OK we are descended from Fish, the proof is in the womb. We are also descended from Apes the proof is in our tailbone. The link from species to to Humans is in small steps, some that we have found, some we are still looking for. We learn more all the time.
It was thought that
Lucy proved we walked upright because by that time the trees had mostly gone, so walking upright was the only option .
Then we found
Ardi. In an area covered in Forests. Ardi was both walking upright and able to climb trees.
The earliest member of the genus
Homo is
Homo habilis which evolved around 2.8 million years ago.
Homo habilis is the first species for which we have positive evidence of the use of stone tools. Not using stones as tools, they were
making stones into tools by napping.
The first migrations out of Africa. About 2 million years ago, the first of our ancestors moved northwards from their homelands and out of Africa.
Homo ergaster may have been the first human species to leave Africa and fossil remains show this species had expanded its range into southern
Eurasia by 1.75 million years ago. Their descendents,
Homo erectus, then spread eastward and were established in South East Asia by at least 1.6 million years ago.
By 100,000 years ago, humans had dispersed and diversified into at least three species. Our own species, Homo sapiens, lived in
Africa and the
Middle East,
Homo neanderthalensis lived in
Europe, and
Homo floresiensis in southern
Asia. DNA from human remains in Denisova cave,
Russia, suggest a probable fourth species was also still extant when
Homo sapiens was migrating through southern
Asia about 60,000 years ago. Modern
Melanesians have about 4% of this DNA. The species is unknown, but may be late surviving
Homo heidelbergensis or a yet-to-be-discovered species. This diversity disappeared about 28,000 years ago, however, and only one human species now survives.
And I'm barely scratching the surface. And you believe this.
Genesis 1:27 The Sixth Day: Creatures on Land
Then God said, "
Let Us make man in Our image, according to Our likeness; and let them rule over the fish of the sea and over the birds of the sky and over the cattle and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creeps on the earth." 27God created man in His own image, in the image of God He created him; male and female He created them.
28 God blessed them; and God said to them, "Be fruitful and multiply, and fill the earth, and subdue it; and rule over the fish of the sea and over the birds of the sky and over every living thing that moves on the earth."
Well it seems he had a lot of goes at making Man in his image. The bit about cattle is a lie, as is the bit about us ruling fish, birds, creepy things and the Earth. Do you see the difference between bible evidence and the real thing? We don't have to draw pictures, we have bones and tools.
If they had contact with god, god couldn't of told them a better version.
I don't need a lot of knowledge, the bible is easy to quote from. Science isn't about one book, it's about 1,000s of them and when they get it wrong, they let everyone know. That's why now with the Internet I can do all this.
And why this has been done 1,000s of times. By real scientists, we don't need to do another one.
1. Prove the Bible is wrong on your own.
2. Present your findings.
3. Wait for peer review on your findings.
4. Analyse the feedback.
5. Do controlled experiments.
6. Summarize the results of your controlled experiments on The Bible.
And yes in science some are cleverer than other. Otherwise they wouldn't of needed Oppenheimer or Von Braun. Anyone in the field could do it.
Your turn to link to your evidence.
