[Quranic Reflection]: Evolution

[Mr Greene]

The leaders of the religion who wrote the book were lying, defrauding their followers as they continue to do. That has nothing to do with popularity. It's just another scam making claims they can't back up and never intended to honour.

"Leaders" does not suit your accusation since I present this post -as all of my [Quranic reflection] posts- as a direct explicit copying of the verses of the Quran, I even post links for the Arabic verse- followed by my own personal reflection and understanding of the verse presented.

So what leaders do you mean? I even stated that I neither follow the Sunni nor the Shiite institutions.

No; Islam is popular and practiced widely because it's a fine gem in this world of chaos. Compared to other religions like Christianity, the bloodshed it caused is incomparable. I thought this is a fact by now; especially after seeing who created the atom bomb, drones and tactical bombers. But it's not our topic here to discuss non-religious crimes.

So back to the OP.

By Leaders I refer to the authors (I'm assuming you didn't write the Q'ran) and their successors who profiteered after them.

As to the OP I take it that it didn't occur to you that you are interpreting the evidence to fit a preconceived conclusion.
The authors certainly never met Homo erectus, neither have you. Neither they nor you have the evidence to make the claim in the OP.
You haven't defined speech nor clarified the definition of 'speech' made in the article you got the statement from.
Do you believe that apes, monkeys or fish do not communicate?
How would you differentiate the communication of Homo erectus from that of Australopithacus afarensis?
When exactly would one become the other and how long do you think it took to teach them 'speech'?
