So instead of us evolving from monkeys, now they say
we evolved from “fuzzy little squirrel-like critters”???
Well, now you have to remember that the Book DID get every detail right about the sequence of events.
They were a bit off in the length of time though: Kind of hard to count billions of years when 70 x 70 is your largest number. Powers of ten are hard when there is no zero yet.
Pre-monkeys.
That’s not what it is saying. During the Dinosaur era, mammals could not evolve larger because the dinosaurs were eating them. Only small rodent like creatures could survive the onslaught of the dinosaurs.
Once the dinosaurs were extinct thanks to that large asteroid, mammals began thriving, and gradually became larger and larger and apes became a reality.
That’s what they want you to think............
