There is abundant evidence within the geological column and elsewhere that challenges evolution. The Cambrian explosion with so many different phyla appearing suddenly without trace of ancestors; no transition forms from invertebrates to vertebrates; no evolutionary ancestor for dinosaurs,bats and a whole host of other creatures.

Then there is evidence that birds existed already when archaeopteryx was around, and scientists still have no plausible step by step explanation for how a lung with a diaphragm can change into an avian type lung or how a scale changes into a feather. Also, crawling creatures already existed when fishapods were supposedly evolving into land mammals. There are also significant problems with the alleged mammal to whale evolution with scientists unable to agree on which type of land mammal changed into a whale in the first place, taking liberties in drawing flippers and a tail fluke onto one of the “transitional” forms when the bone structure did not support evidence for either. This is modern day dogma, built on the bias of a pre-committment to naturalism at all costs.

a good find (when difficulty of such thing surviving makes them far more rare than bones)

but its thought that grains were gathered (made into ‘bread’) LONG before and them falling on the ground, sprouting and that fact being known/understood was what likely gave the idea for agriculture.

once you leraned how to plant it yourself, NEXT came improving the plants so that fewer grains fell to the ground while being harvested

More proof that academia is clueless. No one would start planting grains unless they knew what to make with it before hand

Exactly. Not possible that bread would not predate farming.

I once read a study that demonstrated that domesticating grain would take only 200 years (essentially selecting and separating husks that retained seeds longer).

“Because making bread is quite labor-intensive, and you don’t necessarily get a huge return for it.

He probably does not understand why we cook food either.

Raw grains are hard to eat, boiled grains (which have to be husked and cracked) do not last very long and are hard to carry. Husked and ground grain that is mixed with water, salt and baked is easy to eat, carry and lasts much longer.

The grinding would be the hardest part but they were not looking for King Arthur quality flour and it was a job that could be given to the children.

The only thing surprising about this is that they are surprised about it.

So this is the greatest thing before sliced bread.
