOVA | The Last Great Ape | Our Family Tree | PBS

Oh so someone else made bacteria? Leafy seadragons? Hanging moss? Or the multitude of OTHER organisms that do not look anything alike?

We are closely related to apes, that is why we look similar.

See liberals claim that apes are their relatives which is their logical ideas ..... See in reality Man is an animal like all the other animals that God created and several mammals do have the same kind of body function ..... But the difference is that man was selected by The Lord God because he would and could interact with the Lord God to be His children , so God can put in man His spirit which can interact with the Lord and is designed to be in Gods Heaven .... Where the ape was created by God and God has a purpose for the ape , but God does not interact with the ape in a mental capacity and there is not soul for this animal for heaven , But God can help this animal in its health , and even prepare a place for the apes spirit after it pass from this earth so It may be preserved ... But Faith from God Children must be provided

Because we both are descended from a common ancestor.
