ADDIS ABABA, Ethiopia — One of the world's most famous fossils — the 3.2 million-year-old Lucy skeleton unearthed in Ethiopia in 1974 — is to travel to the United States, going on display abroad for the first time, officials said Tuesday.

The Holy Lord laid out this abomination upon the sand to test the faith of men. Unto all will crackles of lightning fly, and woe unto him who darkens the helldoor of any museum which may hold these devilbones.

Looking at the bones in this pic, I just don't get how this is the "Smoking Gun" that verifies we evolved from apes......

Ping for when I've been drinking and that post may make sense.

"we evolved from apes."

Popular mistake.

Common ancestor actually, not evolved from apes.

"Common ancestor actually, not evolved from apes."

So what is the human starting point then?

It's not a mistake, it's deliberate ignorance.

It is the Lord's Own Blood you must drink to truly understand, from a golden cup encrusted with the most precious of saintly jewels. Whiskey is naught but Satan's own micturation.

Hee hee! You're funny! You ought to include a /sarcasm tag with your posts though, or else folks will think your a raving loon.

Sarcasm is the lingua franca of the unreconstructed Satanist. It is something in which a warrior for Our Lord will never engage.

Thanks for the heads-up: I look forward to seeing her when she comes to New York.

"So what is the human starting point then?"

I am not here to debate it.
I was simply making a correction to what the theory in fact is.

LOL! Dude (or dudette), a shot of whiskey (prozac may help as well) just might be the thing you need.

Not only that but if you read the real story about Lucy you will find that some of "her bones" were found a half mile or so away from the rest of them which tells me that all the bones are not from the same ape. These idiots will go to any length rather than admit they are pushing a loser.

Oh, that's cute!

We saw a re-pro of "Lucy" at the Natural History museum in Balboa Park, San Diego, CA many years ago. Since I'm only 5'1", Husband's only comment was, "That's pretty much what you'd look like dressed out." LOL!

We're hunters, not cannibals, if anyone doesn't get the humor. ;)
