Creation Moment 7/16/2016 - Without BREAKDANCING?

Whoso sheddeth man's blood, by man shall his blood be shed:
for in the image of God made he man.
Genesis 9:6

"Look at the pictures in Live Science’s article, “1.5-Million-Year-Old Footprints Reveal Human Ancestor Walked Like Us.”

They look like they could have been made yesterday, if it weren’t for the fact that they were made in a place paleoanthropologists claim is long before modern humans walked the earth. Does this make any sense? Megan Gannon writes,
In 2009, paleontologists discovered human-like footprints near the eastern shores of Lake Turkana in Ileret, Kenya. The fossilized tracks suggested similarities to modern human feet, including an arch, a rounded heel and a big toe aligned parallel with the other toes. But at 1.5 million years old, these prints were much too old to belong to Homo sapiens, or modern humans. They were attributed to Homo erectus, an early human ancestor.
 
Now, researchers think they know why there were so many similarities: Homo erectus may have walked like we do today.
 
Ideology is driving interpretation here. There should be noticeable differences in 1.5 million years of evolutionary time, if humans were evolving from ape-like ancestors. But it gets worse. We’ve
reported several times that the Laetoli footprints, said to be 3.6 million years old, are also identical to modern prints. In the evolutionary timeline, Homo erectus did not appear until 2 million years ago. To maintain the ideology, the Laetoli prints were “attributed” to Australopithecus, the genus of Lucy who was barely down from the trees.

Walking like a man takes a big brain, because upright walking involves the whole body, not just the feet. If the evolutionary story is to be believed, one has to postulate that creatures with modern human feet walked the earth for nearly 4 million years without inventing football or break dancing. That’s almost 400 times as long as all recorded human history." CEH
