If evolution is false, how do you reconcile this?

Question

Scientists have dug up the remains of animals that lived 75 million years ago.

They have yet to find remains of people from that period.

People exist now.

At what point were we "created" in the last ten thousand years?

I'm not trying to make anyone feel stupid, but I just want to know how creationists deal with each of these facts. Do you dispute some of these as "facts", and if so which ones and why?

Please keep the bibles closed on this one, folks.

Thanks!

Oh i see.. . .dispute the whole 75 million year idea. Dinosaurs are between 15 thousand and 4500 years old. Gotcha!

Answer 1

Carbon dating is not accurate after about 15,000 years....so why would I feel stupid?

Answer 2

well, since you demanded that I keep my Bible closed......I think that human remains of months to a year look the same as remains from animals from "75 million" years ago. Explain how a scientist came up with the number of years. It sounds just as silly to me to here somone say that they found things millions of years old, but things that are not as old, when found, look like they are in the same shape. Wouldn't something very old be in not so great shape than something found a few hundred or thousand years ago?

Answer 3

Shield of faith?? Liar!!

I am not searching farther to find a commentary on your posting. When I located your source as Answers in Genesis I was suspicious. I have pestered other researchers about stuff they were quoted as saying by That Liar, Ken Ham.
I also love how you jokers never post your sources.

" I'd never heard of Swindon Wiltshire until I read your e-mails. And since you mentioned it twice, I thought I'd do some research on the geology of that site in England.

The nearest thing I found resembling your quote was a brief article on the Answers in Genesis Web site. But when I read about Swindon Wiltshire on geology Web sites, I couldn't find anything unusual about the fossil specimens except for their fine preservation.

You said that the "bivalves still have their original organic ligaments." But this article in the New Scientist says, "Neville Hollingworth of the Natural Environment Research Council in Swindon has found a fossil of Sigaloceras calloviense whose outer shell has dissolved away to reveal the outline of adductor muscles and tentacles in the honey-coloured calcite inside." That doesn't describe unfossilized organic ligaments!

If you want to read more about Swindon Wiltshire's geology, here's a picture of the fossil ammonites Neville Hollingworth found; here's an article about the Upper Jurassic Kimmeridge Clay where he found them; here's an abstract from the 43rd annual meeting of the Paleontological Association's Ghosts of Ammonites Past; its 44th annual meeting on Ammonite Soft Body Preservation and Functional Morphology; Neville Hollingworth's personal Web page; and his fellow collector Mark O'Dell's Web page.

It astonishes me how much your creationist summaries wildly disagree with their supposed sources."

Answer 4

I don't doubt that animal bones from wayyyyyyyyyyy back have been discovered..I do doubt the length of time scientists say they have been buried for..or how old they say the earth is..that is their opinion based on mans decision as to what they measure it by. Humans have been founf..mummies etc..lots of things have been founf..even from back in bible times. I think science is good too..but I think man has made the 'measuring stick' to go by. There are lots of things from science that christians do not doubt...there are some things we do doubt because of historical records and such. I kept my bible closed....
I think that we are all entitled to our opinions and we are also entitled to believe evidence that we feel is right..lots of artefacts etc and buildings dug up from towns and cities in bible times....
There are some things that 'evolve'...trees etc...lots of things change from what they originally were to what they are now.
Creationism believes in a supreme God who, although it sounds weird to many..created everything.
Others believe in some theory that something came from absolutely nothing..noone to invent it..it just happened with no inventor..no nothing.
If you look at both things..to many they both sound weird..I for one believe that there should always be an inventor..a designer.... because there is no way you can get something out of absolutely nothing. ..not unless there was an 'inventor'.
However we are all entitled to agree to disagree.

Answer 5

What "facts" are you talking about. What most people consider to be facts are merely theories. Scientist unearth new evidence continually. What was consider a fact a few years ago is today's myths. The world and our attitude towards it is continually evolving. So what. Maybe this earth was merely colonized.

Answer 6

I'm not sure why people are afraid to believe the obvious. I find evolution answers many things. Especially ourpropensity towards violence.

Have you ever watched Jane Goodall's research films on the chimps? They too engaged in war when their resources became scarce. How revealing is that?

If we saw ourselves as evolved animals, perhaps we would be more honest about our nature.

Answer 7

How do you reconcile the Cambrian explosion? Very few organisms, and then suddenly you have a multitude of advanced and modern creatures. It turns Darwin's tree of life upside down when Darwin expressly wrote Evolution must be a slow process, but the Cambrian explosion makes his argument implode, pun intended.

Answer 8

we werent created in 10 thousand earliest humans were 2 million. Humans being 2 legs brain and still developing

Answer 9

Science and religion must always be in harmony with each other.
The problem resides in the method of interpretation of what is written on the holly writings.

Answer 10

You are exercising your faith in those science books to no less extent than a Christian in a Bible or a Muslim in the Koran. Would YOU know a 75 million year old fossil from a 2000 year old fossil by looking at it? If not, you are trusting someone else's word.

Answer 11

Who started evolution though?
even scientists can't completely understand the combustion of the universe.
how did everything get in the right spots

Have you ever heard of "first cause"?
