Evolution question to Till

• Messages sorted by: [ date ][ thread ][ subject ][ author ]

I thoroughly enjoy this list, as I have learned much here.

But i do have an honest reservation about Evolution.

If macro-evolution is true, where are the human beings, which are not 
as fully human as you and I, living right now?

Some evolutionists I have debated formed a consensus:  these macro-
transitional forms died out, and that is why today you see only fully 
formed apes or fully formed-humans, with no living "in-between" 
humans.

My main objection to the "human-transitional-forms-have-all-died-out-
and-all-we-have-now-are-fossils" argument is that evolution is 
supposed to be LIFE ITSELF, which doesn't end.

I find it highly suspicious that human transitional forms are not 
living today even though evolutionists will point to many lesser 
animals as living transitional forms for lesser stages of current 
evolution.  And if differences between brain sizes, etc among 
todays's humans is touted as proof, are we really prepared to label 
some living humans as "sub-human"?

It would seem if evolution be true, then the bridge between man and 
ape, whoever or whatever it is, would still be alive today for 
exactly the same reasons that macro-transitional forms for lesser 
animals are living today as asserted by some evolutionists.  

I'm no friend of Genesis, but the lack of living transitional forms 
still seems to be an argument against macro-evolution.  It just seems 
like being limited to dead fossils introduces the ambiguity of even 
less certain methods of identification.  While I can see 
evolutionists disagreeing as to what fossil constitutes a 
transitional form, i would think even Christians could not dispute 
this matter if living forms just below the level of human, were 
discovered.  Human-like apes, as far as i can tell, have only been 
discovered on the planet of the apes.

Thank you for your time, and i apologize in advance if my question 
was untimely (if you have already answered it many times before I 
joined)


Christian
