ConsiderTheProbabilities.com is an attempt to objectively, honestly, and logically discuss the much-debated subject of creation versus evolution.
There was no challenge. There was only a polemic.
Yes my Great, great, great, great. great grandpa had a pet dinosaur named Phil.
Was there a test or just objective things like mankind perishes without procreation between a man and woman within a generation?
If people evolved from apes, why are there still apes? And why isn’t that ape-to-man transitioning still occurring?
In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth. -- Genesis 1:1 And that settles it.
If America broke away from England, why does England still exist? You need to learn better arguments.
If Americans are descended from Europeans, why are there still Europeans?
As for ape-to-man, I would point out that humans are apes, superfamily Hominoidea, family Hominidae (orangutans, gorillas, chimpanzees, bonobos and humans)

What a mess.
Evolution doesn’t necessarily extinct a species, i.e. dogs from wolves. Both still exist. Dogs came from wolves. That’s just one of so many examples.
The probability that even one amino acid molecule came into existence absent an external, initiating, guiding, creating intelligence is quite enough for me.
Dogs didn’t evolve, they are the product of selective breedings.
Really? There are no transitional fossils, they have created ape men from pigs teeth, fake skulls (piltdown man, nebraska man, peiking man. All fake and that is the whole reason why there is no grounds for those who think that evolution is real. Just a junk science created by the atheist. Pumped into the skulls of the kids and college crowd for the last hundred years. No evolving apes, no crap that we evolved from fish. The quote about why there is still Europeans because they are human beings. Darwinism was junk science and those that followed it were idiots.
The questions are dumb. They’re like asking, “Our computers—hard disks, monitors, sound cards—require electricity to operate. The developmental stop in computers just before the discovery of electricity was:..” Just because a bunch of things are all present in one system doesn’t mean they all developed at once.
Piltdown man was a hoax—one uncovered by evolutionary scientists.
Nebraska man was a mistake, not a fake, and was retracted after only five years.
Peking man is not a fake.
And there are, of course, many examples besides those three.
Wrong verse; that says nothing about man. Indeed the biggest problem with evolution in the human realm (i.e. relations & worldviews) is that it destroys the what of what man really is: a special creation, formed in the very image of God.
Gen. 1:26-31
Then God said, “Let us make humankind in our image, according to our likeness; and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the birds of the air, and over the cattle, and over all the wild animals of the earth, and over every creeping thing that creeps upon the earth.”
So God created humankind in his image,
in the image of God he created them;
male and female he created them.
God blessed them, and God said to them, “Be fruitful and multiply, and fill the earth and subdue it; and have dominion over the fish of the sea and over the birds of the air and over every living thing that moves upon the earth.” God said, “See, I have given you every plant yielding seed that is upon the face of all the earth, and every tree with seed in its fruit; you shall have them for food. And to every beast of the earth, and to every bird of the air, and to everything that creeps on the earth, everything that has the breath of life, I have given every green plant for food.” And it was so. God saw everything that he had made, and indeed, it was very good. And there was evening and there was morning, the sixth day.
Not only that, but it says that everything that he had made (which includes man) was very good. (How many environmentalists seem to have the idea/attitude that man is terrible WRT "the environment"?) Thus you see that evolution, even the "deistic evolution" embraced by some (Catholics, IIRC) wherein God uses evolution to develop the creatures (and man) strips man of this fundamental attribute: that He is specially made, in the image of God.
Punctuated Equilbrium is/was intended to account or the absence of a fossil record for transitional stages in evolution. It is a very convenient theory developed by wicked smart guys and designed to patch up a few holes and shut other people up.
What does a governmental transition have to do with an 'evolutionary' transition?
Animals that are bred are usually distinct individuals (dogs, cats, cattle, etc.) but wild animals are usually very hard to tell from each other of their species. Now, humans are individualistic whereas apes and monkeys are not. What does that tell us?
Lesser humans are the link between man and his primate ancestors. Some men are simply more evolved than others.
If evolution is ongoing (and by definition, it must be), this has to be the case.
And if some men are more evolved than others, the advanced, civilized man must claim dominion over the lesser, savage man for the good of society and the species.
