Are you figuring they were already human? How did they crawl out of the ooze. How does science explain and prove the Cambrian explosion.


....One of the main themes presented....

...thus speeding up Evolution....

....able to adapt and fill previous niches.... held by dinosaurs.

....Another, smaller example is....

....An evolutionary adaptation....

....a yet unidentified common ancestor....

Now, if you choose not to believe this stuff it is you Right. As far as freedom of religion. Just do not expect your faith based belief to be taught in a Science class. It should be taught in a Comparative Religion class....


If you take a look, wouldn't you agree that supposition and grabbing convenient examples out of prehistory may not be good or even marginally acceptable 'science'. Yet, it's taught in science class. It seems that a good bit of faith is required to subscribe to ridgid evolution concepts. Maybe, it should be taught under a comparative logic curriculum, it could range from tortured to precise mathematical predictions.

You do mix in adaptation here and there, and I agree somewhat. Not that we'll have a human or even an earth worm climb out of a test tube zapped to form rudimentary amino acids. If there are ten cave men sitting around a campfire, the group just doesn't need the one or two around that won't hunt or complain a lot about their problems. Heresy to the overwhelming modern examples of adaptive changes, the new evolution?
