I don't agree with that either. I think Homo Sapiens did suddenly appear 250,000 years ago and I have no idea why. It was divine? I don't know, but it was no evolutionary process.
The general concensus is that Cro Magnon, the first form of homo sapiens, appeared around 45K years ago and he appeared with his technologies and artwork fully formed from day one.
Now, you could either believe that God created Cro Magnon man here on Earth at that time, or you could go looking for saltation theories which I don't really want to get into here other than to note that no saltation theory (man from elsewhere) does anything for evolution since the laws of mathematics and probability work the same way everywhere else in the universe as they do here.
But the hell of it is this. If you want to believe in saltations, then you need at least two of them, i.e. for Cro Magnons, and then again for the Bible antediluvians. The two groups were genetically and biologically the same or close enough to neglect any differences, but the cultures and technologies were totally different. Adam and Eve and their relatives were metal technology people from day one while some of the Cro Magnon descendants went on using stone tools until very recently when they were forced out of it by neighboring peoples.
Two mental notes you might want to make... One is that the question of evolution is basically ORTHOGONAL to any sort of a question of left vs right politics; the evolosers on conservative forums like FR and those on DU or any leftard forum are indistinguishable when discussing evolution, there is no test you could devise which could differentiate them. The other mental note which I’ve made is that you will encounter people who appear to be paid shills or propagandists on these forums, and who just keep on like the energizer rabbit no matter what sort of logic or well-reasoned arguments anybody might ever provide them with. There’s no test you could devise, for instance, which could differentiate our exdemmom here from Tokyo Rose or Axis Sally if one of them were being tasked to simply put out the party line for evolution and evoloserism on a perpetual basis.
