The timing of molar emergence and its relation to growth and reproduction in apes is being reported by two scientists at Arizona State University's Institute of Human Origins in the Dec. 28 online early edition of the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences (PNAS). From the smallest South American monkeys to the largest African apes, the timing of molar development and eruption is closely attuned to many fundamental aspects of a primate's biology, according to Gary Schwartz, a researcher at the Institute of Human Origins and an associate professor in the School of Human Evolution and Social Change in ASU's College of Liberal Arts and Sciences... Because of the difficulties in obtaining tooth emergence ages from animals in the wild, Kelley opted for other means; he searched for specimens in museums. At the Zoologische Staatssammlung in Munich he found skulls of a wild-shot orangutan (Pongo pygmaeus pygmaeus) and gorilla (Gorilla gorilla gorilla) that preserved emerging first molars... the two scientists were able to mark the age of the gorilla's first molar emergence at 3.8 years, nearly identical to that of a wild chimpanzee's. The orangutan's age at first molar emergence was surprisingly much later, at 4.6 years, which falls closer to the age of approximately 6 years in modern humans... However, he and Schwartz caution that though the later emergence age in these large Asian apes is closer to that for modern humans, these latest findings should not be taken to indicate some special evolutionary relationship between the two.

as you said before you are correct. The going as sad as it is for the lost is the lake of fire even the science can’t undo that..God bless
Saying something is not a science text is NOT the same thing as saying that it is silent on the issue.
Can't you evos ever NOT extrapolate?
First you accuse her of demanding that the Bible be read literally and then demanding that she back up the statement you made about her. Now you're reading into what she says, again.....
You assume too much....
For the record, the Bible is not silent on how man and animals came about and it wasn't by evolution. It clearly says that God used the dust of the earth to create animals, and then in a separate act of creation, He used the dust of the earth to create man.
When He did it differently to create Eve, the Bible states so.
There is no ambiguity. Twisting Scripture to fit man's attempts are reasoning God out of the picture, is playing with fire.
by the way my post to you was meant for FB2003..sorry
sorry again to freedumb2003
I picked up on that. I’ve learned that when some comment to me doesn’t make sense that there’s usually a reason for it.
Posts to wrong FReepers happen, more than the ones to wrong threads, but it’s usually a matter of having too many tabs open.
thank you~~~

You do find physics.
3 Hebrew Children, thrown in fire, yet survive.
Jesus (and Peter!) walk on water
Moses and the Israelites pass through the Red Sea, by walking on the bottom after the waters are split
Jesus resurrects after 3 days in the grave.
You should use the Bible for what it is, the infallible word of God. That Word does say how God did it, you just refuse to see the words of it.
freedumb, seriesly,
The Bible is not a scientific text, not meant to be. Suffice it to say, that God is bigger than physics, and can when in His will operate outside those bounds. And His Word is true. It describes clearly what Creation was.
And just so you know, Astrology is NOT Astronomy. Astronomy is a science, Astrology is not and is warned against with good reason.
else it is just sophistry.
Spoken well by the King of Sophistry.
(Wowza, sure didn't take long for this thread to be hijacked. :-)))
I said nothing about magic.
I said that evolution was a belief.
