For someone who presents themself as knowing so much about science, I don't believe for a second that you're unaware of the Lucy HOAX. It is very well known among the science community. It was a 40% chimp skeleton and the rest was hoaxed. The hoaxers were totally busted for their shenanigans.

"This 1974 find by Donald Johanson was a fantastic discovery of a 40 percent chimpanzee skeleton. The fingers and toes were both long and curved, similar to those of modern-day apes and helpful for swinging from trees. Of course, that would not match what the Darwinists need to proclaim as “the missing link,” so the hip bones were artificially reconstructed to give the appearance that Lucy actually walked upright and the obvious ape-like skull was adjusted to look more like man’s."

The Lucy fraud and evolution: letter to the editor - cleveland.com
Seriously, a letter to a local newspaper by a random individual is not good evidence - who is Bill Haney? what are his qualifications to opine on this?

you ARE a new user, and frankly, quite a rude one too.
If you guys are gonna keep playing the 'false accusation' goading game, I'm gonna call you out on it every time.

Goading IS a rule here, as in all Forums.

Quote my comment that was specifically 'rude' to prove your accusation. I haven't called anybody any names, haven't used any foul language and haven't interacted any differently than you have.

If I'm being "rude" or breaking any rules, you are breaking the exact same rules.

Post the quote.

Biological evolution is the change in heritable characteristics of a population over successive generations.

It happens constantly and demonstrably, even in human populations. Everyday varieties of evolution include bacteria evolving antibiotic resistance and SARS-CoV-2 evolving from Alpha to Beta to Delta to Omicron.

Post the quote.

I'm not goading, since calling someone rude isn't goading, it's describing. If I was goading, I'd be doing something rude myself to get you angry.

But to answer your question: Post #228
"I'm not a new user, Deist. It says that under my name because of my low post count. I'm far from new to any of this. Been here for years. And on many other Forums. Get over that perception so you can interact with me accordingly."
That did come across as rude to me.

And post #243.

And post #245.

Oh, come on.

Nobody's going to pull you out of your chosen delusion with any amount of evidence.

The quote proves how common knowledge the fraud of Lucy is. Give it a rest.

False Accusations make anybody angry and neither of those posts contain one iota of rude language.

Nice try.

No, you were clearly rude in those posts, especially referring to someone pointing out that you didn't provide a shred of evidence for your fraud claim, which is an outright lie if you can't provide evidence for it, a 'chosen delusion' is very rude language.

How about you try again.

And you must invent "mistakes" to attribute to me.

I am just taking what the video said and repeating it. I didn't have to invent anything. The speaker who I asked if it was you or someone else was arguing points that have nothing to do with the belief in scriptural creation.

Might as well stand up on a box and decry electricians for doing bad plumbing work.
It might even sound believable except for the fact that electricians don't do plumbing work, well neither do scriptural creationist do anything of what was outlined in that minute and a half that I watched. It showed a complete misunderstanding of our position.

Don't you at least want to argue the actual points we believe in? Or would you rather invent some and believe we all do this behind some religion or political motivation banner?

Darwin's theory of Evolution has never been proven and Lucy was an embarrassing hoax.

Why are you highlighting theory like that? The theory of evolution is factual science, like germ theory and nuclear theory and the theory of gravity.

And no, Lucy is not a hoax, since you can't show a single shred of evidence that is is, so you are lying.

@Warden_of_the_Storm

Why do you have an image of a female for your Avatar, man?

Just curious.

Because it's cute. Also, has no bearing on the thread whatsoever.

Now, do you have any evidence for you claim that Lucy is a hoax, and can you care to explain why you keep italicizing and bolding theory when you write it?

Ok.

Remember when you were making 'false accusations' and 'name calling' earlier, calling me a "Troll"?

That's why I asked. Many times when somebody is using a fake identity on a Chat Forum, they mess up and identify themselves as a male/female, but put an image of the opposite for their avatar because they're so used to making up fake identities they're not paying close attention and don't notice their mistake.

Just making sure you are who you claim to be.

There's a post on here who uses a picture of bandersnatch from Alice in Wonderland, and another who uses the guy from MAD magazine as their avatar. Posting a picture of a character drawn to wear a the uniform of the Highland regiments of the British Army in WW2 is not the same as someone catfishing another with a fake profile.

Now, do you have any evidence for you claim that Lucy is a hoax, and can you care to explain why you keep italicizing and bolding theory when you write it?

Evolution is just a theory.

It works backward to a point, then can't go any further.

It can't even take my DNA and show anyone where I came from past about one thousand years back.

My evidence is take a 60 second dive into recorded history on the matter and find mounds of evidence and documentation that it was a very devastating hoax to all who profited from it.

Everyone else here knows why I'm highlighting theory. I feel no obligation to explain.

Except that when asked for the same evidence, you make no attempt to show it. So either, you don't have any evidence and refuse to admit it, or you just refuse to show the evidence.

Really, all of this really is coming across to me as you being a troll.

Correct you are.

Carbon 14 dating was another facet of many of science's hoaxes over the years. It is absolutely ineffective beyond a couple thousand years.
