True, but this is where I get confused. Who were the ancestors of the very first ancestors in the homonid line to procreate? And who were their
ancestors, and so forth?
Creationism has an answer here: Adam and Eve (which comes with other problems). However, can science ever tell us, who were the first defined
ancestors of humans in our lineage?
I can not name of elegantly the predecessors of the australopithecus.
Creationism although, doesn't have an answer, they but only have an alternative.
Science may never be able to show each intermediate of every single animal, because that's impossible, the fossils of every single animal and living
being, are no longer there!
We're lucky to know the ones we know of now!
We're lucky that they were fossilized at that!
Although, you suggested adam and eve, and i'm sure some eskimos would pose the Pod theory, we were all brought about through pods, scattered across
the world (AKA the Knowing Theory), or a cornucopia of other theories.
Adam and Eve, just sounds nice, we figure Adam, as a Tough mans man, and Eve as a beautiful woman.
Although, if it was true adam and eve, would be ugh, by our standards, not beautiful at all.
It may just be me, but I like probing, I like to be able to investigate things, !AND! come out with answers.
Evolution does this for me, it trumps the God theory by far. If I was to accept that, all of the sudden, the earth was made, then man immediately, it
leaves no mystery, no intrigue, but I would just find others, making way through the mystery and wonder, and having good ground!
Easy enough said, being a being that made it through millions of years worth of evolution earning our spot in the world, IMO trumps, immediately
gaining superiority.
We all came from 'common ancestors', these ancestors predate known creatures.
Those who doubt evolution, by insisting that micro exists, and macro exists.
Can a man not walk a mile, one step at a time.
Good question.
