Groundbreaking Book: Science Shows Man Not an Ape

Posted on 12/21/2005 6:22:46 AM PST by truthfinder9

One of biggest paradigm shifts in origins in recent years is when genetics and morphological studies began to show that Neanderthals and humans weren’t related. Sure, a lot of Darwin Fundies around here don’t know that because they get all of their science from the talking point lists of their Fundamentalist Leaders. So this is probably a big shock too, science is also showing that man is not related to any hominids including apes.

In the groundbreaking book, Who was Adam?, biochemist Fazale Rana examines the scientific research that is overturning Darwinian Fundamentalism. Here, using peer-reviewed research that the Darwin Fundies claim doesn’t exist, Rana shows man is unique and designed.

And he details the latest findings on the fossil record, junk DNA, Neanderthals, human and chimp genetics. There's more science here than most Darwin Fundies have ever read, but this will be the next great paradigm shift.

“The parallels between Genesis and the latest scientific data are profound...” - John A. Bloom, Ph.D., professor of physics, Biola University

On Rana’s previous book, Origins of Life:

“Evolution has just been dealt its deathblow. After reading Origins of Life, it is clear that evolution could not have occurred.” - Richard Smalley, Nobel Laureate, Chemistry, 1996, professor of physics and astronomy, Rice University

Real science by real scientists. According to Darwin Fundies this doesn't exist, but here it is.

I've always found it interesting that Darwin himself recanted his own theory near the end of his life and embraced the possibility of God and an afterlife.

Did Darwin recant?

That sounds like a fairly defensive response.

The test is over the theory of evolution. Therefore, providing ansers according to what the theory of evolution says is perfectly acceptable, and discriminates against nobody. If the test were over the Bible's presentation of creation, then providing answers according to what the theory of evolution says would be incorrect.

Schools shouldn't be forcing students to renounce religious beliefs, rather they should be teaching them science.

I know of no school that forces students to "renounce" their religious beliefs.

But it doesn't say God created apes, then sat back and watched them change into humans.

It also doesn't say that the body produces antibodies to fight disease. Not every fact of nature is explicitly stated in the Bible.

I do not know if the Earth was created in six days, nor do I know if one of God's days is the same as one of our days.

But the Bible does say God created humans as humans, doesn't it?

If your entire region dries up over a period of many years/decades/centuries, that is a much broader threat to survival.
 
If it goes that slowly, then there is plenty of time to move with the vegetation.
 
 
 
Some "protomen" undoubtedly moved with the receding jungle & survived relatively unchanged (for a while), while other bands changed radically.
 
Dead is kinda radical!  ;^)
 
 
 


(No science here: just assumption...)

But guessing and assuming is what links most of the E side's arguments together.

Hardly ANYTHING that is claimed has been shown to be possible.

... I wouldn't be surpised if evidence is eventually found that life got started on Mars...

Good luck!

That can't be shown to have happened HERE!

We killed off any competition that came close to us in cleverness long ago.

Bye bye Democrats!

They are more subtle than that.

They suggest that they should enroll in Comparative Religions instead.

That, the public schools have confirmed they will never teach. Now it is clear and parents can better decide where/how to educate their kids.

Thanks ACLU, and Happy Winter Solstice!

Forcing students to memorize and regurgitate a Darwinian belief accomplishes the same thing; renouncement of competitive viewpoints.

Public Schools aren't fair & balanced in this regard.

>>>Perhaps the capacity for intellectual growth is a trait, and not an inevitability. For example, Marxists have shown little or no capacity for intellectual growth, merely the mimicry of the outward appearances of such.>>>

LOL!! You know, you have a point...

>>>A soul has no influence on the body?

Soul? What do you mean soul? Science has not PROVEN the existence of a soul, therefore it doesn't exist. Haven't you been paying attention? /sarcasm

"Are you plagiarizing an old George Carlin skit without giving credit because you're a dishonest joker who doesn't think anyone will notice or did you just happen to hear this line somewhere and your feeble mind thought a dumb joke from a pothead comedian was a brilliant piece of mind blowing philosophy to share on a conservative forum?"

Whoa! Testy, testy, testy! It is the Christmas season, you know - try to be a little less aggressive. No, I never heard Carlin say this. In fact, I haven't paid much attention to anything Carlin has said over the years. Your response makes me wonder which creature you evolved from. Merry Christmas!

>>>I assuming that man is the only species that continues to grow intellectually, while other species remain primitive.
Just give 'em time!!!

(Actually, don't admit that you are assuming anything if you wish to be in the Evolutionary court.)>>>

Yes, you are correct I suppose. I need to keep the "just the facts, maam" thing going.

>>>Why do HUMANS and no other creature CONTINUE to grow intellectually, while other species remain just as primitive as they were 1,000,000 years ago?
How do you know? Talked to a porpoise lately?>>>

Why no I haven't. But I also haven't flown in an airplane piloted by a porpoise. Or had surgery performed by a porpoise. You get the idea.
