christians and such... what do you think about....?

Question

the skulls that they dig up and find that were just before humans.... what do you believe they are since you dont believe in evolution ?

Answer 1

You aren't going to change the minds of religious nuts. Their whole thing is believing without evidence or proof. So when you offer them evidence or proof, they are just going to ignore it and wave their 2000 year old pieces of parchment in your face and say... "You are going to hell, because our loving god send people there all the time!"

Wacky stuff, huh?

Answer 2

Skeptics and such ... human artifacts appear throughout the geologic column. Man-made artifacts – such as a hammer in Cretaceous rock, a human sandal print with trilobite in Cambrian rock, human footprints and a hand print in Cretaceous rock – point to the fact that all the supposed geologic periods actually occurred at the same time in the recent past.

Answer 3

The knee joint of "Lucy" (Australopithecus afarensis) was discovered in the Fall of 1973 near Hadar in the Afar Triangle of Ethiopia over a mile away and 200 feet deeper than the other bones (uncovered in Oct. 1974) --which Johanson incredibly claims to have belonged to the same individual!! Actually, the ulna:humerus ratio of these bones is 92.5%, well within the range of true ape [chimpanzee (95%) vs. human (80%)]. In addition, the valgus angle (i.e., a measure of the extent that the leg above the knee bends outward or laterally) of Johanson's 1974 bones is about 15 degrees, which is indicative of a strong tree climber like an orangutan or spider monkey. Professional concensus as to "Lucy's" identity now favors that of arboreal ape, not an ape-to-man hominid intermediate.

Answer 4

I DO believe in evolution. I'm also a Christian. That's not an unusual combination, except for certain parts of the USA, particularly the South.

I just wanted to throw some links in to counter the people who think this australopithicus afarenses research is all based on only one bone from one individual.
There are a lot of bones discovered from a lot of individual creatures.
I myself am not convinced that the species was an ancestor of humans. It might have been related without being family.

However I also think that some mention should be made about the doubful character of Dr(?) Carl Baugh. His degree is in bible studies only. He is the perpetrator of the Paluxy Creek man/dinosaur tracks hoax. He is the fabricator of "creation" hexagonal water.

More about Baugh, since he seems to have a following here.
this is from Wikipedia.
In his 1992 book, Panorama of Creation, Baugh claims that a layer of metallic hydrogen surrounded the early earth. Furthermore, he professes that hexagonal water, or, "Creation water" as he calls it, is capable of healing. Such claims were addressed by scientists as pseudoscience[2], and his theories and degrees are not accepted in academia.[4]

Creationists, such as Answers in Genesis have criticized Baugh's claims [5]

'"Baugh's claim to have found human and dinosaur footprints together in rocks near the Paluxy River has been proven false by various studies in several scientific discplines. Massimo Pigliucci, citing various volumes of research wrote "there is no controversy surrounding the prints, only the creationists' stubborn refusal to bow to the evidence."[6]

Baugh has claimed several degrees, at one point professing to earning three doctorates.[7] All three "doctorates" are from unaccredited "schools." One is an honorary "Doctor of Philosophy in Theology" from the California Graduate School of Theology (not accredited). His 1989 "doctorate" comes from Pacific International University (not accredited), a distance education only "school" Baugh was the president of. His a dissertation titled "Academic Justification for Voluntary Inclusion of Scientific Creation in Public Classroom Curricula, Supported by Evidence that Man and dinosaurs were Contemporary" was been reviewed as including "descriptions of his field-work on the Paluxy river "man-tracks", speculation about Charles Darwin's religious beliefs and phobias, and odd ramblings about the biblical Adam's mental excellence."[1] In 2005, Baugh completed a Doctorate degree in Theology from the unaccredited Louisiana Baptist University."'

Answer 6

Evolution is nothing more than a theory, no matter how many skulls are dug up. In the Genesis account of creation, all life reproduces after its kind. That is a fact.

Answer 7

Haven't seen any of them. I would say that 20 or more would be evidence of something but one or two could be genetic anomalies.

Darwin said that if his theory were true we would find hundreds of links between species in the fossil record. We have not.

I am not rabidly anti evolution just skeptical.

Answer 8

Well, I believe in the Bile record. That kind of stuff is not in my mind a lot. If we evolved, that is not the big deal to me. The main thing is that God loves us and want to spend eternity with us.

Answer 9

500 hundred years from now they find the skeleton of a pair of loined twins and they will say it's evoloution.

Answer 10

How do we really know that they came before humans?

Carbon dating is flawed......and so is evolution

Evolution is simply man's excuse for denying the one true God of all creation
