Thank you, my friend ---Congratulations AV; You have hereby been nominated for the CARTOON PHYSICIST OF THE MILLENNIUM award!
I say well done!
Oh, I think I can take a ribbing every once in awhile ---I speak in jest AV so don't go for the REPORT button! I assume you have a sense of humour?
From your linkFossil find provides 'missing link' in human evolution - Times Online
True, I think.
I bet we'll have a lot of creationists go ballistic about it though. *sigh*
I'll buy microevolution, but I won't buy macroevolution.
That's the thing about "evolution" in general --- it has two sides to it.
As long as it stays on one side and benefits mankind, I'm fine with it; but when it oversteps its bounds, and gets into contradicting the Bible anywhere, it can take a hike.
Evolution cannot benefit mankind and contradict the Bible at the same time.
the anti-evolutionists would have been better off in thier pro-creationism campaign proponents found some way to teach myth as act, and fact as myth; Also, locking up all the scientists, biologists and anthroologists, and punishing them for heresey would have helped too.
Teachers get fired, and people arrested for trying to teach other things to kids than state religions, falsely called science. You may not ride the coattails of real knowledge and science, when lumping in your fables. Sorry.the anti-evolutionists would have been better off in thier pro-creationism campaign proponents found some way to teach myth as act, and fact as myth; Also, locking up all the scientists, biologists and anthroologists, and punishing them for heresey would have helped too.
MY fables?! lol lol
ID is real? but, evolution is not?
lol
lol
lol
anyone else hearing this? Oh man....I just think I popped a blood vessal....
Keep hunting for that harvard degree at the bottom of the cheerio box...
it just REALLY irritates me that some people out there get to vote AND they get to tell kids these lies too...
Oh, and The Bear if you don't want to be part of the conversation, you can just bow out. your QFT comment doesn't add anything to the conversation. If you want to say something useful, I'll listen, otherwise.....
I think one of the, many, things that Honkytntkmn has misunderstood about evolution is rarity of fossilisation of large animals in certain environments.
Take the most famous fossilised animal in the world - T. rex - every natural history museum you go into has one glowering down at you. They were top predators so they were never massivly numerous, probably a bit like human ancestors. There must be thousands of them right?
Wrong.
There are about 30 T. rex skeletons in existence at the moment despite looking for them for over a 100 years with massive monetary gain for the finders and the fact that they are found in the US.
But they are all complete skeletons aren't they?
No, none of them are complete.
But they all have those big scary skulls don't they?
No. Only 3 skulls have been found.
In comparison we have many more fossils of human intermediary species but only becase we have searched for them so assiduously. We have dug up half of North East Africa looking for specimens. These human ancestors lived in an environment much less prone to fossilise animals than the Cretaceous of North America, that was a land of shallow seas, muddy lagoons and wide braided river valleys, all reasonable environments for fossilising large animals.
Human ancestors lived on the Savannah. If you put a human body out on the african savannah today I doubt you will find so much as a kneecap left by the next day, fossilisation in such an environment is extremely rare.
Honkytnkmn doesn't "believe" in evolution because he doesn't want to, it has nothing to do with a lack of evidence or a lack of fossils, it has everything to do with a strongly held pre-existing religious conviction that can't fit with modern science in this case.
If we found a thousand beautiful fossils that demonstrated the complete pathway of evolution from a chimp common ancestor to Homo sapiens sapiens in the next year he'd just move on to something else that would stop him "believing" in evolution.
You just hang out with YECs, do you, mpok?even still, if you found aLL the fossis, and taxonomzed ALL those animals, an even brought them back to life through genetic engineering, AND showed the creationists a youtubevideo that lasts for trillions of years, theyd STILL think that the earth is 6000 years old...
That's because they believe David Copperfield actually makes things disappear!even still, if you found aLL the fossis, and taxonomzed ALL those animals, an even brought them back to life through genetic engineering, AND showed the creationists a youtubevideo that lasts for trillions of years, theyd STILL think that the earth is 6000 years old, and all of humanity came from two and only two people, and they didnt even have last names.

y'know whats worse? I knew a kid who'd get punished and reprimanded by his family for not believing the piles and loads their fundamnetalist parents tried to inundate and program him with; he basically got disowned by his father for not buying into the myth of creationism.
THAT irks me.....
