  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

Please explain! Caveman, evolution etc

If the very first creation looked like we do today, why are there so many different looking people. I don't mean different race, specifically tribal people.

I'm also just assuming Adam and Eve looked like we do today, if I am right, why did God also create very different looking people like Homo habilis and cavemen etc.

I'm sorry if it's a silly question, I'm very curious though.

Where does it say that Adam and Eve looked just like we do today? I notice that no one (so far) looks just like I do, so there is that.

If the first two humans with living souls happened to be H. erectus, what difference would it make?

I don't see that it would matter. I suspect that H. erectus people were just and kind and evil as we are.

There is a scope with existing genetic info that can allow living things to adapt. But that scope is limited to only certain features which have already been determined as most suitable for most conditions faced by organisms.

This is an extremely important point. Every organism is constrained by things that went on before. It would be, given the way most of us live today, very useful to have a second set of arms. But there was no useful or even non-harmful transitional steps, so it's not going to happen.

Thanks for bringing that up.

It's like I said "there is no ape,human,alien,ape"

Once an Evolutionist makes what he thinks is progress, you have a dickens of a task to get him to give it up.

He (the Evolutionist) can't see a reason to give it up, despite Hell or high water.

Hi there,

I'm hoping someone can explain this to me so I can understand it better.

God created Adam and Eve, I'm guessing they looked like us? If that's the case where does evolution fit in?

If the very first creation looked like we do today, why are there so many different looking people. I don't mean different race, specifically tribal people.

I'm also just assuming Adam and Eve looked like we do today, if I am right, why did God also create very different looking people like Homo habilis and cavemen etc.

I'm sorry if it's a silly question, I'm very curious though.

Thank you!
I believe this happened at the time of Noah. When the sons of God mated with women. That where the different races and different looking people came from. There was never a caveman era.
