Good point. However this is old news. Back in the '60's when mitochondrial DNA was first introduced into general conversation from scientific parlance, it was postulated that Neanderthal was unrelated to the human specie and that Cro-Magnard man (so much like us it's unbelievable yet with a greater brain size than we have today) existed at the same time as Neanderthal.
Yet, 40,000 years ago, these superior beings mysteriously appeared out of nowhere, full-blown humans, with apparently no antecedents, which is why there is so much talk about the missing link, which may never be found because it may never have existed. To make this story short, there is a lot of conjecture about intelligent design, whether by God or an alien race experimenting on our DNA, and evolution being the dominant creationist theory. I tend to think that evolution came later as a fine-tuning of creation (check the evolution of eohippus to the eventual horse of today, and you'll know that evolution is true). God did not create a static universe but one that is changing; as a result, evolution is His tool to fine-tune creation. Both theories are correct. Where evolutionists go wrong is that they believe the tail is wagging the dog. Where creationists go wrong is thinking that God created a static universe, when in reality He provided the mechanism of evolution to further His creation in a process of fine-tuning to changing conditions. So, let's all relax and enjoy what we have. |
