Think about it. Even if evolution was disproved tomorrow, that will not change the fact that skeletons of ancient forms of humans still exist. If God is perfect and knows everything, why would he need to experiment with different forms of humans for a certain length of time before creating them as they should be? Shouldn't he have gotten it right the first time?
Also, there are many forms of humans which would mean that "God" would have had to experiment quite a few times on these many different forms of humans...
If the bible is true, why wasn't this mentioned? What type of human was Adam and Eve? All of this is just speculation. The obvious answer is that we need more research not just "God did it". This is an argument of ignorance because for any question in the world people can say "God did it". Imagine if someone said "How does rain happen" and that say "God did it" instead of doing the RESEARCH and actually learning about the rain cycle of precipitation, evaporation, condensation.... we would still be living in the dark ages...
I'm not saying that there is no God, or even there is no God that created the universe, but I highly doubt a PERFECT God would need to experiment with so many differen forms of humans like this.

How do you know what's perfect? You could run into something that is perfect and say it's imperfect because it's not the way YOU like it.

Who first called the large piles of stone mountains?

Because supposedly humans (us) were created perfectly in God's image. So a human not in God's image is not perfectly designed.edit on 2-10-2012 by arpgme because: (no reason given)

What if there is no free-will and we ARE being controlled just not aware of it?
What your argument implies is that if something were "perfect" (which is a total non-sequiter in the context of a god), there is no way anybody could possibly know about it.

So you have no basis on which to say, "This isn't perfect", because you wouldn't know perfection if it slapped you.
