Can someone tell me what Darwin theory is? Is it related to thermodynamics? Does it have something to do with the way a foot leaves an impression in a mud brick?
So this argument is essentially a variant of “then why are there still monkeys?”
Except much stupider because humans had been around for hundreds of thousands of years before that. Even if you just restrict ‘humans’ to our own species, we arose around 300,000 years ago.
Somehow they think that because, according to an Anglican archbishop’s interpretation of the Bible, the world started in 4004 BCE, this proves it.
Based on the username, I don’t think they use the Bible for their arguments.
You’ve ventured into the Hindu science denial echochambers.
Good point. I just looked up ‘sattology’ and it’s some Hindu pseudohistory thing. So I have no idea what this could be about.

Probably one of the nutcases mentioned in the creationism section of this wiki who believe that the human species has existed for billions of years.
I’m guessing they don’t understand how long ago science claims humans evolved and thought that proving humans existed 4000 years ago would contradict evolutionary theory?
Generally people arguing against evolution don’t have a clear understanding of the topic.
almost as goofy as the “god exists, because look at this banana!” proof
All the excuses Ray Comfort has made since then make the argument itself the least funny part.

4000 years ago humans were farming, living in cities and just starting to figure out writing.
Given how nicely centered the impression is, this was probably intentional, a very old foot selfie.
4000 thousand years ago?
You mean 4 million years ago?
Even our oldest common ancestors were only 2.2-2.5 million years ago. Homo sapiens is only about 250,000 years ago, and we basically instantly domesticated dogs. We’ve had dogs for 200,000 years.
op was making a joke about 4000 x1000 = 4000000
The dog is a wolf-like canid.[7][8][9] The genetic divergence between the dog’s ancestor and modern wolves occurred between 40,000 and 30,000 years ago, just before or during the Last Glacial Maximum[2][1] (20,000–27,000 years ago). This timespan represents the upper time-limit for the commencement of domestication because it is the time of divergence but not the time of domestication, which occurred later.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Domestication_of_the_dog
We domesticated them roughly twice as far back as we domesticated cats (12,000y). Cats became domesticated alongside the use of agriculture. Cats started spending time around humans because agriculture brought prey for them (rodents, etc) to places where humans resided.
If this isn’t a shit post then this person has a perfectly smooth brain.
I don’t know for sure, but I think the “satt” in their name is short for sattire
I doubt that. The second part of the name is the exact same word written in Hindi. And satt is a root word that means truth in hindi
4000 years ago people were already trying to make machines with gears and stuff, what the fuck are you on about?
If you mean the Antikythera mechanism, that was more like 2000 years ago.
But they had plenty of technological advancements of other sorts 4000 years ago.
well gears were used I think 1000 BC in China so almost 4000 years ago?
Almost 4000 years ago is a stretch. 3000.
considering Neanderthals existed more than 200000 years ago not much of a difference between 3000 and 4000.
Ok, but that’s like saying that King Arthur had airplanes because, whomever the historical figure was that the legend is based on lived less than 1000 years before the Wright Brothers…
King arthur had air planes if we are wondering whether or not Neanderthals had airplanes
Sorry, you are correct. I was thinking toothed gears.
It’s the theory that a dude named Charles Darwin wrote a book back in the nineteenth century.
FAILED!
He wrote 19 books!
If you know so much about him, name 10 of his books!
On the Origin of the Species
The Descent of Man
The Voyage of the Beagle
The Great Gatsby
In the Night Kitchen
Men Are From Mars, Women Are From Venus
Beowulf
How to Win Friends and Influence People
Ready Player One
and, of course, Twilight: New Moon
Love the gradual descent into madness
10/10, no notes
We can neither confirm nor deny that he owned these books
19 books in the first century. Easy mistake to make.
Pretty sure the people who think evolution is a crock just don’t understand biology, whether to shit teachers or defunct critical thinking.
^ This. Nothing in biology makes sense except in the light of evolution.
Sattology? More like scatology
Ok… I think their point is that they think it is a fossil only 4000 years old. So it proves young earth?
Mud impression is not fossil.
No, no, you guys don’t get it - the “mud brick” was a science device used in an experiment comparing genetics and carbon dating! The top part of the brick was used to display results in a clear way - if a footprint showed up that meant that some future Darwin* guy will be full of shit. If a cock-print showed up Darwin would be correct.
*and his grandpa and thousands of years other people that debated and outlined in detail the exact same theory but could never gather enough evidence to go against the Church - I mean people bred livestock and mushed up plants to get the selected traits to their offsprings since before written language, ofc evolution was a known process (not to mention family members looking alike with same traits)
But if we build a pyramid from this foot/cock brick, can it provide free energy?
I mean, theoretically yes, sure, but how would you counter the electromagnetic fields to even get close enough to harness it?
(Also if a foot/cock mud brick actually displays a foot-cock then it’s bricked, you need to manually restart it, recharge it, and leave it to sundry. A footcock is an ancient predecessor of dickbutt, now sadly an extinct, lost, and long forgotten meme from dead civilisations.)
I wish I could ask them how do you think it would take for one species to evolve into two separate ones?
