Re: I need an atheist

Why don't you ask limerick? wayne will do nicely. I would ask lim for another paper after this one but I'm not sure if he likes me anymore. Unfortunately I can have that effect on people. I don't know why either as I'm so lovable and hugable and upbeat. :pound: Vicki told me about this thread age a...

Re: Ardi - Ardipithecus ramidus

No, I was giving you an example which I think is obvious. Homo Sapien and neanderthal have/had a common ancestor, There is no proof of that assertion... You are coming from a creationist viewpoint, thus, you will never have enough evidence, however this for me is solid evidence, you might disagree ...

Re: Ardi - Ardipithecus ramidus

Gman Said No... It's not ABC, Discovery, NG, Time or the media's fault. They were simply reporting what the scientists told them... I sincerely doubt the Scientists told them it was a direct ancestor. I fail to see what you are saying.. He said, "Ardi is on our side of the family tree, not the...

Re: Ardi - Ardipithecus ramidus

No, but what unfortunately what happens is that in the "retelling" in the mainstream media, the research is diluted and people come away with overblown conclusions or oversimplified concepts. Look at this thread...so much that the mainstream media reported has had to be clarified. So if y...

Re: Ardi - Ardipithecus ramidus

For some benign reason I am only after spotting this post now, so here is my belated reply. Gman Said: So ABC is retracting their statement too? Where and when are they claiming that? Also you are wrong about Tim White. Look at the sentence above, he said that it was our ancestor as it relates to L...

Gman Said: Really? Well apparently ABC news is claiming the exact same thing.. Did they jump the boat too? 'Ardi:' 4.4 Million-Year-Old Fossil is Oldest Human Ancestor. "Scientists today told the world what they know about Ardipithecus ramidus -- "Ardi" for short -- the oldest pre-hu...

Re: Ardi - Ardipithecus ramidus

I understand. You won't accept the truth of my comments. Here's some more. Chimps are well known aggressors in the wild, the discussion goes way beyond the materially notable biological differences between chimps and humans, evolution is a theory not a fact that is strangely practiced like a substi...

Re: Ardi - Ardipithecus ramidus

Gman Said: Would you call National Geographic a liar? At no stage did I call National Geographic a liar. The following paragraph from the same NG story should clarify the matter: "Announced at joint press conferences in Washington, D.C., and Addis Ababa, Ethiopia, the analysis of the Ardipithe...

Re: Ardi - Ardipithecus ramidus

You can call chimps your cousins if you like and pretend we aren't much different at all. You can go work with chimps and get in their cages and roll around with them and try to teach them to evolve faster. But you'll be deceived because chimps are animals sans-Imago Dei plain and simple and there ...

Re: Ardi - Ardipithecus ramidus

Bipedalism seems to have arisen at a time and place where there was little or no ecological or environmental pressure to have selected for its evolution. Bipedalism appeared suddenly in the fossil record over 5 million years ago. The adaptations necessary to achieve bipedalism are remarkably extens...

Re: Ardi - Ardipithecus ramidus

They are not claiming it to be a smoking gun for evolution, as far as they are concerned evolution is fact, this just helps them further in understanding how hominoids evolved. Not true.. They are claiming that "Ardi is clearly a human ancestor and her descendants did not grow up to be chimpan...
