No; the Bible states that humans existed before death.

You assume far too much. The fossil record shows that certain individuals died, and when they died relative to other specific individuals. Period.

Yeah, sadly.

Add to that the necessary transitional species for all genera, not just humans, are missing from the fossil record.

I chose not to correct his grammar... yet. I get that not everybody here is a native speaker/writer of English, but I find it difficult to take seriously any person who cannot distinguish properly between "your" and "you're", doesn't use correct punctuation, and demonstrates a complete...

Fallacy: non sequitur..... and you didn't answer my question.

Do you believe there is nothing beyond/other than the physical 'cosmos'? That anything that cannot be investigated by human science therefore does not exist?

God's word cannot be separated from God Himself, but He is necessarily greater than His word, and exists independently of it.

The fossil record may indeed tell us that certain individual creatures died before certain individual humans... but it can't tell you more than that. Assertions beyond that require assumptions. Bear in mind that the conditions for fossilization are very specific... and rare in the natural world.

Unless that "something beyond" actually exists independently of humans, which God does. If you limit your belief to things discoverable by science, then you must categorically reject many things that cannot be measured or observed. When science can test whether your mother loves you, then it...

No, it doesn't. You're imposing an assumed timeline.

No, it is evidence that formerly-living creatures are now dead, and (based on the law of superposition) that certain individuals died before other individuals. You are taking an ounce of evidence and making a ton of assertions, with the difference being made up by assumptions.

There's an important adjunct to the fossil record that you have not mentioned, but which is absolutely critical to its use as evidence for anything: a timeline. Fossils don't come with a timeline; all they show is that creatures that once existed are now dead, and their remains preserved in...

That's like claiming God will hold us accountable for eating our steak medium-rare instead of well-done. ;)

Typical overreaction.

Fill your boots. I'm sure you have plenty of muck.

I'm not interested in your rabbit trail. Follow the existing discussion, or step out.

This is what you do when you don't have a response; you change the subject. You've done it many times, and it doesn't look good on you. Step up and follow the discussion by responding to the most recent posts to you.

Meaningless bafflegab.

That doesn't even begin to follow. You decry the "new versions" without sound reasoning.
