Discussion about scientific issues as they relate to God and Christianity including archaeology, origins of life, the universe, intelligent design, evolution, etc.
Let's be a bit more fair about this. Most evolutionists do not claim Lucy was a Hominid. Nor do they even claim that they know whether she was a direct descendent. However, the fossils show similarities to more upright walks than do either Bonobos or chimps.

Well done sir, well done.
To sustain the belief that there is no God, atheism has to demonstrate infinite knowledge, which is tantamount to saying, “I have infinite knowledge that there is no being in existence with infinite knowledge".

Danny, that is brilliant! Where did you get that from? Surely, you're not clever enough to come up with that one on your own.
That's the quote of the week!
John 5:24 24 “Truly, truly, I say to you, he who hears My word, and believes Him who sent Me, has eternal life, and does not come into judgment, but has passed out of death into life.

Australopithecus afarensis is one of the longest-lived and best-known early human species
Talk origins has listed Lucy as a Hominid and go into an explanation that says basically they have redefined the word Hominid to suit their presuppositions.
The word "hominid" in this website refers to members of the family of humans, Hominidae, which consists of all species on our side of the last common ancestor of humans and living apes.
I am all for fairness. What evidence are you using to arrive at your statement? I'm not cherry picking sites. Nearly every basic definition I've found of Lucy refers to her has Hominid, and many if not most suggest she is a human ancestor.

Ooh, that's an old one, Rick, just reworded (and so no doubt inferior) by me. So yes, you are right
Nice one. I'm starting to understand why most atheists never seem to stick around here for very long... people don't like to see arguments that they just can't answer or the attempts they do put up be dismantled (in other words, people don't like being made to look foolish).

Most atheists rely on numbers, arrogance, elephant hurling, loads of BS and refusal to listen, to gain advantage on threads and forum, youtube or FB...when they see some sense they run back, they don't want to be out numbered and they don't want to be proven wrong by low-IQ Christians
It would be a blessing if they missed the cairns and got lost on the way back. Or if
the Thing on the ice got them tonight.
I could only turn and stare in horror at the chief surgeon.

And with that we went below to the flame-flickering Darkness of the lower deck
and to a cold almost the equal of the Dante-esque Ninth Circle Arctic Night
without.

LOL...it's true
see below
"Elephant hurling is a debate tactic in which a debater will refer to a large body of evidence which supposedly supports the debater's arguments, but without demonstrating that all the evidence does indeed support the argument."

Ah, I love it! I was wondering what one could call that tactic. Here I am thinking of some elephant being hurled...LOL I think I'm going to laugh about it every time I'm faced with this scenario from now on. Thanks, Neo! LOL

Now that you have shown me another way to see it...I cant help myself either
