since when were chimpanzees exclusively quadrupedal? Or for that matter most Apes?

Chimpanzees are obligate quadrupeds. That's determined by the placement of the foramen magnum relative to the skull and spine. That doesn't mean they're exclusively quadrupeds like hoofed animals for example.

It's the placement of the foramen magnum in Taung Child that answered the bipedalism first/brain first question and tells us all sorts of things about evolution in Australopithecines.

The data were used to test the hypothesis that BSBIP and BSBIC measurements do not sufficiently distinguish P. troglodytes from hominids. While basion to biporion (BSBIP) does not effectively distinguish P. troglodytes from Plio-Pleistocene hominids and humans when used univariately, basion to bicarotid (BSBIC), when used univariately or bivariately with BSBIP, can be used to test whether or not an unknown specimen is a hominid. These results are used to evaluate the hominid status of Ardipithecus and Sahelanthropus.

As you see above, it takes convolutions and algorithmic magic, as the only means of maintaining your myth. You have bipeds around for more than 8my and likely 20my in the orang.


This nonsene of the positioning of the foramen magnum being indicative of humanity is just that, algorithmic nonsense.

Even your mate Dawkins suggests, and many others, that chimps may well have, perhaps/maybe, decendent from from human like bipeds.

What! No apology for the ridicule you aimed at me over Dawkins?

If Lucy was a biped with all that humanity tucked away in her lower body, yet was a chimp or gorilla ancestor as suggested, then any traits related to bipedalism and reduced pelvis is obviously no more than straw grabbing by researchers that speak to these. These evo researchers really have no idea but are hell bent on supporting the impossible by any desperate means available.

pgp for the millionth time, I know how to use the multi quote function, but my PC just won't have it.

You do not have to reply paragraph by paragraph. I am smart enough to make the connections myself.

..of course, that is, if you actually have something to say.....

Really?

You can trouble yourself to do [color=red][/color] over and over but your "computer" can't handle over and over?

I love it when evos zero in on sidewinds and meander down the road of nothingness because it demonstrates clearly you have nothing of sustance to add.

Where are the old timers, instead of the do drop ins with drop dead comments.

You have had it explained to you why they have mostly given up on you as a hopeless pupil. Seemingly you are incapable of understanding this either.

Actually all the evolutionists woffle since my erectus challenge has demonstrated is that it has been totally ignored and unchallenged.

As all can see by going back a few pages not any one of you have offered any substantial theory or alternative explanation that aligns with observation.

Hence by default all the garble, ridicule and comics actually do not address my post at all and hence I WIN. I win in that I can offer a creationist paradigm that aligns with ALL the data, as opposed to you lot who haven't produced anything.

Don't feel too bad because the reasonings that your very well credentialed researchers offer, that none of you have found let alone tried to use, are in themselves contradicted by observation. eg half wits cannot raise dependent neonates hence were furry apes. However at least your evo researchers have offered a non plausible explanation as opposed to you lot that have provided no more than Bla, ridicule comics, asides, denial but nothing that looks like reply let alone a refute.

The proof in the pudding is that the old timers have left because they simply cannot refute me nor can they lead the conversation down the garden path until they score a hit.

So you lot of newcomers to my challenge have actually done the same thing and NOT presented any substance what so ever.

Erectus/ergaster are no more human than a modern day gorilla. Your misrepresented fossils, like Turkana Boy, humanized to the hilt, is mess of contradiction, has morphed from athlete to short waddler, requires a pelvic reconstruction to align with the new flavour of the month. Erectus is primitive and hugely sexually dimorphic, lacks higher reasoning ability, abstract thought and sophisticated language, did not have the human FOXP2 gene, and demonstrates no sign of humanity.

Lucy, autralopithecus afarensis, is a chimp ancestor as supported by Dawkins and several other evo researchers and all her sprooked humanity is really no more than a desperate delusion and the same goes for erectus and all the other misrepresented intermediates.

No human link to a common ancestor with chimps = Support for the instant Creation of mankind.

Again I win my point by default and your smart butt comments do not take that away from me.

No that is illogical

We know that evolution implies that all organisms have a common ancestor. You are assuming that there is no common ancestor us with chimpanzees. While this assumption does by the rules of natural deduction imply that evolution did not occur you have yet to prove two things, that your assumption is correct and that no evolution implies special creation.

No matter what evidence is brought forth to you, you will dismiss it; Whether you do so out of ignorance (this is obvious) or from wanton disregard for the truth makes no difference.

IMO you should stop enjoying the fruits of science (Internet, PC, Medicine, etc.) lest you be branded a hypocrite!

The first challenge actually was to provide evidence for creationism, to which nobody in this forum (or elsewhere) has responded. You can try falsify evolution (which again and again you fail at) as many times as you want, that will not provide evidence for creation by an Abrahamic God.

No, all reptiles, amphibians, birds and mammals are tetrapod is an observation. Even the ones that have lost external legs still have the skeletal structure for them, and occationally actually present atavistic legs. The evolutionary explaination is that all these creatures evolved from an ancient tetrapod ancestor. What's the creationist explanation? God really likes four legs, enough to even hide their vestigal structure in legless creatures?

And yes, I know all about algorthms, I work in IT. We're dicussing biology here though.

They still evolved. And you havn't addressed my question. What is the creationist explanation for these things?

astridhere said:
Frogs legs are similar to mankind and they aren't even a mammal.

As we would expect if frogs and humans shared a distant tetrapod ancestor. What's the creationist explaination? Why do we see practically the same bone structure in a bat's wing as we do in a human hand?



You could explain where the classifications are wrong, showing your working rather than just handwaving and asserting "you're wrong!" but I won't hold my breath. You haven't done it with any other classification.

astridhere said:
It is all desperation and seeking any straw to save TOE from death.

TOE is a zombie and had died many times. .... The walking dead that refuses to die.


Maybe that's because despite your assertions it continues to make predictions, explain phenomena and have practical applications. Unlike creationism.

You have not replied to my post at all. You are heading off on a global aside. The theries of evolution rests on these types of supportive reasonings whereby you present so called intermediates that in reality makes no sense.

I have been expecting for weeks a reply to my evidence of erectus being a hairy ape, no more human than a gorilla is today. I've expected that you lot would evoke some reasonings around the Gona female erectus pelvis and I have been ready to demonstrate the nonsense behind it. None of you have given it a shot, nor even tried.

You evolutionists cannot defend one basic little challenge on one of the cornerstones relating to human evolution, erectus, in relation to new evidence.

Look at this above. Another whole page of woffle that goes nowhere near what I spoke to in the falsification of erectus's near humanity.

I'll repeat, if you cannot defend erectus as being an intermediate in relation to the latest research from your own evolutionary researchers then I win my point. It is that simple.

As I said some of you can only look up answers spoon fed to you. Many of you are unable to use your own reasoning ability to reply to my interpretations.
