Which is exactly why God couldn't 'have done it', even if he would exist.

Somehow the standard 'evolutionary' generalisation just doesnt make sense, I mean, 3 million years to get to where we are now, common, give me a break here... and as for God, well you can toss cultism to winds for all I care.
But perhaps the most disturbing is the self evident fact we are all just animals but why do we always seek to distance ourselves from our fellow animals with all those purile self justifications about 'civilized accomplishments, tool wielding and complex languages or the way we distance ourselves from nature even when we are all so obviously an integral componant of nature?



And right here you forget that we are indeed 'just animals' and evolved from animal species who existed before us, and those evolved from species before them and so on. Thus 3 million years is not all the time 'we had to evolve' at all.
Besides, not every mutation takes place at every place either, but it's about those who survive, not those who mutate.

Quote:

Even if you trace neurological evolution back to one cell 3 billion years ago it still represents 33 per day, an enormous and impossible task. If mutation caused the added brain cells in such a frequency, why doesnt it still add them today? And what caused such incredible rates of mutation? To discuss how random chance would be responsible for the addition of any one brain cell would be very enlightening to the scientific and medical community indeed.



Actually, this is not much of an argument, because most brain cells are rather similar. Remember that there has to be mutation before or during the process of 'growing a brain'. Any being that has a mutation that is lethal won't survive, so any 'wrong mutations' are wiped out rather quick.

About why it doesn't happen this fast today. Not that hard either, people probably do not get that much children anymore as 3 million years ago (birth mortality was high, so to survive as species many children were needed ) together with modern medical healthcare this seems to slow evolution down, especially since the natural selection processes are being influenced and the 'environment' we live in is simply way different compared to back then.

We are trying to kid ourselves and why? So that we dont have to accept the moral obligations of a creator.



The evidence really speaks for itself though when it comes to evolution. Even if God created the very very first pre-cell life, the rest definitely came into existence through evolution.
