After 150 years, evolutionary scientists have discovered a handful of disputed fossils and artist impressions.
I tried to find some creationist views on this:
Michael Oard, a creationist writing in a creationist journal:
quote:
"I was surprised to find that instead of enough fossils barely to fit into a coffin, as one evolutionist once stated [in 1982], there were over 4,000 hominid fossils as of 1976. Over 200 specimens have been classified as Neanderthal and about one hundred as Homo erectus. More of these fossils have been found since 1976."
Review of the book, Bones of Contention: A Creationist Assessment of Human Fossils, in the Creation Research Society Quarterly, Vol. 30, March 1994, p. 222
Martin Lubenow, creationist and author of Bones of Contention: A Creationist Assessment of Human Fossils, also wrote in the same creationist journal:
quote:
"The current figures [circa 1994] are even more impressive: over 220 Homo erectus fossil individuals discovered to date, possibly as many as 80 archaic Homo sapiens fossil individuals discovered to date, and well over 300 Neanderthal fossil individuals discovered to date."
Letter to the editor of the Creation Research Society Quarterly, Vol. 31, Sept. 1994, p. 70
I have no idea how many more have been found since 1994 but your assertion regarding a "handful" in 150 years is clearly wrong.
