How did the Universe come to be?

[The Solar System Scope]

We've only existed as a species for about 200,000 years. Most of our progress has been made in the last 10,000 years. Most of that progress happened in the last 500 years. If usable FTL is possible, I have no doubt it'll be achieved within the next 500 years provided we don't obliterate our species before then.

Correction: our species exist for a little less than 7 000 years.

Sorry, I meant a little more than 6 000. The first man was created at the year -4026.

A curious assertion, given that there are human artifacts easily 3 or 4 times that age. What species were we when we created those, and what marks the point where we stopped being that species and started being this one?

We always were human. We never were anything else. Humans will always exist on planet Earth. Nothing ever evolved into another species because there is no evidence that such thing happened. All the 200 million large and the billions small fossils show that all the species came up suddenly and remained practically unchanged. Some of these were gone as sudden they appeared.

WAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA~

Please say you're serious. That's so cute.

I mean, Sumerians have books that existed for longer than our species existed. They also didn't record the great flood, yet somehow survived through it.

Weird.

How do you know when these stuff existed? There aren't any historicers that wrote down when they existed. You weren't there, smartypants. Your scrapy C14 doesn't count.

What? And the Black-Headed People did have a flood myth, you know.

Ancient Sumerian texts are about as credible as the Bible.

More, since they're older. Old things are always more reliable. That's why I am always right.

God caused the Big Bang to happen, and evolution, and everything else. Yes, science is real.

"Historicer" sounds like person tasked with fabricating history.

The structure of your arguments and power of reasoning are so poor it makes me throw up. Your main line of argument is "You weren't there" while neither were you. And I like the way you say "Radio carbon dating (C14) doesn't count". Why doesn't it count? That's not an argument, that's just ignoring evidence because it doesn't agree with your ideas. plus the bible actually mentions sumer in multiple contexts, so take that!

Just noting here, it's increasingly likely that you're simply just a troll, if that's the case, would you mind actually contributing to this conversation?

Calling someone a troll is actionable. If you think so, report him in Moderation.

If God caused evolution despite being omnipotent, then that is the most malevolent action and new level of jackassery.

How many people were alive around 2700 BC and 2560 BC?

Well, multiple others have stated previously their belief that he is a troll, and indeed he's apparently just throwing in random, nonsensical lines of thought. Also his nation is littered with fact books that concern proven facts and statistics about the solar system and the universe. Considering his apparent ignorance of the subject and "creationism", this suggests that indeed he is just trolling as he would in fact be against creationism due to the facts that he apparently has posted.

Not many, probably no more than 100 million

"Several other people have called him a troll" is not a defense. If you think so, put together evidence and report him. And he was admonished for coming close. His posts are annoying but not quite actionable. Again, if you find one, please report it.

I think he means the Universe was never formed, it just always existed. Considering that is one of the given options in the poll I don't see why his post should be something of confusion to you.

He just didn't put forward any evidence or reasoning, that's all
