Chinese Femur Refutes Human Evolution
by Brian Thomas, M.S. *
Evidence for Creation
Textbooks around the world contain the well-known illustration of walking apes transitioning into a modern human. I recently heard a college student, raised in a Christian home, say these pictures convinced her of evolution. She probably represents countless others swayed by this simplistic icon. But those willing to question the concept that man descended from apes can welcome the recent study of a discovery from China. It adds to the list of important finds that refute human evolution and its illustrations.

Then there has been no evolutionary process involving mankind.
Good grief.

Sorry, your logic escapes me. God using evolution to get to human beings would necessarily have something leading up to it before God pronounced it man.
The group ‘Evolutionists’ comprise myriad persons concerned with the notion of evolution. The group is not uniform in view, but they are all of the view that genetic polymorphisms lend genetic ‘pressure’ for causing species variations, hence different manifestations combined with Darwin’s ‘natural selection’ explain ape to human evolution.
So you’re only covering a part of the view of Evolutionists. They have indeed inculcated the popular culture into thinking ‘ape to human’. Whether academics in the field hold a different view matters not, the dogma is established; it’s out there. The consequence is denial of God and His Son based on nothing but a theory of unbelief.
The notion of common ‘ancestor’ posits that a certain species gave rise to ape and also to human. It is also a mere theory of unbelief leading to the same denial.
One way to look at it is there is a lot of overlap in life forms, and there is too much reading into the gathered data to make all kinds of false incomplete dogma but the end result is to deny a higher power and in so doing, to remove authority leading to challenging all norms and customs. The consequence is toxic.
The intellectual and social force that compels all nonsense of evolution talk is in creating a justification for the activity. The simple question of why is all this data being collected has to have a ‘story’ to deflect criticism for what could be a grand waste of time. The predominate story is one of ‘there is no God’.
Until there are lab experiments that inject genetic material into gametes or zygotes that form a new species of clear superior utility, there will be continued ‘stories’ that are nothing more than astrology with terms replaced. And if such an event comes to pass, the issue will be is it from God as a means to help His creation or is it merely a continuation of humans making themselves gods? For example, humans designed to be cancer-resistant versus humans designed with impaired reproductive systems, etc.
I believe Adam and Eve are symbolic of the human mind to be capable of abstracting information from their environment.
Homo erectus was capable of controlling fire some 400,000 years ago, which is likely a fair marker of when thought processes and development were well underway.
Impressed that you have your charts handy!
“If most Americans descended from Europeans, how come there are still Europeans?”
Because the Muslims haven’t wiped them out yet.
I've been raising that same question for years.
To be clear, I am not defending evolution and those who would insist that I am: Are wrong.
I’m just saying make a better argument is all. If Creationists want to argue Creation by making an argument that is DOA with anyone who isn’t a Creationist then what’s being accomplished?
Sorry, your logic escapes me. God using evolution to get to human beings would necessarily have something leading up to it before God pronounced it man.
Are you saying there has or has not been an evolutionary process involved?
Without Rae Dawn, it would be much, much lower on the scale.
Hmmm. Good point. Lemme think about it.
Strawman BS.
I am saying God used materials He previously made to make man. If you want to call that evolution fine. If you want to look at it as God building his creation the same way He built the universe you should feel better about it.
The fact that God works in stages should be familiar and not offensive to you. The real issue is random versus intelligent design. Don’t get hung up on the word.
It is clear that you are unfamiliar with Darwin's writings.
"At some future period, not very distant as measured by centuries, the civilized races of man will almost certainly exterminate, and replace, the savage races throughout the world. At the same time the anthropomorphous apes, as Professor Schaffhausen has remarked, (Anthropological Review, April, 1867, p. 236) will no doubt be exterminated. The break between man and his nearest allies will then be wider, for it will intervene between man in a more civilised state, as we may hope, even than the Caucasian, and some ape as low as a baboon, instead of as now between the negro or Australian and the gorilla." (Charles Darwin, The Descent of Man, Chap. vi)
FReegards!
I am not the one arguing for an evolutionary process....you were.
Michelangelo thought he did.
Well, if you actually read my post I don’t know what the hell you are talking about now.
When asked "Would those alleged common ancestors be considered apes," honest evolutionists answer in the affirmative, just like those common ancestors of Americans and modern day Europeans would be considered Europeans. If your first sentence was true (which it's not) it would just be an attempt to shade the truth.
