If man was a "perfect creation" that would imply... you know... perfection. Is that difficult to understand? degradation of perfection implies... you know... not perfection.That makes no sense. Early man, (whatever that means) was obviously not created perfect. Perfection would be precisely that: perfection, thus your claim that it took time for mutations to do their job is a nonsensical claim. Oddly, youre actually describing the process of evolution in defining that it took time for mutations to do their job. The other implication is that your designer gods are incompetent boobs when it comes to design.Nope, i'm shooting holes in yours.
You see early man was created perfect and it took time for mutations to do their job. Inbreeding was stopped a long time ago because God ordered it ,why ? because if he didn't stop it man would have been plagued by genetic disorders due to mutations and man would have gone extinct.
That is why early man lived much longer and over time the average lifespan decreased significantly. We have around 5,000 genetic disorders,thank goodness we have large populations.
The gods never ordered a stop to inbreeding. Thats another nonsensical claim. The Noah tale requires that every human on the planet is the product of an incestuous relationship established by your gods. The fact is, humankind actually is plagued by genetic disorders so as usual, your claims utterly contradict themselves.
The fact is, human life spans have increased significantly over time. Due to advent of medical science. Yet another of your claims that is totally without merit.
How do you know early man was not created perfect,and he started to degrade over time ?
We have no reason to believe that man was created. Your religious perspective (which is not a basis for science), requires you to believe otherwise. That is the problem you face when trying to come to an understaning of the natural world - you can't. You are forever confined to a hopeless existence wherein you must tremble before angry gods.
