If one notices fossils of hominids that are not clearly human but much more human than any other ape, what can one infer about the existence of these almost human creatures? No ‘interpretation’ is needed to clearly see their nearly human features.
“Evidence is proof of something that happened”? Evidence = Proof? Boy you really do use your own language.
I think what you are seeing is an example of creation "science."
Please do not confuse this with real science.
