I am sorry to burst your bubble, but there are animals today who use tools.
We know that these ancestors existed and had hands with which they could have made tools.
Man was created, not produced by a monkey lineage. That is sick imagination.We know that no other lineage on Earth produced animals that were able to create tools. So yes, it's easy to deduce that whichever ancestors were around at the time made the tools. As you said, it's not like aliens made them.
Get out more.I don't think I know a single Christian who disagrees with evolution or thinks that it conflicts with Christianity, so I don't see your point.
I don't deny evolution. It is merely a created trait that God gave Adam and creatures. There was no evolution of mankind before Adam though. That is pagan nonsense.There's no need to deny evolution. It's not a threat to you. Theistic evolutionists fully embrace the concept of God's will guiding Creation and the evolution of mankind.
Termites make their mounds to form air conditioning via air currents. Their building skills definitely surpass those of a human, and they do it on instinct. But I was thinking of apes, birds, and dolphins, which actually shape and reuse tools they make.
God's amazing creation. But I can tell an ant house from a man made house. I can tell a clovis arrow head from a rock someone teaches a monkey to smash nuts with.
All you need is to reach a certain point of intelligence to create such tools. It seems this point was reached earlier than we thought.Having hands does not make one Einstein.
Correct, we not are descended from monkeys. We share common ancestors with them. It would indeed be a gross error to teach that we are descended from monkeys.Man was created, not produced by a monkey lineage. That is sick imagination.
I'm talking about my peers at a Catholic university, and also my Catholic high school. Majority are Catholic. Most are Christian. And I get out plenty.Get out more.
Then, when our intelligence grows and grows and grows and grows, until millennia later, we have the Internet, we can get on it and complain that some countries are lagging behind others in science.All you need is to reach a certain point of intelligence to create such tools.
I don't think I know a single Christian who disagrees with evolution or thinks that it conflicts with Christianity,
No, that's not why. I've only been gone for a few months. I go to Catholic school/university. I'm fairly confident of the ratio of Creationists to "evolutionists" among the Christians that I know.That's because you are currently outside of the US. Wait until you get back home.
It seems the United States gave the world the Internet just in time to find out the United States is some 26th place in the area of smarts.
Until I do, my point stands.I think you will find that the web was invented by a Briton working at CERN.
True, but the Internet itself isn't going to let you know how the US ranks in academics, so we assumed you meant the WWW.The world wide web is the Internet now, is it?
When did that happen?

How does that mitigate my point?Without the web the internet wouldn't be one tenth as important as it is today.
Meaning you assume I meant Sir Tim Berners-Lee, instead of Dan Quayle; and the Britons, instead of us Yankees?True, but the Internet itself isn't going to let you know how the US ranks in academics, so we assumed you meant the WWW.
How does that mitigate my point?
