The first sentence of that article tells us the first thing worth knowing about human evolution.
|
There’s a dirty little secret in paleoanthropology: What we know about human evolution is that we don’t know much of the story. 1 |
They give examples of how the story has changed, then quote evolutionist Ian Tattersall.
|
“In the 45 years I’ve been doing this, the human fossil record has expanded enormously,” Tattersall says. “In 50 years, what we believe now will look just as quaint.” 2 |
What was true 45 years ago is no longer true today, and what is true today will be false in 50 years. That’s because it wasn’t true then, and isn’t true now. Why teach things that aren’t true?
|
In short, we may never find the ultimate missing link, which occurred an estimated 5 million to 8 million years ago. 3 |
There are two reasons why they won’t find the missing link. (1) It doesn’t exist. (2) Fossils can never prove evolution, no matter how many are found, because fossils can’t prove ancestry. The fact that fossils look similar doesn’t necessarily mean that the older one is the ancestor of the younger one, or that they both had the same ancestor some time in the past.
Even though they don’t expect to ever find fossil evidence that proves their theory, they will continue to believe it. Who needs proof if you have “science”?
