The dignity of humanity is rooted in our origin, nature and purpose. Evolutionary humanism holds that homo sapiens came into existence through  the  accidental process of time and  chance. Theistic creationists believe all of life has its starting point in the Creator and that humanity is a distinct and unique creation. Both are faith positions as no human being  was able to witness the beginning of all things.  Evolutionists hold their beliefs are backed by science while creationist can make the same claim in a world that specific laws were put into play from a Creator God.  

This new series tries to bring a calm voice to various fields of science and the humanities. The first discipline is  anthropology .The origin of human kind is explained today from one of 2 faith positions. The religion of humanistic evolution begins with the belief there is no god  in our human  origin only the time, chance dogma of evolution. Theism begins with the faith belief there is an Almighty God who created matter ex-nihilo - out of nothing by his creative word. Both systems of belief like to think objective science is compatible with their beliefs.
