And yeah, a 5 second google search can also tell you that the earth is hollow. You can literally find anything on the internet. Also don't assume that all citations represent experiments, go read the primary articles. I guarantee they are highly speculative. That's fine, but don't pretend that it is the same as empirical/experimental science.
God is not an engineer; he is a magician. When he gathers up clay and breathes into man to animate him, that is literally how the "golem spell" is supposed to be performed. Your Bible says that your god used magic to create the Universe.
Some crackpot saying the Earth is hollow and Wikipedia having a properly formatted and cited article are two very different things. Interestingly enough, if you google "hollow earth theory," wikipedia comes up again, briefly describing the concept, its historical proponents, and the ample evidence against it (seismic, gravitational, etc.).
So yeah...the "not everything you see on TV is true" argument doesn't really apply to this. I didn't just dig up the first source that agrees with me, I chose one that was well supported. It's not like I went to Answers in Genesis or anything.
Also, the primary sources seem to mostly involve things we observe in cyanobacteria, algae, sea slugs, and other primitive life forms that haven't changed much in the billions of years the planet has had life on it. That's hardly speculative. We can see these more basic pieces of the evolutionary record still in use today by simple life forms.
You know not everyone thinks the creation story is exactly how it happened.
Also all those organisms you mention have something in common. They all have a fully functional metabolism. And yeah, they say it hasn't changed much in the billions of years, but what does that tell you? At the beginning, when genetic diversity would have been minimal, the cells somehow were able to evolve a diverse and complex system of metabolism that requires many different enzymes working together. Then after there is a lot more genetic variation (in the following billions of years) we don't see them evolving much more. And what do you mean that is hardly speculative?!?! Why do these life forms that live at the same time represent pieces of the evolutionary record to you?
