I will start off by saying that you can believe ANYTHING you want to. I don't care what anyone thinks, I have NEVER said anything to the contrary. While I believe in something that I consider to be the Truth, that does not mean that I FORCE it on anyone. I will provide links and quotes that support what I believe. If you choose to accept it, great! If not, that's your choice.
I believe that God created everything. Science is something, therefore God created science too. (Remember, that is my belief and the belief of at least 4 billion other people. The 4 billion is an estimate of Christians, Muslims and Jews in the world. All of whom believe in intelligent design. This does NOT mean that you HAVE to believe too.)
It is widely acknowledged that the fossil record is incomplete. Yet many Persons who study fossil organisms and their related remains.paleontologists hold that while incomplete, the fossil record is generally adequate enough to discern patterns such as stasis and absence of gradual evolutionary trends.26 The A member of the biological family Hominidae, which includes all the "great apes," - extinct and extant humans, chimpanzees, gorillas, and orangutans.hominid fossil record too is incomplete, but it is questionable if the A member of the biological family Hominidae, which includes all the "great apes," - extinct and extant humans, chimpanzees, gorillas, and orangutans.hominid fossil record is adequate to discern clear The study of relatedness among various groups of organisms (e.g., species, populations), determined through sequencing and morphological data.phylogenetic relationships. Most A member of the biological family Hominidae, which includes all the "great apes," - extinct and extant humans, chimpanzees, gorillas, and orangutans.hominid fossil discoveries are partial The part of the skull that encloses the brain.crania, partial jaws, isolated teeth or and occasionally isolated limbs.27, 28 It is very rare for Scientists who study a branch of anthropology dealing with fossil hominids.paleoanthropologists to find a complete The part of the skull that encloses the brain.cranium, let alone a complete skeleton. Moreover, very few of the extinct A member of the biological family Hominidae, which includes all the "great apes," - extinct and extant humans, chimpanzees, gorillas, and orangutans.hominid species are known from a large numbers of samples. In most cases, there are a limited number of specimens that are attributed to a given A member of the biological family Hominidae, which includes all the "great apes," - extinct and extant humans, chimpanzees, gorillas, and orangutans.hominid species. Further compounding this problem, is the fact that the A member of the biological family Hominidae, which includes all the "great apes," - extinct and extant humans, chimpanzees, gorillas, and orangutans.hominid remains often have been crushed, shattered, and deformed prior to fossilization or through geological processes. (See below for a further discussion on the particular problems associated with Referring to the part of the skull that encloses the brain.cranial fossils and their use to estimate A member of the biological family Hominidae, which includes all the "great apes," - extinct and extant humans, chimpanzees, gorillas, and orangutans.hominid brain volume.)
It is not clear how many A member of the biological family Hominidae, which includes all the "great apes," - extinct and extant humans, chimpanzees, gorillas, and orangutans.hominid species have existed throughout the course of the last 4.5 million years. In part, this is due to the incompleteness of the fossil record. However, it is also a function of the nature of the A member of the biological family Hominidae, which includes all the "great apes," - extinct and extant humans, chimpanzees, gorillas, and orangutans.hominidfossil record as well. With a limited number of Referring to the part of the skull that encloses the brain.cranial and post Referring to the part of the skull that encloses the brain.cranial fossil fragments to work with it is not clear if observed differences in morphology are true indicators of a novel species or simply intraspecific variations within a population, across geography or through time. This problem and its implications are illustrated in a recent report describing a newly discovered partial The part of the skull that encloses the brain.cranium and partial jaw ascribed to A species of extinct hominid, living 2.6 to 1.2 million years ago, considered it to be the first hominin species to use stone tools. Formerly classified as Australopithecus boisei.Paranthropus boisei.29, 30
The ambiguity surrounding the definition of a species further complicates the process of determining the number of A member of the biological family Hominidae, which includes all the "great apes," - extinct and extant humans, chimpanzees, gorillas, and orangutans.hominid species.31 There is no established relationship between morphological differences and speciation. A species can be defined as an interbreeding population (biological species concept) or as morphologically distinct populations (The study of relatedness among various groups of organisms (e.g., species, populations), determined through sequencing and morphological data.phylogenetic species concept). Based on which concept the researcher embraces he/she will either view novel anatomical features as indicative of a new species (splitters) or as an intraspecific variation (lumpers). That is, researcher opinion may have as much to do with determining A member of the biological family Hominidae, which includes all the "great apes," - extinct and extant humans, chimpanzees, gorillas, and orangutans.hominid Taxonomic units are names designating groups of organisms.taxa as does objective scientific data. In addition, recent studies of plant33 and bacterial34 kingdoms suggest that morphology alone is often not indicative of genetic relationships.
Evolutionary The histories of descent of taxa from common ancestors, including the relative times at which species branched or diverged from each other.phylogenies (relationships) are determined by comparing anatomical similarities in the fossil record and among extant species. Given the problems with the A member of the biological family Hominidae, which includes all the "great apes," - extinct and extant humans, chimpanzees, gorillas, and orangutans.hominid fossil record it is questionable if evolutionary biologists can ever hope for more than crude working The histories of descent of taxa from common ancestors, including the relative times at which species branched or diverged from each other.phylogenies.32 Examination of textbooks and treatises on human evolution point to the reality that Scientists who study a branch of anthropology dealing with fossil hominids.paleoanthropologists are far from reaching a consensus on the pathway of A member of the biological family Hominidae, which includes all the "great apes," - extinct and extant humans, chimpanzees, gorillas, and orangutans.hominid and human evolution.35, 36 The uncertainty of A member of the biological family Hominidae, which includes all the "great apes," - extinct and extant humans, chimpanzees, gorillas, and orangutans.hominid The study of relatedness among various groups of organisms (e.g., species, populations), determined through sequencing and morphological data.phylogenetic relationships has recently been underscored.37, 38 Scientists who study a branch of anthropology dealing with fossil hominids.Paleoanthropologists, Bernard Wood and Mark Collard have presented a convincing argument for the removal of the two closely related species An extinct species of the genus Homo, which lived approximately 2.5 million to 1.6 million years ago.Homo habilis and An ape-like extinct bipedal hominid that lived in Africa around 1.9 million years ago.Homo rudolfensis from the genus A genus within the subfamily Homininae that includes modern humans and related species (e.g., Homo habilis, Homo erectus, Homo ergaster, and Homo sapiens).Homo and their placement among Referring to members of a genus of extinct hominids, characterized by being the earliest bipedal primate (up to 3.7 million years ago).Australopithecines. An extinct species of the genus Homo, which lived approximately 2.5 million to 1.6 million years ago.Homo habilis and An ape-like extinct bipedal hominid that lived in Africa around 1.9 million years ago.Homo rudolfensis are now recognized as having ape-like body mass, body proportions, teeth, and jaws closely related to Referring to members of a genus of extinct hominids, characterized by being the earliest bipedal primate (up to 3.7 million years ago).Australopithecines. The The ability of a species to utilize a form of walking characterized by an erect stance in which the rear legs are used for movement.bipedalism possessed by these organisms is also distinct from the obligate The ability of a species to utilize a form of walking characterized by an erect stance in which the rear legs are used for movement.bipedalism of The only surviving hominid species, comprising modern human beings and characterized as being a bipedal primate with a large brain capacity, capable of language and the ability to make and use complex tools.Homo sapiens, and closely aligned to that of the Referring to members of a genus of extinct hominids, characterized by being the earliest bipedal primate (up to 3.7 million years ago).Australopithecines. A An extinct species of the genus Homo, which lived approximately 2.5 million to 1.6 million years ago.Homo habilis and An ape-like extinct bipedal hominid that lived in Africa around 1.9 million years ago.Homo rudolfensis and the other Referring to members of a genus of extinct hominids, characterized by being the earliest bipedal primate (up to 3.7 million years ago).Australopithecines displayed facultative The ability of a species to utilize a form of walking characterized by an erect stance in which the rear legs are used for movement.bipedalism and the capability for tree climbing.39, 40 This new understanding now weakens the position of An extinct species of the genus Homo, which lived approximately 2.5 million to 1.6 million years ago.Homo habilis and An ape-like extinct bipedal hominid that lived in Africa around 1.9 million years ago.Homo rudolfensis as transitional species. These two species have long been regarded as transitional species between the Referring to members of a genus of extinct hominids, characterized by being the earliest bipedal primate (up to 3.7 million years ago).Australopithecines and An extinct species of the genus Homo, which appeared approximately 1.8 million years ago.Homo erectus. Placement of species An extinct species of the genus Homo, which lived approximately 2.5 million to 1.6 million years ago.Homo habilis and An ape-like extinct bipedal hominid that lived in Africa around 1.9 million years ago.Homo rudolfensis among Referring to members of a genus of extinct hominids, characterized by being the earliest bipedal primate (up to 3.7 million years ago).Australopithecines creates a discontinuity in A member of the biological family Hominidae, which includes all the "great apes," - extinct and extant humans, chimpanzees, gorillas, and orangutans.hominid The histories of descent of taxa from common ancestors, including the relative times at which species branched or diverged from each other.phylogenies. This recent work was not cited in the Time article. Could it be that the reason for this is that it does not help "fill in the story of how we evolved", but reveals how little insight Scientists who study a branch of anthropology dealing with fossil hominids.paleoanthropologists have into human origins?
There are other problems that frustrate Scientists who study a branch of anthropology dealing with fossil hominids.paleoanthropologists' efforts to establish A member of the biological family Hominidae, which includes all the "great apes," - extinct and extant humans, chimpanzees, gorillas, and orangutans.hominid evolutionary relationships.41 Convergent features are quite common among A member of the biological family Hominidae, which includes all the "great apes," - extinct and extant humans, chimpanzees, gorillas, and orangutans.hominid fossils and suggest evolutionary connections among Members of the biological family Hominidae, which includes all the "great apes," - extinct and extant humans, chimpanzees, gorillas, and orangutans.hominids that do not exist. It is troubling to discover that Scientists who study a branch of anthropology dealing with fossil hominids.paleoanthropologists recognize this as a wide spread problem, but have no clear understanding as which traits are convergent. Additionally, small data sets that are focused on A member of the biological family Hominidae, which includes all the "great apes," - extinct and extant humans, chimpanzees, gorillas, and orangutans.hominid The part of the skull that encloses the brain.crania also lead to artificial results, since other important anatomical features are disregarded. Postcranial fossils are not as abundant as Referring to the part of the skull that encloses the brain.cranial remains in the A member of the biological family Hominidae, which includes all the "great apes," - extinct and extant humans, chimpanzees, gorillas, and orangutans.hominid fossil record. Moreover, Referring to the part of the skull that encloses the brain.cranial traits are often treated as independent from one another. In actuality, many of these traits are more appropriately grouped as a trait complex. If trait complexes are not recognized, then artificially strong evolutionary relatedness is concluded when in fact it may not be the case at all.
It is clear that evolutionary relationships proposed by Scientists who study a branch of anthropology dealing with fossil hominids.paleoanthropologists are highly speculative and developed from unreliable and poorly understood data sets of limited size. In light of this, it is scientifically untenable to assert that human evolution is a fact. What is a fact, is that evolutionary biologists have chosen to interpret their data within an evolutionary paradigm exclusively. From this framework, they then declare that their data supports human evolution. In order to demonstrate that humans evolved by natural processes, there must be rigorous evidence of clearly established evolutionary relationships with obvious transitions in the fossil record. The fact that there is no consensus among Scientists who study a branch of anthropology dealing with fossil hominids.paleoanthropologists concerning the pathway of human evolution, nor can there ever be given the data available, means that human evolution has not been established as a fact. In addition to time-based verification, there also must be a well-defined mechanism that can produce the necessary evolutionary changes in the time available. Recent work on methodology to determine extinct A member of the biological family Hominidae, which includes all the "great apes," - extinct and extant humans, chimpanzees, gorillas, and orangutans.hominid brain size indicates that this is also not the case for human evolution.
