But you are missing the point. When you question a scientific theory you need to bring scientific evidence, not religious belief, as creation "science" does.

That's just it, however. To actually believe all of this evolutionist nonsense, one basically has to suspend disbelief and approach the matter from the perspective of simple, blind faith.

For instance, there is no reason - none in the world - to think that the cladogram which you posted has any relevance to anything at all. It's just some palaeontologist arranging a variety of human and primate skulls, in various states of quality, into a structure that he or she thought looked like it fit together, assuming the unproven evolutionist paradigm. The actual dates given, as well as the actual arrangement of supposed evolutionary ancestors and descendants, have no actual, independent relevance. The whole structure is based on circular reasoning.

Bravo for your amazing ability to wave away a century of biology, geology, paleontology, physics and chemistry to name a few of the sciences involved in determining that progression of skulls.

How you can do that *poof* just like that is really incredible. Oh sure, you threw in your creationist "circular reasoning" talking point without any sort of nod to the facts behind the chart. Or, for that matter, any sort of explanation why those non H. sapiens skulls exist at all.

I figure you have a few options to answer that:

1. They're all fakes and scams
2. They're all failed "designs" of the Designer
3. They all still exist somewhere, we just haven't found them yet.
4. Satan placed them in the strata to deceive and confuse the less faithful
5. They are exactly what the chart says they are, but my particular brand of Christianity does not allow me to accept that.

I'm curious - which one?
