You are wrong Chardin, Evolution is a fact, some particulars are a
theory. We have witnessed evolution over and over again. In our sentient
time here it has happened and is happening. We see it in everything from
the smallest biological units, to human beings. You've got to get over
the evolution thing, it is real.
As for Lucy, she is now only one of many, and she is far pre-human - 4
million years or so. her existence alone, even pasted and chopped
together is a lot closer to reality than thousands of years of hearsay
and divine inspiration. The body of evidence is immense, even without
Lucy. Polar bears alone have only existed since the last ice age when
they evolved from Grizleys. Moths in the northern US have changed color
to match pollution trends. Disease has evolved to defeat anti-biotics in
weeks. In fact, small organisms constantly pick up DNA along the way of
they lives, and add it to their own. Sometimes this is deadly, sometimes
it causes a great leap in survival capabilities.
I'm sorry if you don't like evolution, but it has been shown to be
accurate in millions of independent investigations. you might as well
argue that the Sun does not exist and is just in our imagination.
No offense, but you need to put prejiduce aside to see it. Even the Pope
believe in evolution. Also, many religious people can find space for
evolution when taking the bible as a tool for understanding humanity,
not reality.
