Nice try, EndOfMysteries. Too bad you are undereducated in the sciences.
IF god made man from the dust of the ground, why did he choose to design our DNA so that it so closely resembles that of simians and ALL OTHER MAMMALS?
Why is man, the "crown of creation" burdened with deficiencies in the design of his skeleton? Our knees and shoulders STINK from a design point of view. Is this the best god could do, or did Adam and Eve have skeletons that are far superior to ours, ours having decrepitated as a result of "sin"?
Why is it that nowhere deep within any organism can we find a byline that says, "made by god"?
You simple proof fails in the light of simple logic.

Did you know that there are simple, inorganic chemicals that are self-organizing? In other words, given an environment in which the raw materials for these compounds are present, the compounds will form spontaneously and "reproduce" "in their own image" until the supply of raw materials runs out.
In the past, (early 20th century and earlier) man lacked the technology to grasp the secrets of the universe. People believed the bible was true because
a) the bible said it was true and
b) there were no viable alternative explanations.
So lots of science was done to "prove" the bible was correct. Unfortunately, in virtually every field of investigation - chemistry, astronomy, archeology, geology - those "proofs" were never found. Instead evidence began piling up that the inerrant word of god was wrong about so many things. Astronomy showed that the earth was not the center of the universe, nuclear chemistry showed how all of the elements "evolved" from hydrogen, archeology found not a single trace of the Israelites wandering in the desert for 40 years, geology shows that life evolved on earth over billions of years, not the 6000 years claimed by Bishop James Usher, who in 1925 backtracked his biblical "begats" and concluded that Adam was created on October 23, 4004 BC, thus launching the field of Bible-basedâ„¢ chronological speculation.
Think about it - only 50 years before Pastor Russell started his career, the date of man's creation was "discerned."
