Have you ever stood ontop of Half Dome in Yosemite Nat'l park? Seen a Sequoia or Bristlecone pine? I wont even mention The Grand Canyon or fossil remains of more recent mammals like the Saber Tooth , giant Sloths or Wooly Mamoths. There's also the earliest known camel, called Protylopus, lived in North America 40 to 50 million years ago was about the size of a rabbit and lived in South Dakota . We had these Short Faced Bears in our area along with the Saber Tooths, thankfully we had use of fire by then to ward of these & the dreaded dire wolves that were the alpha predators . Fire must have been our great ally then...which is man in control & able to create heat & "light". (from those first ancestors they dicovered over 1mil yrs ago first using fire in Africa)

You've got a point in that people tend to see differences before they see similarities. We look for the most similar species and then we proudly point out the differences yet the similarities are glaring. Is there such a big difference between species, look around, a dog or a horse has two ears, two eyes, a brain and nervous system and lungs. And today we are asked to accept science on faith by the lab coat clerics who declare they have everyone's best interest at heart. They say the science is settled.

"I believe the universe is 6k-8k years old . . . I believe it, and all we now see, was Created in six, 24-hour days. There has been no evidence to counter this belief .. and has been lots of evidence to confirm it. The dating system used that causes us to quote "millions of years" is greatly flawed for such large measurements. Evolution - so you see our similarity to apes and that causes you to believe totally in Evolution? Do you, like Darwin in his racism, see how much closer people from Africa look like apes? . . and therefore put them "lower on the chain"? (I do not!) What about all of the scientific problems with Evolution .. do you consider those or do you just let them slide because of your bias to believe in Evolution? Charles Darwin in his "Origin of Species" book stated the things that would make his Theory false .. and they have all come true. Charles Darwin no longer believes in Evolution. This is just for starters . . if you'd like to discuss any of the many specific scientific problems with Evolution I would love to. I am all about Truth . . I have no agenda or bias . . . I have years of study that have formed my beliefs and am ready to defend them whenever anyone asks me to explain it. I will always make my defense with gentleness and respect ... I request that everyone do the same. Thanks! ( I will NOT respond to anyone not showing respect and gentleness ) “I have years of study that have formed my beliefs and am ready to defend them whenever anyone asks me to explain it. I will always make my defense with gentleness and respect” Really?! I don’t automatically respect people posting their superstitious beliefs on the internet. For all I know you might be a despicable person with very immoral and shady behaviours. I will, however, consider whether or not your arguments are worthy of respect or deserving of contempt. That seems fair to me. This board is an interchange of ideas. When ideas are absurd, contemptible, and unfit for human consumption, they ought to be disrespected. You do not get a free pass to make idiotic and irrational statements without challenge, simply because you pretend to have a special privilege unknown to the rest of us. The fact that you pass on your idiotic crap to our kids says something about how much respect you might be entitled to as a person...
