Human beings may have been slightly different in 1013 but they were still human beings.

They weren't and never were once chimpanzees.

The human today is different from the human 1000 years ago. An apple falls on someone's head. Both observable, demonstrable phenomena. For the one, you demand minute detail on how and why. For gravity, you don't demand any detail on how and why. And yet, science actually understands the how and why of evolution much better than the how and why of gravity. We don't know why matter is attracted to matter, we don't know how the force exerts itself.
That is not the worst of it.

For science, the bar is perfection and beyond, and still they deny. But for their dogma, there is no standard whatsoever, other than the old , uneducated fools of thousands of years ago said it is so.

You need to prove that evolution takes place.

So far, you have failed.

No. I don't.

I base it on the wacky creationist theory of Biblical taxonomy.

Thank you for admitting that the motivation for advancing the unprovable theory of evolution is hostility to religion.

The common ancestor of humans and chimpanzees was neither a human nor a chimpanzee.

But we have proof that ancestor existed, because all of us (all humans and all chimpanzees) still have the left-overs from a flue he or she got some ten or eleven millions years ago.

I'm not quite sure what this statement has to do with anything though, since we're not talking about speciation on a 1000 year time scale and no one is arguing that humans ever were chimps, or descended from chimps.

The burden of proof is on the one making the positive assertion.

Do you claim that chimpanzees evolved into people?

If so, then you need to provide evidence to support your claim.
