What are your personal religious beliefs regarding Australopithecus?

Answer 1

It is believed that Australopithecines first emerged in Africa some 4 million years ago and that they lived until 1 million years ago. All the variations of Australopithecus are extinct apes closely resembling those of today. The brain volumes of all of them are the same or smaller than modern chimpanzees. Their hands and feet have protrusions, just like those of modern monkeys, used for climbing trees, and their feet are prehensile for clinging onto branches. They are short (1.30 m at most), and just as with present-day apes the male Australopithecus is larger than the female. Hundreds of details in their skulls, and many other features, such as the way their eyes are close together, their sharp molars, jaw structure and short arms, all prove they were no different to modern monkeys.The evolutionist claim here is the thesis that despite having a totally ape-like anatomy, Australopithecines walked upright, like man and unlike all other apes.The fact is, however, that a great many studies on Australopithecus have reached the conclusion that the species did not walk like man, and was not two-legged. I personally believe that scientists don't know what they have found. Atheists and evolutionists just want to make this into whatever they want it to be.

Answer 2

I am fairly certain that this was the tooth that was exracted form a skull which was identified as autralopithecus. This tooth contained enough DNA to analyze. This resulted in the find that A was a completely differant species from man. Any way to answer your question Man was planted here as was the entire eco-system after a asteroid hit the planet wiping out the previous life system which existed here on this planet. Some forms from that system did survive and still do to this day. The planter is that identity I call God who watches over this garden to this day. It is my opinion that this was a group project of more than one intelligence, and that my God was the over all supervisor, and had the original idea. This also answers the questions about what we assume are unnecessary deaths because this is a creation in process, or as one might use a word(though no word actually describes accurately) an experament.

Answer 3

Concerning the debate going on about intelligent design and evolution: is it possible that the final answer about which of these two seemingly opposite ideas is correct could simply be yes?

With one position firmly held by the believers and the other just as fearlessly defended by the non-believers, if you happen to be in a position somewhere near the middle, it does not look all that complex. From this position, you wonder why either-or has to be the answer.

If you believe that some higher being created the universe by intelligent design, what more elegant and intelligent design could there have been than a self-regulating system that continually checks its own errors and makes its own corrections in mid-stream as an integral part of the process.

This all seems quite logical to me although it probably won’t satisfy the believers because they are afraid to see any truth other than the one they have been told to believe in. Inversely it certainly won’t satisfy the non-believers because it leaves them stuck with a god that they are so obviously terrified of.

To sum up this view from the center, it might be most easily be explained by saying perhaps the designer was intelligent. Problem is, the designer was likely so intelligent that those seeking to prove that it is intelligently designed may be incapable of ever understand it well enough to see it for the elegant self regulating design that it has always been.

The nonbelievers will be similarly handicapped due to the internal terror the have about the idea that there may be a God. Neither side being able to leave their entrenched position for fear they may have to admit they were wrong. While the rest of us stand by trying to figure out what all the fuss is about. Personally I don’t think anyone is wrong, I just feel both sides are about half right.

Answer 4

All the Australopithecus finds were found out to be mostly ape/monkey bones.In light of that fact,God created them,just like He created all living things.

Answer 5

I used to pray to the Fire God, just like Australopithecus. Then I bought a microwave. Now I'm an atheist.

Answer 6

The problem with intelligent design is it is to simple, and it puts limits on God. First axiom in faith is God is all powerful. If this is true then why couldn't God have put things in motion and just let it go? We need to take into account that God was talking to people that did not and could not have understood how complex God's universe really is. We as believers should understand that the Atheist leaves out one essential item in their thinking about God. FAITH. We need on proof that God is real as we have FAITH, and that is all we need. As to where this all came from, God created what we call science. He gave it all it's laws. We are just finding out what they are. Maybe that is what Gods plain is all about in the first place.

Answer 7

They're were hominids, just part of the evolutionary chain leading up to homosapiens. I have no religious thoughts concerning them.

Answer 8

They have a bad attitude in all those commercials. No sense of humor. LOL

Answer 9

they are ancestors and are honored as any ancestor.
