If they press on this, you might get a good laugh by claiming that the part on evolution was omitted, “because it was racist.”
That will turn them for a loop.
I've NEVER heard that "humans" have been around for three and a half million years.
Not even from the most hard core evolutionist.
IIRC, "humans" as in people like us, have been thought to exist for maybe a hundred thousand years at MOST.
If this was deliberate by the station, then they are stupid, because it will confirm the bias liberals have of "conservatives" not wanting to hear "the truth"
I watched the show, and thought it was interesting.
Cool graphics, but way too much speculation.
Possibly, this could be, maybe, scientists theorize...etc.
Bottom line is that after all evolution is still a theory.
Pretty good one as far as theories go, but not proof.
And people who don't believe in evolution are not necessarily fools, no matter what the LA Times thinks.
