40% of Americans Still Believe In Creationism..how about OT

I also don't care how it happened, or see why anyone would care deeply about how it happened, apart from pure scientific investigation.

You cannot go back in time and find out, and even if you can know for certain how (physically) we came to exist -- okay, that's interesting, but so what? I'm not sure what practical application it would have, it doesn't prove much from an existential standpoint, and there's no reason it should have any particular impact on the way you live your life.
 
What historical fact do you want addressed by science? Is it a historical fact that men grew to be 900+ years of age, we all descended from Adam and Eve, God made the Earth in 7 days, and men grew to be over 20 ft tall?...
 
I'm just limiting the time frame to humanity. I'm no anthropologist, but basic knowledge of diet and the most basic health knowledge has allowed humans to grow much larger than we ever have been. As our diet diversifies and we control our environment more and more we are able to be healthier, which encourages growth and longevity.

Edit: By the way, this applies to all animals. A healthier, better fed animal will always be bigger and stronger than one that is not.
 
So you're saying that an ancestor may have been larger, but it wasn't human by your definition? The issue of nutrition is obvious. I'm not really asking about that.

I'm not arguing, I'm trying to understand specifically what you mean.
 
Even if you believe in the Bible, Christianity or Islam, you can still believe in evolution. There's no need to cling on to creationism ideologically just because you think it contradicts Christianity or Islam.
 
Uh... Creation and Evolution aren't antonymous.

Creation and Spontaneous Generation are.

Ask people "do you think living things changed over time over (thousanRAB/millions/billions) of years?"
Many would disagree on the time scale, but most would agree.

I've yet to find an evolutionist point out the first species to me, or make non-life alive and watch it turn into a population of life so it can then evolve. I have also yet to find an evolutionist that can defy the mathematics of the vast majority of mutations being harmful (and since natural selection can only select what comes natural, mutation is the only way to create new DNA data to select from).

What I have seen over the years is the evolving definition of "evolution" to try to keep brushing the painful truth under the rug.

I've also seen the limits of evolution observed time and time again, in human-selected breeding.
 
I'm curious about you time frame. ThousanRAB? HundreRAB of thousanRAB? Millions?




WOW that sounRAB an awful lot like thisgee, who said that
 
evolution has nothing to do with abiogenesis - they are two different ideas.. and there are several viable theories about the creation of what we call "life" from "non-life" - all of which do not require the God factor..
"life" is just matter interacting with itself, just like everything else...what is the big mystery anyway

even if a vast majority of mutations are harmful - some will not be, and will be selected for. and after billions of years of this process a vast array of different species can come about.

but of course you think the earth is thousanRAB of years old instead of billions - which defies essentially what all the major sciences have found - biology, physics, geology, chemistry, astronomy - all these fielRAB must be wrong is the Earth is really thousanRAB of years old.
