Nebraska Man: What's Wrong with this Picture?

[AV1611VET]

Most scientists working in the field at that time thought so too.

And yet he got one anyway, didn't he?

How many other "missing links" exist that have been prematurely labeled?

If Nebraska Man was a hoax, it was masterminded by Satan.

The hoax is driven by creationists. You sure you want to claim Satan as your muse?

I'm wondering if those horses belong in there too.

Camel, horse and people are all mammals. The dinosaurs had to go extinct before Mammals could begin to increase because the atmosphere is different. The only dinosaurs still around are alligators and turtles. They both require very wet conditions to survive and prosper. Also they both continue to grow larger all their life and they live a long life.

The opening of your paragraph is... it's very weird. I get what you're trying to say, but you've said it in such a weird way.

Turtles and alligators (and tortoises and crocodiles) aren't dinosaurs. They're reptiles. And not every species just keeps growing throughout their lives. There are dwarf species of crocodile and alligator, and also small species of turtles and tortoises.

Birds.

The point is the dinosaurs had to die before the mammals or primates could evolve. This happened around 64 million years ago. We all had the same beginning. We all evolved from pond scum. That I am sure is weird. That is the cycle of life. We go from the simple to the more complex. Even though the elements remain the same.

100 years ago. You are digging pretty deep to come up with anything to substantiate your beliefs. People make mistakes. Evolutionists and Creationists. We are stuck in the Human condition and we look for ways to avoid making any errors in life.

The dinosaurs didn't HAVE to die out for mammals could evolve further. They were on their way to extinction anyway without the asteroid strike. Humans could have just evolved at a later date, or just evolved that little bit differently if dinosaurs still existed.

We also don't go from simple to complex. The argument from complexity is one fraught with serious misgivings and subjective viewpoints.

But it wasn't a hoax.

Piltdown Man was a hoax.

 

[AV1611VET]

But it wasn't a hoax.

Then it wasn't masterminded by Satan, was it?

Piltdown Man was a hoax.

Okay.

 

[Warden_of_the_Storm]

If it was masterminded by Satan, and then proven to be wrong using actual science and evolutionary science to boot, then by that logic, evolution is God-given.

MICRO-evolution.

 

[Warden_of_the_Storm]

MICRO-evolution.

But still evolution. And in your scenario, since evolutionary science proved the hoax, driven by Satan, to be wrong, then evolution is a God-given science, thus does not go against His word or action, since God cannot and will not create something that goes against His word or action. Correct?

Humans and dinosaurs require different climate conditions. There are people who are experts on this and they have the air bubble in ice core samples so we know exactly what the atmosphere was at the time of Pangea.

Yes, modern humans as we know them require a different climate to what dinosaurs did.
But evolution could just have easily meant that humans could have evolved in a similar if not outright the same climate as the dinosaurs did.

Crocodiles and turtles require a very wet environment. We do manage to live together with them today though.

God-given science,

If the evidence comes from God why do infidels feel they have a right to explain the evidence?
