Sorry, but mathematically there isn't enough time for the inert to turn into something living and then evolve into something very complex that then became diverse on its own. HOWEVER, there is needed only 6 days and a FLOOD to give us exactly what we now observe since ALMIGHTY GOD is the CREATOR of everything.Not ALL scientists consider evolution to be a"fact".Oh please....scientists consider evolution to be fact, period. No, you goobers are not presenting any actual challenge to the theory of evolution. Instead, you are embarrassing yourselves.I get so enormously tired of "scientific" types stating theory as established, proven, witnessed fact. ACTUAL scientists do it in the certainty that other scientists will understand the difference, but lay-twerps can't keep from conflating.
From your link:
"They have predicted how much it would have weighed, the number of molars in its jaws, the shape of its sperm, and the path that its carotid artery took up its neck. None of this comes from a fossil of the creature itself. Instead, the predictions are based on 80 of its descendants, including some that are still alive and others that joined it in extinction."
In other words, they looked at a bunch of current and recent critters with similar traits and said, "I'll bet they all came from an animal who looked like THIS!"
Any real scientist who considers evolution to be a "fact" is not much of a scientist, for the simple truth that evolution is a theory. An unproven theory, although widely accepted as true but not a "fact". For that you would need proof, which does not exist..
'proof' is a mathematical concept- not a scientific concept.
Evolution is the scientific theory that best fits the evidence that we have for the diversity of life on earth.
Now let us compare that to any other theory that explains the diversity of life- I am not aware of a single alternative theory that has any evidence to support it- but I am open to examples.
Tell us all Nipper- how after the "Flood" - how did all of the animals get from Mt. Ararat to each of their future homes?
How did all of the marsupials get to Australia? In a couple of thousand years.
How did all of the anacondas get to South America?
How did the lemurs get to Madegascar?
How did the giant tortoises get to the Galapagos.
And how did they all get to those places- and nowhere else?
Tell us your CREATOR accomplished that.
