Of Homo sapiens, Darwin made only a passing mention on the third-to-last page of the tome, noting coyly that "light will be thrown on the origin of man and his history." That's it. That is all he wrote about the dawning of the single most consequential species on the planet.

Staggering complexity emerging from pure randomness. Uh huh.
Exactly. Evolutionists area the truest fideists. Nothing times nothing equals everything.
if not explained how it came to be through natural selection
( and he could not ) would be the death knell of his whole theory "“To suppose that the eye could have been formed by [evolution], seems, I freely confess, absurd in the highest degree". darwin knew he was peddeling crap from the get go.
I am not a scientist. What I’ve read sounds convincing. But I also get suspicious about a theory that seems to explain so much so easily. Like a scientific “just so” story.
The gall of these bastards. From the same clowns who said man will not fly in a thousand years.
You sound like a DENIER. lol
“Like a scientific “just so” story.”
Nah, like the chalkboard mathematical sequence with:
“A miracle happens” to enable the solution.
There’s a difference between what people term ‘evolutionists’ and those who believe that evolutionary processes may have been part of God’s plan.
Believing in a Creator God doesn’t preclude belief in evolution.
“In 1859, 14 years after the founding of this magazine, Charles Darwin published the most important scientific book ever written. “
Idiotic hyperbole.
The title, too. The “staggering complexity of human evolution.”
Staggering. Not just complex. Staggeringly complex.
As if the ant or bacteria aren’t as “staggeringly complex.”
I’m a fan of ants. Their abilities fascinate me.
But I don’t think they are quite as ‘staggeringly complex’ as human beings are.
I read in a book a long time ago that, God, the Creator made mankind in His own Image and likeness, and He saw that it was good. He also made the beasts of the Earth, the birds in the air, the fowl. The creatures who crawl or slither. All of these species here have adapted or underwent an evolution to arrive at where we are today. Darwin can hypothesize all he wants, but God made us and this place and hopefully we don’t mess it up too bad.
Technically you are right, but practically speaking, creation does preclude evolution.
It precludes evolution as current science promotes evolution. It doesn’t preclude evolutionary processes. These may have been intended by God.
I saw the other day a post where someone ridiculed the idea of the ‘Big Bang’. But if God wanted to make a Universe, He must have started somewhere, somehow.
That huge idea may very well have begun with a ‘Big Bang’, bringing matter into existence where it wasn’t before.
What is God’s ‘image and likeness’? What is meant by that? Does God have two legs, arms, eyes, two of all the ‘usuals’?
It seems to me that ‘likeness’ in this sense refers to something immaterial; and it still doesn’t preclude evolutionary processes.
Ants are fascinating. Ants may rule the world some day.
Oh wait, climate change. They better hurry.
Humans are ‘staggeringly illogical’. We are the only creature known to argue with it’s creator.
I would have to say yes relative to a homo Sapien. Although some are born without. It’s in a book a read, i’ve read a few books.
Try this.
God made man in his imagination and desires.
