Yup. Evolutionary “theories” existed back to ancient Greek times. Mankind’s attempt to comprehend the variety of life versus the sheer impossibility of organisms living very long in a hostile environment. Each iteration of evolutionary theory uses current scientific “knowledge” faulty or not.
The ideas of Anaximander, Empedocles, Ibn Kaldun, might seem archaic to modern evolutionary concepts, but the impetus is the same. Those forces still haven’t stopped many, many scientists from signing the declaration of dissent regarding Darwin’s(Wallace’s) theories being able to account for the origin of life and its variations.

It's a shame that you believe in men over God-inspired Scripture.

Sure, good old Mother earth, and all that...

If your god is a fat lady, fling about on pixie wings with a magic wand, I wish you luck with that...

But, I think I'll stick with Jesus of Nazareth, thank you.. :)

Augustine, who taught the ex nihilo doctrine, srsly?

Welcome to FR. Did you mean to visit some other forum, by chance?
