It was inevitable. The anti-evolutionists are as divorced from reality as the anti-Trumpers.
The human species is apparently older than 200,000. At least 100,000 years older apparently. But the remains of these “modern” Homo Sapiens clearly bear primitive traits and are not as refined as contemporary humans and 300,000 is hardly a flicker in the millions of years of existence the earth has enjoyed.
But even this, the anti-evolutionists will challenge. They will try to count generations in the Bible and ignore physical and scientific facts there also. The Bible is not a science text and reducing its significance to that level is insulting. Its not a history book, although it contains history. Its a book about God, written by God through men, and His relationship to man, the failure of mankind to live up to His expectations, the promise of a Savior and redemption. Far more important than how bodies of animals developed, in my opinion.
These people can be given some degree of tolerance as there are some evolutionists who are atheists and claim evolution proves the Bible wrong and ergo there is no God.
But the anti-evolutionists PERSIST in giving their atheist enemies ammunition by denying scientific fact and rejecting the body of evidence that indicates PHYSICAL evolution is a reality.
Evolution can indeed explain the development of the human BODY. But SOULS don’t fossilize. At some point in the development of the hominid line, God imparted an immortal HUMAN soul to the bodies he created.
And THAT needs to be a rational defense of creation and God. But in order to do this, you have to acknowledge the OBVIOUS. The physical BODIES of organisms DO evolve over time.
Sounds racist. Check your white privilege!
