Is there any evidence that people...Good questions:<br /><br />Is there any evidence that people have inhabited the earth for a very long time?<br /><br />Yes using current scientific measuring techniques it appears that Homo Sapiens have lived on earth for 400,000 to 200,000 years BCE<br /><br />Was there a real first man and woman?<br /><br />Not too sure what “real” means in this sentence but genetically there was likely a real first mating pair of any species and that would include Homo Sapiens.<br /><br /><br />Is there a perfect future? How do you know?<br /><br />As Christians the Bible and our philosophy point to a hope of a perfect future. As a “hope” however it is not something we “know” it is something we believe in…hope for and dream of.<br /><br />Was there a perfect past? How do you know?<br /><br />What defines perfect? In this case does that mean ever a time without death. Again scientifically we see no evidence of a perfect past, we can look back at the first creatures the bacteria and we see massive death for them as they are found in rocks dating to 3 billion years old. http://geology.utah.gov/surveynotes/articles/pdf/oldestfossils_37-2.pdf<br /><br /><br />Is the present perfect? How do you know?<br /><br />I think all would agree from experience that the present is not perfect.Ron Corsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02160607058464028162noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10270506.post-61980964411758522472009-10-17T09:29:29.033-07:002009-10-17T09:29:29.033-07:00Is there any evidence that people have inhabited t...Is there any evidence that people have inhabited the earth for a very long time?<br /><br />Was there a real first man and woman?<br /><br />Is there a perfect future?
