I can see the earth is round and I will need to look up the other thing. I do ask questions to satisfy my curiosity. I detect some animus in your post……you going to be ok?
Just as there are multiple species of apes, there were also multiple species of humans. We know of at least a dozen different species of humans (Homo habilis, Homo erectus, Homo ergaster, Homo rudolfensis, Homo antecessor, Homo cepranensis, Homo heidelbergensis, Homo rhodensis, Homo Neanderthals, Homo floresiensis, Homo sapiens idaltu, and Denisovans), besides our own, that have gone extinct within the last 4 million years. Homo sapiens (modern humans) are relatively new to the scene, only evolving 180,000 to 200,000 years ago. The last human species to go extinct were the Neanderthals about 10,000 years ago. Although there is DNA evidence that they were "absorbed" within our species through interbreeding.
Being curious doesn't automatically question scientific theory. Being ignorant causes one to question scientific theory. The Greeks knew the Earth was spherical 5,000 years ago because they did the math. Those who do not believe the world is generally round are simply ignorant, which has absolutely nothing to do with curiosity and everything to do with abject stupidity.
A lot of them because of the Toba event, which damn near did us in, too.
That word doesn’t show up in my everyday life. I don’t have an issue admitting when I don’t know. Anyone can look shit up and feign knowledge. After looking, I am aware of the meaning of the term.
That is just one hypothesis, and not without flaws.
The battle between science and the church goes way back. Heliocentrism vs geocentrism; sun centered vs earth centered solar system.
Meaning of course - the previous science was, in fact, wrong (or shall we say, "not perfect?")
And each time they do, they prove the previous models, or science were in fact wrong.
No, it doesn't You just don't understand the actual meaning of either 'faith' or 'belief' and are you confounding both with some sort of anti-supernatural, spiritual bias.
It's Science that explains the natural world around us and not belief in god/gods. On one hand you have genetics, microbiology, archaeology, paleontology etc. The tangible and the testable. And the other hand you have "God did it" Children aren't going to become future geneticists if their learning material is littered with "Kent Hovind and Kirk Cameron Adam and Eve had pet dinosaurs nonsense"
Well.... that's convenient. LOL
Gonna go out on a limb here - lemme guess, you majored in Rote?
This is about as dumb as the Herschel Walker argument of "Then why are there still monkeys?"
That would be you in this thread.
Kind of like an anti vaxer or an election truther. The same kind of person who believe the lies of a man like Trump.
That’s not quote true. We know Newton’s law of gravitation is wrong, we know Boyle’s law of gasses is wrong. But they’re still science, and still useful and used.
Because they merge.
And that's why we have dumb people. They're too lazy to educate themselves.
