Followed by the lack of intellect.

We are probably the remains of an extraterrestrial penile colony put on this planet X-thousands of years ago.
A place to put an overflow of naughty folks no longer fit for the society they were band from.
Put so very far from the source that it was known our intellect could never manage to return.
And our current point is that we have divided into thinkers, and plain liberals who want someone else to support them like spoiled children.
OK, I'll get back to scouring the heavens in search of the mother ship.
And leave you thinkers and chimp descendants to figure it out.
Please don't wake me for your findings.....

Just another scientific evidence for Creation from God.

"Let's consider just one part of the transition that would be required -- to go from an ape-like face to a human one. The portraits of our supposed ancestors are in museums everywhere, and on the web pages of National Geographic -- the latest one, H. naledi, can be found there now. But whether or not that reconstructed face is a part of our history, the question remains: Is there enough time for us to have acquired by purely, Darwinian natural processes the differences that make us look human as opposed to ape-like?" NO

So let's ask the question. Could naturalistic processes guided only by natural selection have accomplished any of this? Changes to the expression of one gene or another can affect morphology -- changing the expression of the gene ALX1 affects the size and shape of finch beaks, for example. Getting one regulatory change to an enhancer is not impossible. But there are multiple enhancers controlling multiple genes involved in facial morphology (see the paper in Nature by Lamichhaney et al.), and to get coordinated regulation of multiple genes, multiple enhancers must have changed in a coordinated fashion.

Is that possible? Durrett and Schmidt published a paper examining how long it would take to have two coordinated mutations (one inactivating and the other activating) take place in an evolving hominin population. They found it would require in excess of 100 million years. Obviously, the hominin population did not have that long to wait for regulatory change. We supposedly diverged from chimps six million years ago.

Nowhere in this paper is it demonstrated that anything like this regulatory network could have evolved step by step in the time available. All it establishes is that our faces are different from chimps because we have different regulatory sequences. In fact, I don't know of anywhere it has been demonstrated that regulatory changes on this scale could be the product of evolution.

In the meantime, we do know something that can coordinate change on this scale. It's called intelligence.

Dear "God." Dear "Intelligence." Dear "ID." Now, really, which is it that you will use today?

If you want to be heard, then you must be clear about what you speak and to whom you pray. Does God have multiple names or or those others just your idols?
