Evolutionists advance a creative explanation for why humans developed complex technology later than when they say modern humans (and their brains) evolved.

great article
liked this part:
"Really, this article highlights the vast amount of storytelling necessary within the evolutionary worldview. To assume that humans had the brains we have but didn’t even invent simple tools for tens of thousands of years because of a small population size strains credulity."

We've got plenty of evidence for that. Neandertals, for example, had larger brains on the average than we do. And over tens of thousands of years, they never progressed to neolithic toolmaking.
They were remarkably conservative in their technology.
On the other hand, Australopithecines, who clearly had brains very different and much smaller than ours, managed to make simple tools.
It's not as simple or as neat an issue as your link suggests.
The bones date to roughly 3.4 million years ago and provide the first evidence that Lucy's species, Australopithecus afarensis, used stone tools and consumed meat. The research is reported in the August 12 issue of the journal Nature.
Oldest evidence of stone tool use and meat-eating among human ancestors discovered: Lucy's species butchered meat
Scientists have discovered evidence that human ancestors were using stone tools and consuming meat from large mammals nearly a million years earlier than previously documented. Two fossilized bones with cut marks and percussion marks were unearthed in Ethiopia. The bones are about 3.4 million...

you have no proof - you only have guesses and suggestionsWe've got plenty of evidence for that. Neandertals, for example, had larger brains on the average than we do. And over tens of thousands of years, they never progressed to neolithic toolmaking.

evolution is so unconvincing - you can't prove how time space matter came to be - yet you jump to conjecture on how life came to be - and then you call it science - people are more informed today - they don't fall for evolution anymore -
children are forced to learn evolution but eventually the gaping holes in the theory cause even children to question evolution - when presented with creation they find it addresses every aspect of life on earth in compliance with true verifiable science

No, I just showed you objective facts.
It's directly observed. Can't do better than that. Perhaps you don't know what biological evolution is. What do you think it is?
Sorry, not part of evolutionary theory.
God says the Earth brought forth living things. Science is increasingly showing evidence that is what happened.

Yes, there's an increasing acceptance of evolution in America. would you like me to show you?
Presently, 55% of Americans recognize that humans have evolved:
Evolution, Creationism, Intelligent Design
Which of the following statements comes closest to your views on the origin and development of human beings – [ROTATED: human beings have evolved over millions of years from other forms of life and God guided this process, human beings have evolved over millions of years from other forms of...

so now we're taking a vote? - God said He created - that fits the evidence better than your theoryNo, I just showed you objective facts.

Genesis 1:21 So God created great sea creatures and every living thing that moves, with which the waters abounded, according to their kind, and every winged bird according to its kind. And God saw that it was good. 22 And God blessed them, saying, “Be fruitful and multiply, and fill the waters in the seas, and let birds multiply on the earth.” 23 So the evening and the morning were the fifth day.
24 Then God said, “Let the earth bring forth the living creature according to its kind: cattle and creeping thing and beast of the earth, each according to its kind”; and it was so. 25 And God made the beast of the earth according to its kind, cattle according to its kind, and everything that creeps on the earth according to its kind. And God saw that it was good.
26 Then God said, “Let Us make man in Our image, according to Our likeness; let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, over the birds of the air, and over the cattle, over all the earth and over every creeping thing that creeps on the earth.” 27 So God created man in His own image; in the image of God He created him; male and female He created them.

You've been telling us about evolution. I'd just like to know what you think it is. What do you think it is?

you've been telling us about creation as an evolutionist - i've been saying creation addresses well everything from creation of time space matter and life - evolution addresses only life but not as well as creation - beyond that it doesn't matter to me - to each his own - everyone can believe what makes sense to them

Comes down to evidence. And the evidence says that evolution is how new taxa are created by God.
Evolution is just the paradigm of the establishment. It doesn't make it true.
Whether one is a evolutionist or a creationist is how one interprets the evidence. To me the evidence doesn't suggest things macro evolved.

you seem to think there is only one stream of thought on the evidence
evidence for creation is more comprehensive than evidence for evolution
the fact that you and schools and other institutions want to make it sound like there is only one stream that fits the evidence does not make the evidence for creation go away

Evidence demonstrates that it's true.

The post-modernist idea that truth is whatever you make of it, doesn't work. There is an objective reality, and evidence shows what it is.
Even knowledgeable YE creationists admit that it does. I can show you again, if you like.
