Re: Beginning presuppostions
Hi Lucy,
Your question;
LucyTheApe writes:
Isn’t this cyanobacteria blue-green algae, the same blue-green algae we see today in our rivers and lakes. Shouldn’t it have evolved after 3 800 000 000 years or does it need longer?
Your question amounts to little more than the old "If we evolved from apes, why are there still apes?" chestnut. There is a simple answer, i.e. that part of the algae population evolved, and went on to form other species, part did not and stayed pretty much the same.
None of this addresses the topic of course, since the OP had nothing to do with evolution. If you can point out a presupposition in Jar's OP, other then the three basic presuppositions that have been noted, feel free to point it out, instead of dragging this thread off topic. That goes for you too, Beretta.
