editor-surveyor: "Humans have no ancestors that were not also humans.
That was made plain to all that actually read, in the principle of the 'kinsman redeemer.' "

So you make a Biblical argument against science?
Nothing wrong with that, you're free to believe what you wish on the subject, so long as you don't call your religious beliefs "science".
By definition, they are not.

Science, by definition, is natural explanations for natural processes -- anything else falls outside the realm of science, and that would include your Bible based beliefs.

But I would argue the Bible is not at war against science, it merely insists on three axioms:

  1. God created everything science investigates and He authored every natural law science discovers.
  2. God rules over everything science discovers or proposes, regardless of whether any particular hypothesis later proves confirmed or falsified.
  3. On occasion, God over-rules the laws of nature, but never for God's benefit, only for ours (i.e., miracles).

As for "kinsman redeemer" the Bible only tells us that God began with dirt and ended by breathing life into Adam, making him a living soul.
In my opinion, that's also what evolution tells us: dirt to pre-human, the Breath of Life from God making the first man, for the first time, truly human.

Of course, you don't have to believe that, but I still argue the Bible is not at war against science.

The word of Yehova is sound, whereas the current fad that gets called “science” is so far always a joke.

There has yet to be a theory that survives reality.

1000 years from now, when “the Earth and Heavens have departed for there is no place found for them” science will have evaporated with every other creation of men, but the Bride of Yeshua will still be alive.

I know that’s not for you, but it is something to think about.
