If You Deny Human Evolution, How Do You Explain The Fossil Records?

That still does not answer my question. What is the objectively verifiable evidence that verifies what the Bible claims is actually correct?

lol...it does...we're not talking about whether the Bible is correct or not...we're talking about doctrines people believe that are false/do not hold true to Gordy's litmus test...

"one should follow to where the evidence leads, not to where one wants it to go."

That’s literally how evolution works and it’s been observed. Species die out when they get out-competed in their ecological niche.

We’re not talking about a dog evolving into a poodle. The evolution spoken of pertaining to Homo sapiens should still have some remnants left over from before they evolved. Name one species we can have sex with producing a biological offspring looking a little bit like both species.

That not evolution.

Neanderthals for one. There’s a reason there are humans today with Neaderthal DNA.
 
Questerr said:
It’s not a deflection. The earth changes, ecological niches change, populations of species move.

Just because a species survived in its niche in the past, doesn’t stop it from not being able to survive in the future.

Changes to the ecology doesn’t happen over night. Throughout the changes (and there hasn’t been many) most species survived. The species of Homo sapiens has no intermediary lines to present as evidence that we evolved from them. Evolution of genos is mythological.

And those species didn’t go extinct overnight either.

Yes, humans killed off the prior Hominid species by either killing them directly or outcompeting them for food.

The world is a large one. You want me to believe that prior species couldn’t have migrated away from extinction? Evolution is mythology.
 
Questerr said:
No, it’s pretty basic science. You realize the vast majority of species that have ever existed are dead and extinct, right?

I’m not asking for vast numbers of survivors of intermediaries. Just a few where we can have sex with to produce offspring.

Again, evolution is not a conscious process. Most animals are not cognizant enough of the world to know that the long term survival of their species is in peril.

What are we evolving into? If the ecology is still changing we should be adapting to it. What subtle evolutionary changes have been observed in Homo sapiens?

We have no way of knowing for sure. Especially given that we have technology that mitigates many factors that would usually result in evolutionary changes.

We absolutely are talking about whether the Bible is correct or not. What is the objectively verifiable evidence that would lead one to go to the Bible as a correct source for reality?

Humans have learned to control their environment. We're not subject to selective pressure like other species.

Interspecies breeding is exceedingly rare in animals. What does that have to do with the fact that 99% of our DNA is identical to Chimps? Isn't obvious that we share a common ancestor?

Humans and chimps share a surprising 98.8 percent of their DNA.

We share 90% of our dna with cats. That doesn’t allow sex with them to produce offspring.

That’s not true for one and for two, the presence of Neanderthal DNA in humans means something very specific and it’s isn’t species wide. Only a few subsets of humans have Neanderthal DNA.
 
Daisy said:
Actually, that is also the way belief should be...few abide by that, though...

That's why belief fails and I go by science.

Blond hair, blues eyes, lactose tolerance, lighter skin pigmentation, to name a few.

No, we're not and for you to insist we are is beyond dishonest...we 're done...

And we’ve learned to mitigate things that would provide genetic selective pressure. For instance, people with severe allergies from a purely evolutionary standpoint should die out and their genetic lineage that causes those allergies should cease to be part of the species.

But we have interrupted that process.
