How come humans have not evolved into a higher species?

Give us time. Environmental pressure does speed things up and humanity will experience a whole lot of that in the next few centuries.

Since the fall humans have been de-evolving.

Hi, Daniel
Because they are actually devolving. The Industrial Revolution and Atomic and Information Ages have caused a temporary increase in lifespan but sinful human nature has already begun to cause a recession or nadir. In other words, we've outsmarted ourselves into getting sicker, earlier on, again.

After the creation of Adam and Eve......then the fall...human DNA has been bombarded with mutations that over time have reeked havic on our DNA.

I could use an extra pair of hands.

The Genesis accounts of origins and human longevity certainly indicate the opposite of what is called evolutionary biology.

Generally speaking the average life expectancy has been increasing over the last few centuries due primarily to better nutrition and improved medical care. The increases have been most dramatic in underdeveloped countries. Recent studies indicate that there may be an upper limit to human lifespan of about 120 years.

Just yesterday I made a presentation to a 100 year old veteran. He is quite remarkable. He lives alone in his own home, cooks his own meals, does his own shopping, does several crossword puzzles each day, bowls twice a week, curls in the winter and still holds a driving license. But he is now almost totally deaf because he was an artillery officer during the war. He is our third centenarian in the local branch of the Royal Canadian Legion.

Life is also much easier physically. In days past people just wore themselves out doing heavy labor.

Good word, bro!

I think two hundred years, is about enough time for something to develop, don't you?

Sadly, I think you will just be told "Evolution takes billions of years"...

Define "higher species" please.

 

[Gottservant]

Define "higher species" please.

What about "as higher in specie to humans, as humans are said to be to apes"?

Didn't we make that jump since Messiah rose?

 

[Gottservant]

Didn't we make that jump since Messiah rose?

Tough question.

You would find Evolutionists objecting that "we never claimed it, when the Messiah was here"?

What was all that "new creature" talk then...?

 

[Gottservant]

Oh sure: "creature", but no logical step from there to "specie".

I know I am picking at straws, but we are known for Christ, not what we do through Him.

To be known for being a radical extension of Christ, in the sense of a new "specie", the new commandment that we love one another would be burdensome, I think (as in, its not that we couldn't, just that its not worth the effort).

Do you think that an AI that accomplishes its directives is somehow not worthy of esteem?

Because we did not and are not evolving. God made mankind the best that he/she could be and we have been going downhill ever since.

1 Corinthians 15
42 Our earthly bodies are planted in the ground when we die, but they will be raised to live forever. 43 Our bodies are buried in brokenness, but they will be raised in glory. They are buried in weakness, but they will be raised in strength. 44 They are buried as natural human bodies, but they will be raised as spiritual bodies.

Genesis is no "recent study" Genesis 6:3 So the LORD said, "My Spirit will not contend with man forever, for he is mortal; his days shall be 120 years." - "My Spirit will not contend with humans forever, for they are mortal; their days will be a hundred and twenty years." Genesis 6:3
