Darwinist folklore
How about the fact that Evolution and Anthropology aren’t the same thing, and Evolution is not where the timeline of the inventions you mentioned came from? If you are going to ridicule something, please make sure you are at least ridiculing the right thing. And Evolution does not generate folklore. Anthropology can study folklore, but it doesn’t generate it either.

Cue the broken record in 3,2,1…
 
Depending on where you place the boundaries, the Cambrian explosion lasted between 5 million and 15 million years. That is a long time for ‘sudden’ in the way you seem to mean it.
There was not nearly enough time during the Cambrian explosion for even the necessary mutations to occur, let alone for natural selection to do its work.

There is also the problem (for Darwinism) of scores of new animal phyla appearing suddenly with no evidence of evolutionary ancestors.
 
Evolution is the best scientific attempt to explain the origin of species.
The fact that evolution (aka the Modern Synthesis, Darwinism) is the “best scientific attempt to explain for the origin of species” doesn’t mean anything - it certainly doesn’t mean it’s the truth, or even that it’s a good theory … in fact, the “best scientific attempt to explain” something could be dead wrong.
A well established scientific theory based on evidence showing that all life on earth evolved from a small group of original ancestors via a process of mutation, natural selection, neutral drift, founder effect, sexual selection, endosymbiosis and other processes.
Well, it’s certainly “well established”, but myths can also be “well established”.

As for all life on earth being the result of a process of “mutations, natural selection, neutral drift, founder effect, sexual selection, endosymbiosis and other process”, that is a claim that cannot be tested, and is therefore not even part of science - pie in the sky.
Do you bother to read my posts? How many gods were there in my quote from the Saddharmapundarika above? You have a very strange idea of what an (I presume) atheist would believe. I am Buddhist, not atheist.
. . . . Your belief regarding the origins life on earth and species certainly appears to be no different to that of an atheist - ie, abiogenesis and evolution are purely natural, unguided processes that are not the work of any god or gods and therefore have no purpose.

Rafts and wheels are wood, which is unlikely to survive well for 400,000 years.
That’s true, however empirical evidence strongly suggests humans did not have rafts or boats 400,00 years ago:
Archeological discoveries reveal an steady evolution of boats, beginning 10,000 years ago (assuming that date is correct) with simple canoes and rafts that were found here and there, after which boats increase in complexity, size, diversity and prevalence. For example, the first sailing boats appeared 6000 years ago; the first long boats 2500 years ago.

The evolutionary history of boats is entirely in line with the Genesis narrative - human beings did not evolve but were created somewhere between 5000-10,000 years ago as intelligent beings, after which they soon began inventing technology like boats, the sophistication of which subsequently evolved over time.

On the other hand, the Darwinist narrative presents an absurdity - at least 400,000 years ago, humans invented simple rafts and canoes, which remained unchanged until about 10,000 years ago, when - suddenly - humans started building all manner of much more sophisticated boats, the evolution of which continues to this day.

I know which scenario makes more sense.

Furthermore, the same timeline and pattern of evolution seen in the history of boats is also evident in the history of other inventions and innovations, such as the wheel, writing and metallurgy. You don’t have to be Einstein to see what’s going on here and to conclude that Darwinian folklore regarding the history of humans doesn’t add up.

Mmm. Seems not to translate back into English…

Says who?
Says the definition of science. It’s the study of the natural world.
Can science explain how God created the universe out of nothing?
How did God create the first life-form?
No, it cannot, just like it can’t explain miracles. Those are supernatural and outside its scope.
Says who?
Says science. “I don’t know” is not how science works. There’s always a theory that explains why the phenomena happen, which is tested and compared with new evidence, then revised if needed. If you present new evidence, you revise the theory. Then, your new theory is tested against existing and new evidence.
 
If science can’t explain how God created the universe out of nothing or how God created the first life-form, then obviously science cannot explain nature.
No. Science can explain what we can measure and describe about nature. Just not what we cannot measure or describe. Like God, for example.
 
How do you know the entire history of life on earth is not the result of a miracle?
The progress of life on earth is so linear and oddly progressed that Creationism makes absolutely no logical sense.
 
If science can’t explain how God created the universe out of nothing
What happened before the “creation of the universe” is simply outside the field of science. This is already a philosophy.

or how God created the first life-form, then obviously science cannot explain nature.
For the time being.

Do not put your faith on literalism, let alone on the Young Land Creationism. You can stick to these positions by habit, and there is nothing wrong with that. But it cannot be protected from the point of view of science.

How do you know the entire history of life on earth is not the result of a miracle?
There is no problem to think that it was a miracle, but the evidence says otherwise, you just do not understand them. Christians, supporters of evolution, hold these views not because they can not believe in miracles, but because the facts tell the opposite (for example, you can read the believer Biologist Francis Collins).
However, I would advise you to read the works of Theology, but I have noticed that many Protestants constantly sound: either the Bible can not be wrong about anything at all, or it is absolutely impossible to trust. But it is a false dichotomy.
If it is convenient for you to be a young land creature, be one, but do not bet your faith on it.
 
Of course He was, just not in a super hands-on way. He designed the universe’s laws to result in the intended outcome, just the same way one creates a track so that a marble ends at a certain destination. God is responsible, but only in as much as He designed the Universe to run without intervention until Adam, at which point God stepped back in.
