Missing link found by Norwegian scientist

[fated]

No. It doesnt. I do understand it well enough to challenge it.



Again you're wrong. We are of the genus homo and the species sapien. Homo sapiens.




at least its evidence and not a myth, legend or story.


Evolution again, ftw.

Actually, I believe the genus of this find is challenged by the science community (I heard it on a radio discussion).

You are your body.

That doesn't mean I have to sing the body electric.

I take Genesis 1 literally.

 

[AV1611VET]

What are you then? A chimpanzee? An alien from planet Nibiru?Or some trans-dimentional visitor from the realm of.... Nah, i don't know. What ARE you if not a human being?

I didn't say "human being" --- I said Homo sapien --- and a child of God by adoption.

No, literalistically. Specifically, you care more about how it appears to you... and disregard... how it was understood when written, its intended audience, and what that audience was interested in.

Yes, the new missing link is of a different genus. Many of our ancestors are of a diffeent genus. Proanthropus, Astralepithicenes, etc...

Our genus, however, is the genus Homo.

 

[AV1611VET]

Yes, you are, whether you want to be or not. You can call yourself a unicorn or dragon or dryad gnome whatever, but you are still a Homo Sapien.

No --- you can call me a Homo sapien if you want to --- I'll stick with human being.

I take Genesis 1 literally.

So, you're made in the image of god then? Whose image is Shaquille O'Neil made in? Or Yao Ming? Or Paula Abdul? They all look different to me. Taking Genesis literal, who best fits 'in our image' description?

Please advise.

...especially here in a Christian Forum.

Imagine that, you find intelligent conversation all over.

Bottom line kids,

Says the 26 year old.

The Bible is the complete Word of God and it's all true, every bit of it.

Does that include the parts that have zero evidence for them and that we know are impossible?

I mean we have already found the base of the Tower of Babel, what more do you want?

Link?

Any Christian

This is the non-christian section of the forum.

that doubts for a second that evolution is a myth needs to read "The Case for a Creator" by Lee Strobel or at least put the DVD in your Netflix queue. Anybody that believes that evolution might be true at that point is just in denial.

Or anybody who enjoys watching really bad arguments unfold...

For that matter, pick up your Bible and read it and then decide who might be lying to you. The world? The enemy with his plots to steal, kill and destroy?

The people who are lying to you are probably the people who have zero interest in the truth and are only interested in passing along their ideology as truth.

An improbability of accidental design is exactly what points us to God in the first place.

Nobody whose educated on the subject thinks an accident has anything to do with it.

Believe all of it, actually walk in your faith and get on with it. "So, because you are lukewarm—neither hot nor cold—I am about to spit you out of my mouth." Revelation 3:16

Typical threats.

Human beings are homo sapiens bro.

why do you always try to derail the thread with nonsense?

 

[AV1611VET]

No, literalistically. Specifically, you care more about how it appears to you, rather than how it was understood when written, its intended audience, and what that audience was interested in.

Let's back this train up here --- I interpret Genesis 1 via the historical-grammatical method of interpretation.

The same method Jesus used.

 

[mpok1519]

No --- you can call me a Homo sapien if you want to --- I'll stick with human being.

Doesnt matter if people call you a unicorn.

You're a human being, which is a synonym (which means 'means the same thing') for homo sapien.

In terms of Godly Images, I'd have to say that whoever best fits is probably a woman

Our genus, however, is the genus Homo.

I mean, as in "it is not a link at all."

 

[pgp_protector]

And I'll be glad to repeat myself here --- I am not a Homo sapien.

So you either a bot, an unknown life form or intellectually dishonest.

All the above.

I actually feel sorry for this little creature to be honest with you. If she had any idea what she was being used for right now she wouldn't appreciate or be pleased with it at all. Though, in the end, she's showing desperity of humanity, so maybe she wouldn't be sad afterall. Cases like this truly do prove we've came from monkeys (or a common ancestor of), because many people that grasp at straws to prove any relation between something like this and a human truly is a monkey in their own sense.

Leave the little creature alone. She'd be in tears by now if she had any idea what you people are trying to relate her to.

Yay! Emotional arguments without any intellectual merit are so entertaining!

 

[AV1611VET]

Human beings are homo sapiens bro.

Only on paper, bro --- only on paper.

 

[mpok1519]

I mean, as in "it is not a link at all."

just because its not of the same genus doesnt mean its not linked to us.

 

[AV1611VET]

Doesnt matter if people call you a unicorn.

Yes, it does.

If someone calls me a "unicorn" --- they're wrong.

You're a human being, which is a synonym (which means 'means the same thing') for homo sapien.

I'm humankind --- and kinds had no predecessors.

We came from the dust of the earth --- not the genes of another race.

 

[AV1611VET]

So you either a bot, an unknown life form or intellectually dishonest.

From you guys' perspective --- "unknown life form".
