General Question
What do you think of the following information about creationism and human evolution?
Creationists believe that the universe was created in seven days. Yet the Torah makes no such claims. It refers only to seven “periods of time”, or yom, which meant aeon in ancient Hebrew. The error appeared as a result if translation between Hebrew, Greek, and Latin. Therefore, the supposed creationist age of the Earth as less than 10,000 years is baseless. Another creationist myth is that we evolved from the apes. We evolved alongside the apes and continue to do so. Our evolutionary paths diverged from a commin ancestor some 8,000,000 years ago (maybe in Africa’s Great Rift Valley, who knows, lol), eventually diversifying into some 20 different hominin species. But by the last million years or so, there were only 4 species of man left walking on Earth: Homo heidelbergensis, from which Homo erectus and Homo neanderthalensis evolved, and our direct ancestors, Homo sapiens, who dwelled in Africa.
