Ok, CURRENTLY the tide is turning toward sapiens with microcephaly, with the deformations as a result of...ground pressures. LATER, the tide’ll go some other species. Better paleontology than climatology, because at least in paleontology we still allow debate, no?
I really don’t keep up with creationist explanations for the fossil record. As best as I can tell, they only have three basic ones: they’re deformed humans (very common), they existed with man (and therefore man didn’t come from them), or they’re another ape with no relation to man.
It’s not science not because they don’t believe in evolution but because they reject even the possibly of it because of the bible.
And of course there is debate in paleontology but remember that extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence. There’s debate in physics too but you better bring some ironclad proof (and probably a gun) if you’re going to say the Earth doesn’t revolve around the sun.
We have in the fossil record a series of physiologically and chronologically differentiated fossils of apes that show a clear progression toward becoming more primitive and less intelligent the further we go into the past. A theory that excludes the idea that one comes from the other would have to account as to why that dispersion isn’t random in the record. Until creationists do that, they have no case.
