"it suggests that certain human-specific traits, like generation time, began to evolve one million years ago"
One million years ago? But, the universe is only 10,000 years old! How could this be? Are the godless scientists saying that human-specific traits evolved before the universe even existed?
You know, it's funny. If you were walking in the dessert, and you saw a $12,000 Rolex ticking away on the ground, you wouldn't say- "gee, I guess the sun heated the sand of trillions of years, and through light refraction and molecular blah-blah this watch must have risen up out of the quartz"- or some such. you'd say- "Hey look- somebody dropped a watch."
Or if you went to the beach, and you had a LOT of time on your hands- how long would you have to wait for a perfectly functional PC with a perfectly functional copy of Windows XP to rise up out of the sea? A billion years? A gazillion? How about never.
And the "simplest" cell (there are no simple single cells), is about a quintillion times more advanced technologically than a silly personal computer.
My point being that when you look into the mirror, you are looking at some wildly, ungodly advanced hardware/software, and you can either make up a story liek the American Indians-- "First, Raven dropped the seed of life onto the back of Turtle in the River of Life, and blah-blah ( insert nonsensical scientific data), or you can say-- "wow- who made this?"
