No pockets, so they had to keep lint somewhere.

True, it isn’t and that is one of its weaknesses, that the theory can only look back and claim to discover its operation after the fact, to interpret, not predict.

What utter garbage. Plenty of folks made it into modern times without developing the ability to write, ride horses, farm or build cities. The idea that such features follow a linear time frame is infantile at best and if it represents the best science that creationists have to offer then they won’t be offering a challenge to real science for some time.

The Evos are the ones that claim that we slowly evolved over millions of years in linear time. Creationists believe that man was created fully formed and fully functional, and if anything, that we have degenerated (both physically and mentally) since the time of Adam and Eve.

That’s a CS Lewis quote, FYI.

The evolutionary view, as you said, assumes that today’s man is more advanced than “ancient” man,

and by extension, that we are still evolving and that some are “more evolved” than others.

This leads directly into leftist ideology, where some “elites” are more advanced, morally and intellectually, and have a duty to shape society with their superior abilities.

Why yes. There should be an evolving of moral superiority too. More humaness as it were. Darwin was certain the morality of an Englishman like himself was much higher than the “primitive” dark skinned races.

As you say, the “smart” folks will take care of us, the reprobate masses.

oh happy day.

Another wilful misrepresentation.

Science has evidence to support the proposition that humans developed slowly over millions of years but that timeframe was punctuated by the development of mental and physical capabilities that allowed things like farming and city building. Nothing linear about it.

I suspect both you and the authors of the article you posted already knew that but have chosen to both misrepresent science and to ignore easily availble evidence of modern neolithic peoples to push a ludicrous argument.

I’m not aware of anything in the Bible that even suggests that lying for God is a good thing. Only the koran seems to allow that.

Since modern man doesn’t have a “soul”, if early man did, evolution decided it wasn’t really an advantage.

No it doesn’t. Darwood’s materialist creation myth is a religion that the Evos twist the data to give it the air of scientific credibility. We are not fooled. You may now return to pooring milk over your Darwin idols.

If that were really true, you wouldn’t need to lie to make a case against it.

The fact you are calling me a liar, makes you a liar. And judging by your other comments, you are also delusional, which makes you a deluded liar. You may now return to poring milk over your Darwin idols.

Lucy has been discredited. She turned out to be an ape after all.

Thousands of paleontologists would disagree with you on that.

It should be remembered that all of recorded human history, in which man went from stone tablets to interplanetary space flight, covers just 10,000 years.

Which is roughly 4,000 years longer than what Biblical creationism allows for, isn't it?
