I hear that all the time, but no one gives me his name.

Level with me.

Was it Charles Darwin? Carlos Linnaeus? who?
None of the above.
The last common ancestor between humans and chimpanzees, died out long before the idea of personal names was developed.
The ancestor was not even an individual, but a population. A population that lived some eight million years ago, in Africa

Not at all.
Indeed quite the opposite
"I see what you mean." is the correct answer for your claim.
Assuming you are not claiming ignorance anyway. I could be rong.

Actually, we have the fossil remains of just such an animal.
So you have the fossil remains, but no name assigned to it?

Sounds like they learned their lesson from Nebraska Man (Hesperopithecus haroldcookii).

It's funny how a beluever of a minority view of Christianity uses a mistake made by a very small minority of palaeontologists as evidence that the whole of science is wrong. Would it be acceptable to conclude that, based on your minority views, not only is Christianity wrong but every religion must be wrong?

Hardly a fantasy.
It's likely Darwin had God in mind the whole time, given his training in ministry.
But he figured the book would sell better if he didn't mention God.

Again, you've got the wrong person.

AV, Genghis Khan ... neither claim all of science is wrong.

Both claim scientists are gifted to us from God.

So ya ... you got the wrong person.
