Portion of old jawbone found: more proof that evolution is real.

Oh, for reals? wrote:

If we came from monkeys then why do Asians have slanted eyes? Monkeys don't. Did they evolve later? Didn't we come from monkeys?

Where did the evolution stop?

How can scientist determine 2.8 million years when they can get dates wrong as close as a 1,000 years? Seriously? A million years? A half a million years? One hundred thousand years? Fifty thousand?.... A century?

I like how you science guys are always changing your minds. Global warming, no wait, climate change.... what next?

Those science guys and their crazy theories can't be trusted. I hope you don't drive a car or use a computer or the internet or...oh wait.

The internet troll of course.

Obvious troll is obvious.

They are. They just coexist in your conflicted mind.

God put that jaw bone there to help you further understand evolution which he set in motion at the beginning of the universe.

Are you sure Satan didn't put it there to trick us?

I don't know of any biblical evidence that Satan has this kind of power.

The only thing approaching it would be in the story of Job. Even if you take that story literally you notice that everything he did was with the permission of God.

Are you sure about that?

Don't Christians believe in an afterlife and that everyone is equally loved by our creator?

Presumably that includes your parents as well as yourself. Also, your siblings.

Now follow the trail to see that it leads to every living thing (ants, slugs, paramecium, e. coli...)

This is why the notion of evolution is so profoundly dangerous to the Christian psyche - far more so than getting used to the fact that the earth is not the center of the universe or that the universe is not less than 10,000 years old.

It is also why this post will be deleted. Way too scary for some.

I think our species goes back a lot further than 3 million years.

Because you've never looked at the data that compares the DNA of humans and chimps. The fact is that you have more alleles in common with a random chimp than do many pairs of birds (just for example) that are recognized as pairs of subspecies. As Aldous Huxley said, "facts do not cease to exist simply because they are ignored".

Have you seen Beijing with your own eyes? No? Well then I guess it's not there. Same thing with these 'atoms' that scientists insist you're made of. Poppycock!

Based on the story of Job your God is a sick bastard. He allowed this guy to be tortured and other members of his family to be killed when he had the power to stop it.

Likewise it is within your power to stop torturing the faithful for their beliefs.

I agree! Many people are surprised that the reason many scientists went into the field was due to their strong belief in God. There's nothing odd about it.Many of the greatest Scientists were Christians.

So, then you agree that every paramecium and e. coli is equal to you in the eyes of God and will experience an eternity of bliss in heaven after their death, no?

I think the jawbone actually fell to earth upon an asteroid which was part of the planet Krypton when it broke apart. What an absolutely amazing discovery. People we are witnessing history in the making!

Yes. Quite.

God loves His creation. But love is not something you quantify and put into an equation. I don't see what the afterlife has to do with it, but yes, I believe in Heaven.

Humans are special in God's creation. Whether He created us through evolution or incantation makes no difference.

It's not dangerous at all. I accept both creation and evolution. My psyche is just fine. If anything, I'm a little too dull, analytical, rational, and boring.

I find your argument rather dull as well. Surely you can do better than that.

Yeah. Your deep thoughts are so scary. They really rock the foundation of my existence.

Logic proves evolution is real. If you believe genetics are heritable, clearly traits that support reproduction will be more present in future generations than traits that do not.

Very good point.

You haven't thought it through. It is not clear that you are capable of it.

Evolution is a hoax, like Global Warming and 9/11.

Sasquatch on the other hand is real.
