Creationists thoughts on 'evolutionist findings'?

Question

I am sincerely curious to know creationists thoughts on ancient fossils/skeletons found. i.e. A. africanus, P. bosei, h. erectus etc.

I am an evolutionist, but for those who disagree I'm curious to know what you make of this.

Answer 1

Only one survived, the Adam & Eve group. Just watched a documentary, I forgot what they were called, but they were entirely human from the beginning, all of those others died out, just like the neandertal did. We know the first people came from Africa, that skin, eyes & hair lightened as we moved to colder climates since we no longer needed so much pigmentation to protect us from the sun. We've evolved, and since every generation gets taller and supposedly smarter (that ones up for grabs though), we're still evolving. What is so difficult about that? Do you really think its more logical that a big bang from nothingness created everything? And you think that's rational?

Evolution and creation go hand in hand. God created, but He created in such a way that we'd evolve, not from apes of course, but we have evolved.

Answer 2

Australopithecus africanus- An ape

Paranthropus bosei -- still an ape

Homo Erectus -- A man

Homo Erectus is usually depicted as "almost human" however, it was only a scull cap and what looked to be a modern day femer that were found. Later, there was a molar found believed to be of the same era, which scientists somehow determined was the same kind of molar H. Erectus had. I dont understand this, I know my teeth look a lot different than another persons, I see people with very long teeth, some with short teeth, some overbites and underbites etc etc. And dont we have irregular scull shapes even now? I know my friend has a very sqaure, strong jawline and I do not. If our remains are found 10,000 yrs from now, will they assume we're from different eras or even different species of humans?

Answer 3

I believe what the Bible teaches. Scientists over the centuries come up with theories and everyone jumps on the band wagon and then a few decades later they discover something new and the old theories are laughed out of existence. But the Word of God endures forever and has never been proved to be wrong.

Scientific dating methods are all based upon theories that come with presuppositions. Here's a link if you want to examine some of the many flaws with the theory of evolution.

Answer 4

Evolution hasn't found anything that contradicts the Bible.
All evidence that has been found that doesn't fit the evolutionary theory is systematically discarded. The most compelling evidence for evolution is either faked i.e. the piltdown man, or planted and miss classified to support a theory that is unprovable.

If you really are an evolutionist, Please look for yourself at the evidence that has convinced you. If it truly up-holds the theory, you win. I haven't found anything that stands up to scrutiny yet. Remember that grant money is given for proving new species not disproving the theories of evolution.
We also have to remember that there is great diversity within the human race and in the animal kingdom as well. Just don't make the same mistakes others have in making big leaps over small things.
I haven't been able to find anything on this fossil you speak of maybe you can define it better.

Answer 5

That's ridiculous. If you look at any event that has happened and calculate the odds of it happening in exactly that way they're going to be extremely long. Imagine a lottery with 10e40000 balls. Of course there are practical reasons why this is impossible, but just play along. And say that a single ball is to be selected. The chance of any particular ball being chosen is 10e40000 to 1. Which means there is a 100% chance of something virtually impossible happening. If you trace it back to the Big Bang, and if you assume all the same factors to be random that Hoyle did, then the chance of any specific event happening is incredibly small. You simply can't use statistics that way.

Answer 6

I don't know about "creationist" (?) but I'm Christian and if you think thats cool, they found skeletons/fossils of some common animals while they were digging for the gemstone "tanzanite" at the foot of Mt. Killa---whats a majig - mountain -you know the one, anyway, I love archeology - its one of my "hobby studies".
It sounds like you may have heard that group that goes around saying "The Bible states that this earth is only 6000 years old, and so evolution is wrong". Is that it?? You know, I really wish that if a person is unlearned in the Bible, that they just not say anything at all. They are well-meaning, they love God and believe that they are somehow responsible to fight for him even if their argument is senseless. But, I think God would rather they took a deep breathe and read that Bible one more time.
The Bible states not only that this earth is billions upon billions of years old, but that it is eons and eons old - so old, in fact, that there was an entire age before this one. I do my study in the manuscripts, and I assure you that there is absolutely no controversy between Gods Word and with true science. None.
When you read in Genesis of Adam and Eve - thats not the first creation of earth; it is a refurbishing of it to make it habitable for flesh life, since the war where satan rebelled and drew 1/3 of our people away - you know, when pride overtook him, and he rebelled - there was a great war. Anyway, Genesis 1 --
"In the beginning, God created the Heavens and the earth." - (there's a period after earth). Now when did it say God did that?
It didn't. Just "in the beginning". There is an entire earth age contained within that first verse. The manuscripts all but cement that fact. II Peter talks about all three earth ages. The one that was, the one that is now, and the one that is to come.
The Book of Revelation also talks about the age that was, the now, and the next one.
Anyway, sorry so wordy.

Answer 7

Modern science has admitted that their carbon dating methods have been found to be inaccurate. They have also found fault in their other theories describing the creation of the universe.
Now they have a "New" theory called "String Theory"
Science keeps claiming to have all the answers, later they admit their fault and try again. When it comes to explaining the universe or fossils science is based on theories, not fact.
The bibles account of creation has never changed and remains the only plausible account of creation to this day.
It is just like when science or medicine say that it is ok to eat this or that, or to drink this or that, only to say 20 years later...
OOPS, you shouldn't have been eating or drinking that after all.
It causes cancer. The thing that discredits many scientists is that they work for large entities that demand they do things their way. If they do not go along with their employers wishes, they will be fired and labeled a instigator. Scientists findings are based solely on what their employer wants them to find.
These scientists are puppets and only find or do what will make their employer happy.
They have familes to take care of and a mortgage to pay, just like anyone else. Their findings can be biased.
However, the Bible is unbiased and simply says: Prove me wrong. To this date, no one can refute creationism. People may disagree with creationism, but they have no hard proof to disprove it. I have much more to say and would be delighted to chat with you about it sometime, in a nice friendly conversation.
God Bless You....Peace.

Answer 8

I follow paleontology more so than evolution, they seem to be able to find fossils that are 500 million years old but the people studying evolution have a hard time finding fossils covering the last 100 thousand years.

I've recently been reading about fish forming fins and it took 100 million years for that, it makes me wonder how long it would take man to evolve from primates.

Answer 9

None of the Hominids that have been discovered are evidence of Evolution. In other words none are the link between Man and Ape. All findings so far have either been all Ape/Monkey, an extinct species of Ape/Monkey, or 100% Man. Yet Evolutionists say that these Man?Ape species wlaked the Earth for 100's of thousands of years. You would think we'd find evidence

No evidence has been found to support Evolution in the Fossil record. Not in plants, not in animals, nor in Dinosaurs. The Fossils are always the end species. Never the transitional.

Yet Evolutionsists choose to ignore these facts.

Answer 10

Two groups.

One group believes that these ancient humans arent gods specail human race. That these primitive mans evolved to a certaint point then god just killed them off and updated the model just slightly.

The other just thinks the world is really 6000 years old and carbon dating is false. Also that the dino's are less then 6000 years old, regardless of scientifical geological proof.

I dont know.

EDIT!!!!

No one is saying man came from ape, we aresaying man and ape came from the same sub species.
