"I don't think this argument gets you anywhere with Hugh
Ross or YEC's"
I just reviewed my notes from the second message. There
is no more information about how they distinguish 100k
year old homo sapiens anatomically from modern humans, (if
they want to put Adam and Eve 60k years ago or so.)
They keep emphasizing that the hominid fossil record has
long periods of stasis followed by sudden changes. And
that recent data using 3D CT scan modeling of cranial
capacities suggest that earlier cranial capacities of
hominids was over estimated. They claim that the increase
in brain size of hominid evolution is relatively small
until modern humans (and neanderthal) appear on the scene.
But they emphasize that neanderthal was had a larger
body, and a different brain "shape", than modern humans.
Clearly they are setting up the fossil record to show that
each creature was a special creation, and there is no
naturalistic transition from one species to another.
Hugh Ross also addressed why a creator would do it this
way. His main point was that modern man was created at
just the right time. The hominids that preceded modern
man were placed there at the times they were in order to
prepare the rest of creation for our presence.
