Re: Ardi - Ardipithecus ramidus

The mainstream media has only one position on Darwinian evolution: it is a fact as sure as the earth revolves around the sun. As a rule (with few exceptions), no other view, dissenting scholars, opinions, models, proofs, discussion or debate is permitted on their airwaves if it runs contrary to pro...

Re: Ardi - Ardipithecus ramidus

Kent Hovind has done more for Jesus then most of us on this forum. What he did was wrong, but who of us can cast the first stone? I know I can't! We are to love one another including our enemies. Where is the love in the Church? Why bash someone who was witnessing for God? y:-/ Kent did a good deal...

Re: Ardi - Ardipithecus ramidus

When it comes to fossils, you cannot prove scientifically that any fossil is a transition from one specie to another. You cannot prove that this fossil gave birth to another fossil. You can't even prove that any specific fossil reproduced at all. Again, no one is claiming that fossil A is creature ...

erawdrah said: Fossils don't prove evolution. You can't prove that any fossil had any children that lived. All a fossil proves is that something died. In thousands of years time, if the body of a woman from this generation is exhumed, and she gave birth to 4 children in our time, it could easily be...

Surely the force would be the safest option (if not as cool as the laser swords)?

Re: Ardi - Ardipithecus ramidus

Again, Darwinian evolution is not science.. It has nothing to with biology, except if you want to talk mirco-evolution.. Darwin made observations but no real mathematical calculations for it... You can't take Darwinism and formulate it to an equation like F=MA the force of gravity. The are no formu...

Re: Ardi - Ardipithecus ramidus

Gravity is a physical theory though, not a biological one; biological theories differ in that they stem from the laws of physics but are obfuscated by the mechanics of living organisms. For example the germ theory of disease or the theory that HIV is the cause of AIDS are biological theories that a...

Re: Ardi - Ardipithecus ramidus

In any event, you should not be quick to be offended by anything I have to say as my life and well being hang by a very thin thread that could snap at any time. If it does, I won't be posting here anymore. Honestly, you can rest in the knowledge that your life is better than mine and carry on. You ...

Re: Ardi - Ardipithecus ramidus

Darwinian evolution is a different kind of science, it's a historical science that claims what happened in the past. As an example comparing Darwinian evolution to gravity.. There is a categorical difference between evolutionary science and gravity.. Gravity can make simple predictions like the gra...

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

Well, not. Not if Ardi was the single best preserved individual, but it was clear that other individuals were of the same species. It's not like they would have found, say, and elephant's rib cage and thought "yep, that'll do.". Other species of what? How do we know what species it was? I...

Re: Ardi - Ardipithecus ramidus

The final explanation was that scarce dietary resources required an efficient means of travel. In the late Miocene, hominid dietary resources become thinly dispersed in some areas, requiring possible extensive travel to exploit those resources. Why energy-consuming bipedalism, as opposed to quadrup...

Re: Ardi - Ardipithecus ramidus

I'm not sure on this one so I'll have to go do some reading - but I think the featured picture is of the Ardi individual; there were other (15 in total, IIRC) individuals whose remains were collected so the rib structure was probably derived from those samples. So in other words, we don't have enou...
