Yeah, God made them from the dust of the earth as He told us He did in Genesis. So, scientists have made up explanations about where they think that extinct bipedal apes came from? Big deal.
Or a reason as to why God thought it necessary to create them? Or what function they served?
Fine. You criticize creationism for not having answers to those questions. What's science's answer to those questions? Why did they evolve? What function did they serve?
As I have repeatedly tried to impress upon you to obviously no discernible effect; the scientific explanation is of USE.
Exactly what scientific use is there in the *scientific* explanation of where bipedal apes came from? How does that affect future research? How does that affect anyone's every day life? What does it help scientists predict about the next stage in evolutionary development? What's mankind's next stage in evolution?
I too was made “from the dust of the Earth”, and to that “dust” I shall return. But I was also made via cellular processes involving DNA.
Was I any less made “from the dust” than Adam?
Why is it OK for “from the dust” to be metaphoric in my case, with an underlying explainable physical process; but not in the case of Adam?
Science doesn't postulate motivations for God. As to the function of a bipedal ape, usually they seem to think one of their primary functions is the production of MORE bipedal apes. And they evolved into bipedalism because there was a reproductive advantage for those traits at that time. Just as all things unfold in the fullness of time according to God's will.
As to the use of a scientific explanation of evolution through natural selection of genetic variation; it is used every day in assessing the relevance of model species, in industrial settings to produce enzymes of use, in developing new drugs and combating drug resistance in pathogenic microbes.
Science produces real world value.
Nothing of any value is ever produced using creationism.
