I heard an evolutionist in lecture say something like, "If we could find the common ancestor of man and ape it would look like an ape."
That’s contrary to the scientific consensus.


Science is not based on consensus. Science is based on observation and repeatability. Creation and evolution are exactly the same: Both happened in the past and are taken on faith. Therefore it is incumbent upon the observers to set aside their biases, as much as is possible, and search for the most likely "facts". That's why evolutionists become creationists and not the reverse.
