You either understand what I'm getting at, or you don't
But I wish you'd make up my mind.
After a while it becomes like a blonde putting lipstick on her forhead.
TextUm no.... You do realize that as one species continues to mutate and receive more adaptations it slowly stops looking and behaving like it started out as right? Eventually those changes add up and we call that new animal a different species. Why don't you try explaining why we can trace evolutionary lineage all the way back to single celled organisms through DNA gene sequencing?
I don't understand your lipstick comment however, nor do I see any reason for it other than to prove once and for all what an ass you are and to what lengths you will go to show it.

Always the same with you people. You don't want to understand
and you will resort to name calling and violate the T&C so you don't
have too.
Admittedly, this entire technique is merely scientific speculation.
You may want to keep in mind that you are the one that said you didn’t understand evolution and didn’t want to. You might need to ask yourself why the majority on this thread have continuously asked you to clarify your point. The problem is, you don’t know enough about evolution to make an argument against it. I don’t believe the bible, but least I’ve read it. Most of it anyway, I skipped the begats, boring.

And a person would have to be out their skull just to postulate
such a speculation. Let alone attempt it! But I'm the one who
doesn't understand? I understand BS perfectly when I read it
and hear it.

What the point of this wall of text?
Anthropologists are paid to find pre-human fossils not Sasquatch fossils therfore your argument is invalid.
Neo-darwinism has completely left Symbosis in the dark and is a much more viable theory.

I see no problem with believing in "God using Evolution". In fact if you are someone who believes in a Creative God I would think it would be automatic to say that God uses the Evolutionary process. I mean, how else would God be creating stuff if he wasn't using those Processes??? It's not like creatures just pop out of nowhere like magic, or simply fall from the sky and start roaming around.
Obviously the Processes of Evolution and Selection are happening so anyone who chooses to believe those processes were created and/or directed by a God just makes sense. Some people simply choose to leave God out of it until they find out for sure there is such a thing.
It makes me wonder just how those who believe in God think He's creating or manipulating life if He's Not using evolution to do it.
Plus there is the problem that even if there was a God, what is his origin then??? Where did he come from??? If you say He always existed or created Himself then that is no different than saying the Universe Created itself or that it has always existed. You see the problem there???

From these 3 scientific facts we can conclude that whatever initiated the big bang was outside of time, space, and matter as we define them today.
Cosmologists have attempted to fudge the numbers via the singularity, but in a philosophical sense, something that is timeless, spaceless, and immaterial (since none of these things existed prior to the big bang) need not obey any of the laws we associate with the aforementioned things .
Hence, the notion that "God" needed a creator is diametrically opposed not only to the very definition of what God is (eternal), but also to the idea that it must have obeyed the 3 things it created that did not exist prior to their definition in reality.
We can see this logical fallacy played out in the vain efforts of the atheist to postulate that we live in a simulation when they fail to address who coded it.
Edit to add:
I really would like a solid answer from Randy however, or maybe one of the people that gave his OP a star. I still don't see how the concept of civilizations in pre-history disproves evolution.
