I recovered a tiny piece of yesterday's french fries on the floor. Researchers studying its morphology found it has an exterior and interior, has internal molecules, many of which are also core to human existence: oxygen and carbon and nitrogen and trace minerals. So therefore, it must be your "sister species" of human.
No! Because bone findings of "neanderthal" has SOME similar DNA, it must therefore be related to humans? Wrong conclusion from the premeses.
No, there is NO evidence of a supposed transition of supposed other creatures to man.
2. You'd be surprised at the huge amount of evidence available.
And then you list none.
3. which person looks like God? ... Just what does "made in the image of God" mean?
Actually very good questions! So where would we go to find out? If we look in nature, we only can see that God is powerful and exists. But we don't know what He looks like or what the "image of God" is unless He would reveal that to us.
Which He has done. 1)Recorded in 66 books called the Bible; and , 2) By assuming human flesh Himself, when the Son of God chose to become man. Jesus said, "You have seen me, you've seen the Father." The "image of God" is explained in God's teachings.
4.at least a dozen Australopithecine and Homo species
And there are Russet potatoes, Idaho, Baking, Red potatoes, let's see, would Sweet Potatoes count? They all need water to grow, humans need water, so therefore, we are potatos!
Archaeological findings can be interpreted many different ways. It doesn't mean there can't be a correct one, but conclusions reached are often speculations and theories. Guesses, and that's what they have taught you. Their claims have been refuted one by one, but I doubt if even your public library would carry those books.
There still is NO evidence to show that humans somehow evolved from lower animal species to us now. Not ONE evidence showing ah, here's the transition from amoeba to snake, to warthog, to monkey, to gorilla to man!
5. Monkeys are monkeys; man is man. Just because we are more or less related does not change this fact.
Just because you call us related, does not make it true. At least in my family lineage! ;-)
We have a fallen mind, which cannot think rationally and which does not want truth prior to God changing us through Christ. What seems rational to you, simply is not, because God Himself has stated differently: that He created the animals, and then He created man after His own image, something distinct from ALL animals.
6. The Theory of Evolution is the current state of the art in science.
I'm not trying to be mean here, because many of us fell for these same lines, but you are just flat wrong. It's like midievel Christians saying the sun revolved around the earth. When that was disproven, they had to go back and see where they had been misinterpreting things.
TToE was a theory, and the theory has been disproven, but why should that evidence be announced when Professors can actually get money and have a career to teach it? Why should they present all the contrary research, when they would lose their income in doing so?
What evidence you ask? That there IS NO evidence for transitional evolution between species, culminating in man.
There is a built in hatred of God in fallen mankind, because all men know He exists, so they rarely want to do anything which would support Biblical content.
7. "educate yourself so that, if you still disagree with evolution at least you wouldn't come across as pig-ignorant"
Again, typical godless liberal methodology of name calling. You also make the uneducated statement, since you do not know me or my educational levels, to claim that I am not educated on this issue. That is also called, lying and public slander. You have not proven one of my statements false, where the contrary has been done by me to your claims.
Because this is so indoctrinated into our culture, it is a hard concept to reliquish. But imagine, if you can, would the world come to an end if you realized Darwin's theory was wrong? Would your personal worth as a human being have any less value? Actually, it might go up a notch because you'd finally be wanting truth over indoctrination.
Is it truly a conscious choice you want to be making, to stand against what God Himself says?
He doesn't require that you believe in Genesis, but He DOES require that you believe His Son died for your sins, and that you repent and turn to Him. Because we have such excellent evidence for Jesus' resurrection from the dead, proving His claims to being God, why not first look at THAT evidence? Then, because it will validate His claims, you can see what HIS view, as God, is on each issue.
And being God, He should know!
How is any of this notably 'conservative' in any way?
