Why Humans Did Not Evolve ACCORDING TO SCRIPTURE:
Then God said, “Let us make man in our image, in our likeness, and let them rule over the fish of the sea and the birds of the air, over the livestock, over all the earth,and over all the creatures that move along the ground.”So God created man in his own image, in the image of God he created him; male and female he created them. Genesis 1:26-27
Why Humans Did Not Evolve ACCORDING TO SCIENCE:
Requirements for Macro Evolution
- Population minimum of 1 quadrillion
- Generation time of less than 3 months
- Body size no greater than 1 centimeter
As far as I can tell these statistics were invented by Hugh Ross, who promptly used them to say natural evolution didn’t produce mankind. Instead God must have caused the evolution of humanity.
However, at no point does he provide any information – be it theoretical or otherwise – that supports these figures. Instead he just constantly reiterates them, providing little reason to accept them beyond his continued assertions. Indeed, even on his own website the only time he references these statistics is to just restate the figures again.
As such I’m not particularly inclined to believe his claims, although if you are aware of any of the mathematics or observations he uses to calculate I am all ears.
Haha! I knew you were gonna love that one!
By the way, I want you to know that the name Adam Benton is spoken of with high regard through the Halls of Sepetjian Acres! =)
How are those exams coming along?
I have one on anthropology tomorrow so I’ve been revising why hunter-gatherers share food, how they gather the food and such. Ask me anything!
Also, I’m flattered to be spoken of like that. I don’t speak to many about what I do here so I can’t really say the same for you. But if it’s any consolation you’re made the 6th most comments over on my blog. That’s gotta count for something
