If someone designed us, they sure weren’t intelligent Despite all scientific evidence, evolution denialists maintain that it would be impossible to explain the process without a masterplan and ‘orchestra conductor.’ But in-depth biological study makes it clear that, if there was a plan to begin with, it wasn’t all that great Biological evolution is a fact, no matter how fervent its denialists. The supporting scientific evidence is overwhelming.
Evolution apologists have had to make changes to their discourse, adapting it to the extent that their arguments have become rather ridiculous. For some time, it was assumed by some that the Biblical story of creation was literal. Based on the telling of the holy book, Archbishop James Usher calculated that creation occurred on October 22 in the year 4004 BCE.
This contradicts geological evidence that points to the age of Earth being around 4.5 billion years old and doesn’t explain the existence of fossils of long-gone animals estimated to be millions of years old. No sacred text makes mention of them.
Peculiar explanations have been proposed to address these issues, such as God having created the fossils to test our faith and that the dinosaurs having gone extinct because they didn’t fit into Noah’s ark — but that they did live alongside humans before the flood. Of course, human and dinosaur fossils have never been found in the same geological strata. But that hasn’t dissuaded the most evolution-recalcitrant.
