Change the following: |

"Since the 1970s, the commonest form of this has been Young Earth Creationism which posits special creation of the universe and lifeforms within the last 10,000 years on the basis of Flood geology, and promotes pseudoscientific creation science. From the 18th century onward, Old Earth Creationism accepted geological time harmonized with Genesis through gap or day-age theory, while supporting anti-evolution. Modern old-Earth creationists support progressive creationism and continue to reject evolutionary explanations. Following political controversy, creation science was reformulated as intelligent design and neo-creationism." |

I challenge the "neutrality" (Article Policy) of the word MYTH when referring to the Genesis account of creation. There are several definitions, and the one chosen by your source, a skeptic of creationism, is derogatory of the Genesis account. A common understanding of the word MYTH is that it's an invented story, idea, or concept; an imaginary or fictitious thing or person; an unproved or false collective belief that is used to justify a social institution.{Dictionary.com} Article is tainted. The word "myth" as used by skeptics of the Genesis account of creation does not come from a "Neutral point of view" as required by Article Policy. It would be sufficient to simply call it "the Genesis account." <!-- Template:Unsigned --><span class="autosigned" style="font-size:85%;">— Preceding ] comment added by ] (] • ]) 06:54, 22 June 2022 (UTC)</span> <!--Autosigned by SineBot--> |

:The use of the word 'myth' in this context is actually discussed explicitly by the cited source which appears directly after the word is first used in the article (Scott 2009, p58). Here is a brief extract: {{tq|...the word ''myth'' is a term of art in the anthroplogical study of cultures. The common connotation of ''myth'' is something that is untrue, primitive or superstitious – something that should be discounted. Yet when anthropologists talk of myths, it is to describe stories within a culture that symbolise what members of that culture hold to be most important. A culture's myths are unquestionably important, and ''myth'' is not a term of denigration.}} In that context, I believe that it is the appropriate term to use in our article.

The very first line in the '''''Christian Criticism''''' section states that: "<u>'''Most'''</u> Christians disagree with the teaching of creationism as an alternative to evolution in schools." I am challenging this claim. |
|
Replying to Theroadislong: |
|
|
Evolution is a theory without proof, based on homology and measurement of simple anatomical characteristics. It has gained popularity from the perspective of comparison of anatomical remains and comparing skull sizes and shapes. It relies on skull volume indicating intelligence, however, this is a misogynistic proposition, stating women are intellectually inferior to men. It cannot account for how any human being was or is in capacity, for instance, the intelligence of a computer in the 1950's was far less to a smart phone. Yet the former has a larger amount of wires from the perspective of its volume. The neuronal connections are unknown, the brain, memory and intelligence are far from understood. It would be best to call evolution an atheistic hypothesis. It is not far from non-sense, it states we originate from and are ourselves Great Apes. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
As the (2) citations for this statement cite two books to support its stance (''none'' of which have undertaken the required scientific polls or other methods to verify its legitimacy), I am challenging unsubstantiated assertion. It is simply an opinion held by these two authors, which are not real proofs to support such a broad assertion. It is much more accurate to say that ''Some'' rather than ''Most'' disagree, since these two books on their own cannot justify a broad claim as so, and should be shown as so. ] (]) 20:15, 5 November 2022 (UTC) |

== Adnan Oktar == |
|
If carbon dating were correct, then modern human would have walked the Earth for around 100 000 years. However, if every couple on average had 4 children then for every person there would be two descendants. If this was drawn as a graph, then 2 to the ~33rd power is equal to 7 billion. This means there would be a total of 33 generations of human beings. If we say for instance only half the families survived, halving the total to 3.5 billion. Then only one generation later it would total 7 billion, if every couple had 4 children, with 2 children allocated per person (3.5 x 2 = 7 billion). The same goes for 1.75 billion, making 34 generations (1.75 x 2 x 2 = 7 billion). If there was just over one child per person on average, so with couples having just over 2 children on average, then this would amount to 237 generations to reach 7 billion. The event of 4 or 5 children is more realistic, due to this being the case in tribal, agrarian and hunter-gatherer cultures. This can be seen as a . Many tribes would have to have died, in the smallest case where every couple had just over 2 children, there could be 10 to the 59th power of people who died. The other case is that for over a total of 700 non-consecutive generations there was just below 2 children per couple. |

|
For the last case the calculations were from dividing 100 000 with 50, giving 1428 generations. If for every couple there were just above 2 children, then we would reach 7 billion in 237 generations. Then it would take 237 generations just below 2 children per couple to get back to one person on the planet. So there would have to have been the combination of a nearly half the people having just 2 children and many tribes perishing to take 100 000 years to reach 7 billion. However, a tribe may not survive with just 2 children per partners. So many tribes would have to have not survived, however, there is not much archaeological evidence of this. There is also the premise that in no case there were 34 generations of 4 children per couple, without having the opposite tree of 1 child per 2 couples for 34 generations. |

There is also the fact that the African continent is from coast to coast at about 10 000 kilometers, e.g. from Cape Town in South-Africa to Alexandria in Egypt. Walking 8 hours per day at 5 kilometres per hour, this distance could be covered in 36 weeks. Therefore, it is not realistic to say the migration took millennia, due to food insecurity with a nomadic culture that does not migrate constantly to find new sources of food. <!-- Template:Unsigned IP --><small class="autosigned">— Preceding ] comment added by ] (]) 12:34, 11 July 2020 (UTC)</small> <!--Autosigned by SineBot--> |
