It is more perfect that a thing follows its nature than for it to have no nature than to be directed by God
 
Yes its a term used by biologists, adam and eve where the first humans with intullect and will
 
How could biologists possibly know that? This falls into the error of ‘evolutionary psychology.’ It assumes the self-upgrading of man from earlier, more primitive versions of man. In the beginning, what would become man was just chemicals and physics that would continue to upgrade to human beings alive today. It is not credible.
 
No, most lingustists think that the capacity for speech is tied to modren cogntion and this only happened once in history. Aristotle descartes and Aquains all belived that speaking was was a sign of rationality.
 
Definitely not. It goes against revealed knowledge about our first parents. It is also highly speculative and amounts to wish fulfillment. There are many modern humans that have some level of cognitive impairment.

No it doesnt it, its shows monogenism is very likely and fits into the thomism
 
Your right, but no matter how under devolped they might be they can still create some speech
 
Our first parents were not generic human beings like us. They were given gifts by God called preternatural. They are:
Code: 
impassibility (freedom from pain)
immortality (freedom from death)
integrity (freedom from concupiscence, or disordered
desires)
infused knowledge (freedom from ignorance in matters
essential for happiness)
After Original Sin, a literal event, they lost these gifts.

I understand your point about nature. What I don’t understand is why it would be better if God created an inferior humanoid designed to evolve and become perfect. It seems more likely that an omnipotent God would create a perfect man. Furthermore, Genesis tells us that God’s creation was perfect and good and that things devolved after the Fall.

Chemicals? Sounds like man being formed from the earth… over a really long time period.
 
Nice try but man is more than that. In evolutionary theory, chemicals combined and did the creating of life, not God.
 
Because the humans before adam would be building up to him, they where not useless, thats like saying the chizled marble in a making of a staute is wasted
 
An intelligence is required to create something useful from the marble.
