not a young earther....but I do question this......if human beings and sequoias both evolved from a single celled organism, why is it science has never been able to reproduce a single celled organism evolving into something simple, like a multicelled organism?.......We evolved from a common ancestor.
The counter would be that God just reused other body plans. Not logical certainly but not impossible. God could certainly have been more creative since he didn't need to have not only functional but advantageous intermediate steps as is required of evolution. He could have made us with wheels for instance.
its also claimed that we share a common ancestor with the sequoia.....why don't we have bark?......
The ancestor we shared lived 100's of billions of generations ago. We've since gone our separate ways and the bark that protects the sequoia would hinder our movements.
Of course, if you're a Bible literalist/young earther you'll dispute the 4.5 billion year age of the earth and assert evolution would be impossible due to the lack of time. Is that the case?
