Curious how you’re saying that evidence of humanity being around for at least 300,000 years ‘proves’ that evolution is wrong but wait a moment:

Does that mean you’re no longer going to post articles that insist the earth is only 6,000 years old?

I mean if you’ve accepted that the earth is at least 300,000 years old then it’s not 6,000 years old, right?

“I mean if you’ve accepted that the earth is at least 300,000 years old then it’s not 6,000 years old, right?”

The order of evolution is the point. If it can be shown that the whole purported evolutionary-tree lineage makes no sense, than neither does the theory.

Much of the theories on dating time, are based on evolutionary assumptions—layers of fossils and such, NOT on (supposedly) rock solid radio-carbon dating of the strata.

Young earth creationists insist that the earth was made—like a full size tree—with an appearance of age, and that the vast sedimentary rocks with fossils in them we see nearly everywhere were made in the great flood—also giving an appearance of age—which was really an unimaginable catastrophe.

One would expect to find homo sapiens bones then, as old as the oldest fossils, if you looked in the right places—and the supposed ancestor primates to homo sapiens—to actually be contemporary species. As to the real actual age of things, that’s a separate issue.

God created it all, be it six thousand years, six million years or sixty billion years. Adam and Eve may be symbolic of the first fully sentient humans or may be the first such individuals. God made them nonetheless, be it individually or through a process. Symbolism is heavy in scripture, as is history. Sometimes the two are difficult to differentiate.

When we meet Him He will explain where we went wrong interpreting His scriptures.

If God just created the world today with everyone and everything exactly as they are right now, there would seem to be a past that actually hadn’t happened. When He actually created the universe, including Adam and Eve, they all would have appeared, according to the physical laws of this universe, to have pasts they didn’t have.
