Sorry if you don't believe me, but that simply is the way it is.
OK, one more example. All over the world, anthropologists have visited people still living a more traditional lifestyle, using stone, bone, and wooden tools. They have gathered and studied those tools, watched them being made and used, and then compared the wear with tools from the more distant past. By studying modern tools you learn a lot; you can then apply that knowledge to the past.
If you don't believe this for religious reasons, just say so. But don't be trashing the legitimate work of thousands of scientists whose work you have little knowledge of, just because you disagree with the results for religious reasons.
I am a mechanical engineer, with training in computer science and electrical engineering, also.
I am against what you say for more reasons than Religion.
But at least you were honest, most evo types wont admit that.
