Man has been highly intelligent from his creation. That you think that they were not simply shows your own massive stupidity. The idea of stone age men that could only grunt is a silly evolutionary myth.
The Judeo-christian scriptures were started in the Second Millenium BCE. That's in the Bronze Age, which is what I wrote. The stone age, which I didn't mention at all, ended a thousand years before the advent of that writing, and began 3.4 million years earlier.
You might also spot, if you care to look back, that I wrote 'ignorant', which according to Google means
lacking knowledge or awareness in general; uneducated or unsophisticated. It does not mean lacking intelligence.
I see that you know nothing about liquefaction or water lenses. The "apparent sequences of changes in the anatomy of similar animals" is in your head.
Living in an earthquake-prone country as I do, I am aware of what liquefaction is. What is a water lens?
Stuu: Very true. It's amazing that we have as many well-resolved lineages as we do.
It's not amazing... it's evidence that they got there during a recent catastrophe called the global flood. Long ages of dead things rarely create ANY fossils.
I didn't follow any of that. Lineages of fossils are evidence that there was a recent flood? How does that work? What are long ages of dead things?
The "well-resolved lineages" is all in your head.
These images are just a small selection of the sequence of fossil remains of horse ancestors. The sequence is much more than just these four.
Here you can find a nice ASCII diagram of horse evolution. It's not a linear sequence, but has many branches.
I would suggest to you that your flood model does not explain why animals went extinct before others appeared in dated strata. Even if you wish to deny the timescale of radioisotope dating, you haven't yet denied that it acts like a clock which can put layers into a sequence like the one on the cited page, which it does.
Like I said, there are tons of fossils which confirms the flood account of their creation. Fossils are formed ONLY under certain types of conditions.
Yes indeed. Flooding with silt is a good way of attempting to make fossils. The hominid fossils mentioned above are rare because forests are not good at making fossils. They are quite acidic environments.
Conditions that do NOT occur very often at all, except during events like a catastrophic global flood.
But floods that preserve fossils would not need to be global, would they?
