Evolutionists! Do you still think that there was no intelligence in creating humankind?

Question

...shows that two species of early human ancestors lived at the same time in Kenya. That pokes holes in the chief theory of man's early evolution — that one of those species evolved from the other.
And it further discredits that iconic illustration of human evolution that begins with a knuckle-dragging ape and ends with a briefcase-carrying man

Answer 1

It doesn't disprove anything, it's just another clue.

Answer 2

Duh! Of course they co-existed.

When an animal evolves, they all don't evolve. Its a slow gradual process of change over time.

Thats like saying why are there still Asians when other people are Black.

Or better yet.. its like saying.. why are there still monkeys around? We are definitely more evolved than they are.. they should be gone by now!

Or another example would be squirrels and prarie dogs. They are the same species with a few differences. How can they co-exist at the same time?

Or ponies and horses.

Or the different species of whales.

Or different species of birds.

Or reptiles.

Or alligators.

Or crocodiles.

If anything, this proves that evolution did occur and the two species co-existed for some time (not necessarily together) in the area before one become more dominant and spread to other locations. Also, just because one evolves/changes/adapts more and becomes a more "fit" species doesn't mean the other one drops off the face of the planet.

Answer 3

I've said it before and I'll say it again: Evolution and creation are both just theories, and neither one has concrete evidence proving it to be true. Yes it is curious that there is no continuous stream of progression from ape to man, which makes evolution seem wrong. However the existence of proto-humans and pre-human ancestors pokes holes in the idea that man was simply created.

All evidence supporting evolution or creation is circumstantial, and a person of even moderate intelligence can spin it to serve their own agenda. Ultimately it's up to each of us to decide which we want to believe, though it is highly unwise to accept either as a hard fact without allowing for the possibility that we may be proven wrong. Nobody benefits from a closed mind.

Answer 4

Are you asking people who believe everything evolved by itself if now they might accept there was a PLAN, REASON, and THOUGHT to when and what was, and is, here relating to humans? THAT would mean a HIGHER INTELLIGENCE created humans, NOT that humans created themselves.

I believe EVERYTHING that once was, and is here now, is part of a master plan put in to motion by an EXTREME higher intelligence that humans cannot possibly comprehend - I cannot say this intelligence was ever, or is now, HUMAN, but I rather doubt it. It appears humans are an experiment and always have been.

Science will ALWAYS find new and conflicting evidence, and I have no doubt they find things that we never hear about. I wish I could be alive when the TRUTH is finally revealed!!!

Answer 6

Apparently you don't know how to read an entire article other than the headline either. Try referring back to that link and read the article in its entirety and be sure not to miss this part:

Susan Anton, a New York University anthropologist and co-author of the Leakey work, said she expects anti-evolution proponents to seize on the new research, but said it would be a mistake to try to use the new work to show flaws in evolution theory.

"This is not questioning the idea at all of evolution; it is refining some of the specific points," Anton said. "This is a great example of what science does and religion doesn't do. It's a continous self-testing process."

Answer 7

Don't try to poke holes in something you don't understand, silly goose. This doesn't disprove evolution in the slightest bit. Not at all. Rather, it supports it. When a creature evolves, such as homo habilis into homo erectus, the whole population does not need to evolve. If one group of a species as an isolated gene pool, and occupies a significantly different niche, then it might evolve into a separate species given enough time. Homo erectus was probably separated from homo habilis, evolved to eat more meat, and once it was a separate species, made its way back into homo habilis areas.

Answer 8

Well that article seems to support the theory of evolution. In fact it is actually more proof that evolution is real and "creationism" is a joke. If there was one intelligent design why were there so many species that had similar characteristics to humans in existence. Wouldnt there be just humans and nothing before us?

Answer 9

Idiot. From the article: Susan Anton, a New York University anthropologist and co-author of the Leakey work, said she expects anti-evolution proponents to seize on the new research, but said it would be a mistake to try to use the new work to show flaws in evolution theory.

"This is not questioning the idea at all of evolution; it is refining some of the specific points," Anton said. "This is a great example of what science does and religion doesn't do. It's a continous self-testing process."

READ.

Answer 10

The knuckle dragging stuff you are referring to would still be in the process. Just because something was found that alters how we thought we evolved, doesn't change the fact that we evolved. Tell me, how does this not hurt the argument that God created us first, and then everything else. If anything, this only hurts your argument.

Answer 11

In the same article from the question:

"This is not questioning the idea at all of evolution; it is refining some of the specific points," Anton said. "This is a great example of what science does and religion DOESN'T do. It's a continous self-testing process." (emphasis added)

As long as human males continue excreting waste (urine) and life-giving fluid (semen) out of the same hole, I doubt I'll be convinced humans were "intelligently designed," sorry, lol.
