No, all of this is a theory, where you there a billion, a few hundred million or
even a few million years ago?
If god created the Universe, he could have done it a few days ago as opposed to
a few billion years ago.
>A few thousand years ago, technology did not exist on Earth.
I disagree with this also, we really don't know to what level technology did
exist a few thousand years ago, and how much of it was lost and is being
rediscovered.

Yes, I agree that greater organization is possible. But this is not evolution
you are describing, but the creation of people. The intellect of people is
Creating all of what we see in society, Where is evoltion in all of this?
I made this statement before: people creating DNA in a laboratory prooves
Creation better than it does Evolution.

Enough said. I can expand on all of what I wrote if anything is too vague or
not understandable.
