Why is it that everytime a new skeleton is found in the middle of nowhere everybody yells "Evolution!!!"?

Question

Couldn't it be that it was just a really effed up looking person?

Answer 1

This is a question that should get an award. Every time they find a skeleton, you'll hear them say "look! we found a man, and hey, it kinda looks like a monkey skull - wow we musta been monkeys then thru the years developed into people! Quess what - the reason the thing looks so much like an ape is BECAUSE THEY DUG UP THE SKELETON OF A DARN APE. But one thing I should tell you is this: When it comes to the controvery between creation and evolution, one of the biggest problems is that there are these fuzzy-minded christians who get up and say that evolution isn't true, that God created this Earth 6000 years ago.
Its no wonder people laugh at them - they should laugh at them.
The Bible DOES NOT state that this world was created 6000 years ago - in fact, it states that the Earth is billions and billions of years old. It says there was an entire age before this one we live in now. When you read in Genesis 1:1, you are reading about God forming our age to be inhabited AGAIN, only this time by flesh. God said: be fruitful, multiply and replenish the earth.
RE plenish, because it was already plenished once before, but that earth age that was, was destroyed in the great war when Satan rebelled and took one third of the stars..... Whatever way the earth and its animals, etc. adapted or evolved or whatever, was at the hand of God - there is absolutely no contradiction between TRUE science and Gods Word.

Answer 2

Why is it that everytime a skeleton is dug up and scientists claim it is an ancient ancestor, the creationists claim it is actually a person riddled with arthritis? Are only arthritic people allowed to leave their bones lying around wating to be found? Surely there must be someone who died without bone deformities out there somewhere.
Also, having defromities does not alter certain features, such as the hole in the base of the skull where nerves travel - it suggests how upright the person was born to walk. It is not altered due to bone malformation or disease.

Answer 3

Or could it be micro-evolution rather than macro-evolution?

I have no problem believing that species can adapt to fit a changing environment. But for one species to become genetically altered to the point that it becomes another species entirely? That I have trouble conceiving of, and I hardly think that a few odd looking skeletons validate macro-evolution.

Incidentally, Mr. "Bill Gates" up near the top needs to go sit down somewhere quietly and take a Valium, his hatefulness is going to eat him up. Yeah, calling people "Christards" is REALLY proving your point.

Answer 4

Yes it could be. But when all you find is effed up looking persons from one time period, and no humans, wouldn't you say that those effed up looking people were actually the norm? And then if all those effed up looking people, who were actually what everyone looked like, turned out to all be one species (not human), wouldn't you say that they were their own species? Then when all those species perfectly lined up from ancestral ape to humans in appearance, genetics, intelligence, etc, etc, wouldn't you say that maybe they evolved? And this is using science from the pre 1950s here. the evidence we have now basically says, there is no other answer other then evolution.

Answer 5

Generally speaking that does not happen. However, there is a predisposition in the scientific community to assume that there are multitudes of transition species out there waiting to be discovered. Finding one will likely grant the discoverer great fame and probably wealth. Given this, is it really any wonder why?

Answer 6

Could it possibly be that experts in the field of primate anatomy and paleontology can tell the difference between the skeleton of a modern human being and the skeleton of a pre-hominid primate??

Answer 7

Bamma love the Beatles. Bamma say Evolution a very old song but one of Bammas favorites. Bamma say come together. Bamma say he wonder how record get in the middle of nowhere. Bamma say back then you need electricity to play that. Bamma say he think Abby Road on the other side of 45. Bamma remember old plastic record player with big hole for record. Bamma say two songs all you get. Bamma say either that or he saw it on antique road show. Bamma think he help you. Bamma say so.

Answer 8

For lack of anything else to yell. I agree with you wholheartedly! PS The person was most likely pretty effed up looking but that's Death for you...

Answer 9

The experts have already decided what they want to believe. Now they grope for scraps of evidence that just seem to them to substantiate what they believe.

Answer 10

I don't have a problem with the skeletons that have been found. God is eternal and we don't know what he did before He created man. The Bible begins there and couldn't possible include everything that happened. It's a guide to Him. It's to help us learn about Him. I'm sure there are a lot of mysteries we'll learn when we stand before Him.
