I read the article on "Lucy". Seriously, how are they "sure" of anything, except they found bones of one animal? Here's part of what was said:
"Professor Robin Crompton of Liverpool University has used computer modelling to reconstruct how Lucy walked based on the proportions of her skeleton. He assumed that Lucy could either have walked upright with a bent hip and knees like a chimp, or with straight legs like a human."
Again, "assumed" means it was 100% for certain that way? 40% of a skeleton of ONE creature is proof that we all came from ape like creatures? Do you see how much blind faith it takes to believe that? They say "she" lived 3.5 million years ago. How can they prove it was 3.5 million, or 5000 years ago? The real truth is, they can't. They throw out numbers, because who can PROVE they are wrong?
Try walking around for one day with your knees bent. Lets see how easy that would be. Again, they make comments that they are SURE of with no proof of any of it more then what they fabricate.
And vestigial structures that are funtional?
Lets see......birds with wings that don't fly. Where is the proof that those species of birds EVER flew? Just because they have wings, it HAS to be for flight only? Couldn't the reasons you listed that they use them for be the reason God made them have wings in the first place? Or does it have to be that because WE (man) thinks they are vestigial, they ARE vestigial?
Couldn't it be "Some still use their wings to glide, balance, and even attracting mates" that that is how God designed those particular birds?
Some birds have teeth. Even though some fossilized "bird like" creatures had teeth and feathers, and scientists point to those as "birds that were evolving". Yet some today have teeth. What does that prove?
Believe me, i'm not at ALL worked up about what has been typed. Actually, all that has been said just further solidifies my faith. The things that have been used to try to show i am wrong in my thinking, i think i have shown very possible alternatives to. Just in this one posting, i have shown that.
Two people can look at the same thing, and come up with 2 different explanations. You see what these scientists say, and decide to take what they say as "gospel". I see what they write, and see all the things missing from their theories. Like saying something is "vestigial" just because we don't know if there just might be a reason they were designed that way. Take my previous explanation of the whale bones. People read what the scientists write, and believe it. I mean, they are scientists! They MUST be right, right? Yet anyone with any knowledge of whale anatomy KNOWS what the bones were designed for in the first place. For the muscle anchor points.
They use people's lack of knowledge to further their agenda.
