Quote in title taken from article footnote.
Anyone have information on who Gene Hwang and Yan-Der Hsuuw in the article are?
Why do they repeatedly state that apes turned to humans when that's not what evolutionists teach at all?
By “evolution,” we mean “macroevolution”—apes turning into humans, for example.

Indeed. Any "ape" in our evolutionary tree dates from 3 million years ago, let's say Australopithecine Afarensis. Anything after that would be in the lineage of Homo.

Why?
Because it sets up a wonderful straw-man that they can knock down with ease, that's why.

Welcome Fading truth!

I couldn't find an ape turned to humans on a quick look. Get back to us if you connect the dots.

Google leads me to a Dr. Gene Hwang in New Buffalo, MI here:
Probably a JW they pulled out of the woodwork to quote in their "scientific" article.

From that same article:
Is Evolution a Scientific Theory?
What qualifies a theory as a scientific theory? According to theEncyclopedia of Scientific Principles, Laws, and Theories, a scientific theory, such as Albert Einstein’s theory of gravity, must
Be observable
Be reproducible by controlled experiments
Make accurate predictions
In that light, where does evolution stand? * Its operation cannot be observed. It cannot be reproduced. And it cannot make accurate predictions. Can evolution even be considered a scientific hypothesis? The same encyclopedia defines a hypothesis as “a more tentative observation of facts [than a theory],” yet lends itself “to deductions that can be experimentally tested.”
Wow... Look at that last paragraph.
"Its operation cannot be observed." Wrong, the fossil record shows how it operates.
"It cannot be reproduced." Well, neither can gravity. We haven't been able to make artificial gravity, yet it's still scientifically sound and accurate.
"It cannot make accurate predictions." Well, yeah, because evolution isn't a person that predicts things. However, scientists can accurately predict how things will evolve depending on the environment you subject them to. For instance, if Kevin Costner's Waterworld were to actually happen, Humans might eventually evolve into several different species of whale-like mammals, although not exactly like whales.

It should be acknowledged that the WTS have a pressing agenda to break apart evolution acceptance as something factual, the reasons for that should be obvious.
It becomes even easier for them since they do not have any academical schooling on the subject, their only recourse is to postulate their own ignorance as a means to demean the the science.
The JWS eat the information up reconfirming that biological evolution is Satan inspired going against God's word the bible.

Evolution is a continuum, there is no such thing as micro and macro-evolution

Apes don't turn into humans!! Modern apes share a common ancestor with humans. -

I can't believe they f*cking quoted RICHARD EFFING DAWKINS in this article!
The “words” and “sentences” in DNA make up the various “recipes” that direct the production of proteins and other substances that form the building blocks of the various cells that make up the body. For example, the “recipe” might guide the production of bone cells, muscle cells, nerve cells, or skin cells. “The filament of DNA is information, a message written in a code of chemicals, one chemical for each letter,” wrote evolutionary biologist Richard Dawkins. “It is almost too good to be true, but the code turns out to be written in a way that we can understand.”
WHAT THE HELL? They're quoting him to support their lie that complexity means a creator!
