You should read "The Beak of the Finch". Plenty of evolution hypotheses tested, and solid demonstrations of micro-evolution leading to speciation. |

How do creationists explain cavemen? Were Adam and Eve cavepeople and humans evolved from them? |
As I already explained...the original creation..including humans...had a greater genetic range and choice available. There was more variety within humans than now. Hairier and more robust people were just one expression of the diversity. This was before humans and other species went through a bottleneck- the flood- in which masses of former genetic range was lost.
Genetic studies confirm that humans did go through a bottleneck at one point - the reasons for which.. they don't know. |

Well this is just one snippet of evidence that confirms humans went through a serious population bottleneck at some point. Google it if you wish. Scientists don't know why, but its just anothing thing pointing to a global catastrophe with few survivors. To me its obviously the flood...(for which I already presented mountains of evidence in other threads-eg subterranean water etc).
I guess Fox was right. There really is zero point rehashing this discussion, particularly when most peoples minds are slammed shut and refuse to acknowledge basic and irrefutable evidence that clearly conforms to the biblical record. However i realise no evidence could force the deniers to open their minds even a slither, (gigantic previous threads have proven this much)-so I guess we better just leave it right here.
However I will be reminding you from time to time.. whenever evo-fantasy is once again exposed as the ridiculous make-believe that it is.Should be every few months- going on the past track record. |

You're right, there were massive floods, when both the Mediterannean and Black seas filled their current basins, suddenly. I have no doubt that's why it's such a pervasive story that's been retold and rendered into the mythology in many cultures.
I just cannot wrap my mind around the issue many (and not all, especially outside of the US) Christians have with evolution, or why reading Genesis as essentially mythical debases faith in any way. It seems to me to speak more to weakness of faith than anything, if doing away with a 7-day creation myth negates one's ability to be a Christian. |
