Yes indeed. We've found at least a dozen, probably more, species that were either direct ancestors of humans, or closely related, that went extinct for various reasons.
Someone who "believed in evolution" then turned to creationism didn't have a very good understanding of evolution in the first place. FACT.
And someone who believes in the Creation Event, but turns to evolution doesn't have a very good understanding of evolution, either.
No..Someone who "believed in evolution" then turned to creationism didn't have a very good understanding of evolution in the first place. FACT.
Just out of interest, which textbook(s) were you working from and which books by which authors did you read as additional research?No..
I took an entire class on Early humans and I did a lot of spare research just because it was something I was interested in.
And my ideas didn't just change over night they changed ver the course of three years.
What you have found, in my opinion, are the bones of human beings who have died of various deformities.
Blind faith? All the physical evidence infers common descent. None infers "creation and God."mmm
I believed in evolution for a while...
then I started noticing how often an article would pop up saying "MISSING LINK DISCOVERED!!!" and there'd be a large fuss over it, but it was just something tiny and insignificant, and then I started looking at how LARGE these "links" were, and to follow the path of evolution takes a lot more blind faith than following the path of creation and God.
Longest run-on sentence ever...
If there is evidence to support evolution, why do you claim it is an "assumption?"I'm a very level headed, logical guy.
I can see truth when it pokes its nose out and although there are some pieces of evidence to support evolution, it is still an assumption with much more guess work interlaced into it.
Faith in God, well thats just plain simple...
It's when people combine the two that things get haywire and I won't go too deep into that.
Funny how we are closer to chimpanzees genetically, then chimpanzees are to gorillas.There must be a lot more "leaps and bounds" to cross the chimp-gorilla gap then. You claim evolution occurs, but like most creationists you insist on setting artificial boundaries when it comes to the origin of our own species. That is nothing more than special pleading and arrogance.I will not deny that species on this planet evolve, because they most certainly do, whether it's to ward off predators, vestigial structures, more food, better survival, etc.
But the leaps and bounds it take to get from a chimp to a human, are enormous.
But you have got to imagine that there had to be even more species out there that were similar as well but didnt adapt in time and now they are extinct.
Perhaps they are what we are finding, when there is no actual linkage.
Its always gonna be an argument. Until Hellfire rains down upon this earth there is the greatest chance that there wont be any actual physical, tangible truth that tells the entire story without flaw or contradiction.

And yet we're called: man-kind.

Perhaps all of these potential links discovered from "lemurs or other primates" are too questionable to consider evidence at all.
I mean, the last article I remember reading was about a few bones from a foot or a hand. Exactly how much are you able to tell with that? You can't determine spine curvature, or skull structure, or the intelligence of the species.
Sure you might be able to determine how tall it was or its approximate weight.
But I think a lot of this evidence is mostly guesswork and followers easily buy into it because there seems to be more logic and possibility in it than creation.

Why not side with the evidence? Is there a reason to hold a concept with zero evidence in the same esteem as one with quite literally tons of evidence? There are plenty of theistic evolutionists, you know.I am not closed to the theory of evolution. I am certainly open to it. But I am also open to Creation, I do not believe in one more than the other, nor do I believe that they both happen, I just choose not to side on the issue.
Of course not. First you would have to define 'ultimate species'. We're simply one of many species. Yes, by our measure we are the most intelligent species, but what does that really mean from an evolutionary standpoint? It doesn't necessarily mean we are the most fit species.Like I said before, yes evolution does occur, but does it mean we are the ultimate species? Not exactly.
That's quite possible. But just because we may not know exactly where we came from doesn't invalidate the theory.There might be another completely different specimen out there that we actually decended from where as Homo Erectus and all the others might not have and eventually died out.
But we're working on it.We may never know the truth.
As can most of us. The truths (read: evidence) vastly outweigh the flaws when it comes to evolution.And I am a very complex thinker, which Is why I can easily accept both concepts and weigh them out in my mind. I can see the flaws and the truths in both ideas,
Feel free to do both. You'll learn more.I don't question science. I question what some of the scientists say.
Really? Didn't know they gave out degrees in high school.I mean, I'm studying to get a degree in Nuclear Physics.
Statements like this always worry me.And I am a very complex thinker
You're a graduate student in nuclear physics who stills believes in creationism?I mean, I'm studying to get a degree in Nuclear Physics.
