You are another one that can only provide ridicule which BTW is not science.

I am asking you lot to support your interpretations of erectus in light of new evidence and not a single one of you have.

I win my point in declaring erectus to be no more than a hairy ape no more human than a chimp or gorilla is today.

You can sidewind, go for strolls down any garden path and ridicule me as much as you like and still you will not have supplied your support for erectus's intermediacy, let alone refute my interpretations and reasonings of erectus the half witted hairy ape.

Bring it on if you can and if you dare, because if I come back tomorrow and none of you have taken on the challenge I will finally declare myself the winner by default, if nothing else.

Erectus/ergaster is your cornerstone of intermediacy. Defend him in light of new evidence and the ridiculous scenarios your researchers have offered relating to their interpretations of the new Gona female erectus pelvis and huge sexual dimorphism found in erectus if you can.

You are the ones that ridicule creationists for not supporting their view and then when they do most of you are gobsmacked. You reply with nonsense, asides or ridicule just for sake of making a post and self soothing your egos but in no way address anything I have spoken to.

It is simple really. If you can't. If you can only sidewind your little selves away from the issue, evoke ridicule or global hand waves away, then I win on this point.

Yes, yes. When you point is dis-proven just ignore it and declare yourself the winner. Never fails.

I see; So let me get this straight: Evolution makes no sense to you and you dismiss it outright in favour of the following:

A man is created from dirt, fully grown with his senses and abilities fully functional. A woman is created from his rib. The woman eats a fruit after being told to do so by a snake?
They are known as Adam and Eve and are cast down to earth for their sin. They have 2 sons. Now a Father, a mother and two sons gave this world the whole population of humans in a matter of 4000 years? All this by incest?

Yeah right; and you have the gall to call evolution fake science

Also A being created the planets before he created light

Also a man and his family managed to collect a pair of all the world's animals (including penguins, dinosaurs, etc) put them on a ship he built himself and he and his family stayed on that ship for months because the whole world was inundated with flood water and yet an olive tree managed to survive underwater and the man and his family repopulated the planet with humans in less than 4000 years (incest again)

You have absolutely NO idea what science is all about and how it works and by what rules it functions. You insist on asking us to answer to your loaded pro creationism questions and also you dismiss science if it does not agree with your mythology

Let me remind you that religion is a spiritual thing and not science nor does it deal with the physical world. What you are trying to do is compare apples to transistors!

If you have any respect for religion then keep it as such and leave science to the scientists who do not live in a world where the sign says "Beyond here be dragons".

Hope you are having a good summer down under and are having a nice day

In the mean time, all that you lot (creationists) do is try to disprove evolution with the hope that it will grant support to your fantasies. Unfortunately, proving something wrong (which you are far from doing) does not make something else completely unrelated right. It's like saying "gravity is wrong, therefore storks bring our babies".

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've presented intermediaries? I don't remember doing that, and claiming that they

I have been expecting for weeks a reply to my evidence of erectus being a hairy ape,
I'm a hairy ape, are you saying that I'm not human?

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.
Because you have demonstrated time after time after time that you do not understand science and are unwilling to try to understand. Arguing with you about science isn't actually very helpful to anyone and I have already made streams of posts about how you don't understand, how you are twisting the evidence etc.

Evidence for someone' position automatically attacks the other. As for stork-babies and frog-prince jokes, after their own kind. This isn't Darwinism.

This makes just as much sense as Astrid's posts.

A "kind" is the same idea as a species since one "kind" is different from all other kinds.

Genesis tells us that there were 22 "kinds" of "men" one after the next.
They were not individual men, but a "kind" of man.
We know this because each "kind" lived way beyond the life span of any "kind" of animal on earth.

And we know this because the Bible tells us that Adam means a "kind," not a person nor individual:



Gen 5:2
Male and female created he THEM; and blessed THEM, and called THEIR name "Adam," (a species or kind) in the day when THEY were create.

You know this doesn't actually help to define the creationist concept of 'kind' neither does it really help the fact that your beliefs are incredibly wackey

But there's nothing to refute because you have provided no evidence. You've asserted that
- erectus is a non-human ape, something that no one disagrees with. Erectus is an ape, like humans, but is not homo sapiens.

-erectus is hairy, like a chimp, but provided no evidenced.

-that erectus could not have lit fires, despite evidence of controlled fires with some erectus remains. This also ignores the fact that if these were deliberately lit, it is not a skill most erectus had by the looks of things, so whether they could or could not is largely irrelevant.

-that erectus was too stupid to look after a dependant infant, ignoring that erectus had only a slightly smaller skull than modern human, and that many mammals that are considerably less intelligent than great apes manager to know how to feed their young and offer them the teat, rather than having a clinging infant that finds it themselves.

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.

And yet for all this you cannot type quote /quote and put it in the appropriate brackets. </cheap shot>

Saying its the similar to an already well defined scientific term is not really helpful and just makes the concept look inadequate

First of all Evolution is a process and the Theory of Evolution explains this process in a scientific way! Darwinism is not evolution as it implies a belief. Calling ToE, Darwinism is akin to calling quantum physics, Einsteinism!

Secondly; Humans ARE apes! We belong to the ape family!
