We are looking at the same evidence. How that evidence is interpreted shapes our view. I believe God created a perfect world where animals and humans live in peace. I believe the pre-flood world was a lot different than what we see today, as evidenced by the fossil and archaeological records. It’s clearly evident by the fossil record this world experienced a flooding event over 100% of the known land mass. I also believe pre-flood it was one land mass, Pangea if you will. We can agree on that. I actually believe God divided the continents when he separated the peoples after the destruction of the Tower of Babel. Look at the tectonic plates and the earth beneath the surface of the ocean. Look at the continents. You could almost put them all back together like puzzle pieces. After this continental separation you had speciation within the animal kingdom as animals were cut off from as much genetic diversity. Same thing with humans. As we were divided certain segments expressed traits bound within that genetic population. Regardless we are all people. All human. I really don’t like the idea of evolution from primitive life forms, because if true, we are nothing more than the animals we hunt and domesticate, and I think you would agree from your previous posts, we are of higher intellect, set apart, different than other created things. Also, if evolution of humans from primitive beings is true, it supports racism and genocide of the lower forms of human intelligence, which I’m vehemently opposed to. I could be wrong, but my interpretation of the accentuated facial features and stature of some of the fossil records supports longer living humans. Stronger physically, longer lives, better diets, more robust skeletal structures, etc. I don’t think it takes millions of years to see sone of the selectively bred or isolated traits to be expressed. Look at what we can do to animals over only a few generations through selective breeding. Dogs are dogs. Horses are horses. Humans are humans, but look at the changes in physical appearance and phenotype that can occur in extremely short amounts of time through selective breeding. I don’t think climatological changes take as long to impact living things responses to it either. We and all other life forms can adapt fairly quickly. It’s written in our genetic code by our Creator.
