They wrote, “Evolutionary scenarios are appealing because they provide plausible explanations based on current knowledge, but unless grounded in testable hypotheses, they are no more than ‘just-so stories.’”
Strong enough evidence would leave no room for just-so stories. Could all this room for storytelling arise in the wake of an absence of evidence for human evolution?
Q: If we really evolved from animals, shouldn’t we find enough fossils for objective scientists to reach some level of consensus over? Shouldn’t the fossils dictate which animal morphed into the next in a chain that led to us? The Science report offered at least two reasons—which amount to excuses—for the difficulties that paleo experts face in constructing an anti-Bible human history.
For one excuse, the study authors decry a “highly incomplete and fragmentary nature of the hominoid fossil record.” How convenient to claim that the record of the story we want to tell is simply missing the key elements of that story.
Q: How can we know that a
record is incomplete—let alone “highly incomplete”—if we don’t even have
the record?" ICR
