Answer 4

I dont see dolphins going to mars - most of their brain mass is taken up with decoding their own sonar signals. second, if divine, why is the human body smelly and hairy with large genitalia and all sorts of other ape characterisitcs? Third, if divinely created one might expect no genetic plasticity in species: god designed a wolf to be a wolf. Yet in about 20000 yrs max (a  blip in evolutionary time) humans have bred from the wolf and the jackal by deliberate selection everything from a chihuahua to a mastiff to a poodle. The genetic capability for all those resides already in wolf and jackal. if god disagrees with this he can send me an email, not a great ask for the guy who created the universe surely

Answer 5

I wouldn't say either is a joke. People take their beliefs and their theories very seriously.

Seven days might not be accurate as we measure time. Who is to say how long a day was in the beginning of time, when there was no method of measuring time? A day could have been a thousand years by today's reckoning.

Evolution is, I believe, a misconception. Evolution exists. It is a matter of adaptation to circumstances. That does not mean that humans evolved from fish or apes. That's interspecies evolution, and I don't think that's possible.
