As I said, my epiphany came upon close examination of the skulls. I don't know if DNA tests were conducted on the remaining teeth. I'm not even sure that is a relevant question as the great apes genetically are very close to us, with only a few differences in their genetic code.
Forget he said in his own image, he really wouldn't do that.
This depends entirely of your definition of "image". Does this mean that God has arms and legs as we do, or does that reference imply that God endowed us with more intangible characteristics similar to His own, such as emotions, the ability to reason, etc. In my opinion, if God exists, He exists as spirit since He is able to be everywhere at the same moment. Therefore, He would have given each of us a spirit along with all of our personality traits, wrapped in a corporeal body...else why would Christ have been born, other than to give Him a physical form?
So far nothing you have said is proof of evolution.
My intention is not to prove or disprove anything to you, my intent is to participate in civil discourse on the matter. I don't give a rat's rump whether you believe in evolution or creationism, because neither view alone will get either of us into Heaven. According to the Bible, something else is required for salvation.
It is also worth pointing out, for the umpteenth time on these threads, that scientific theories are never "proven".
To do so, as you well know, would require the ability to exclude every single potential disproof as being impossible. Since this is generally not possible in any practical sense, scientific theories are provisionally accepted if they 1) best fit the evidence, 2) provide broad explanatory power for the phenomona within their scope, 3) make useful predictions, and 4) are capable of being falsified.
The answer is no. It is very rare to find any kind of usable DNA in fossils and the oldest limit for it seems to be about 50,000 years ago. So no, there is no DNA to all those fossils the evolutionists cackle about and no, you do not have the education you claim to have or you would know that.
