I'll readily agree that what passes for "science" on the Discovery Channel is almost unadulterated speculation wrapped up in second-rate computer graphics.

Just wondering, what is the simplest life form that is able to be linked to the chain of evolution thus far?
Thanks

There are several scientists who would disagree with that.

The article only came out today in Nature. I know things are really fast on the web, but unfortunately most news sources seem to consider science rather boring.

This is just going to end up being another Archeoptrex (sp), where in 20 years they're just going to figure out it isn't a missing link....
Evolutionists want it boths ways. They want to claim missing links such as in a "Punctured Equilibrium" fashion, but admit that "Punctured Equilibrium" can't occur without:
A)Intelligent Design
B)Discounting everything we know about Micro-Biology
The fact is that the real problem Evolutionists have is that they have limited Origin Science (which is based on your philosophical pressupositions) to Material Monism without rationally proving Material Monism.
The fact is that Science holds to Material Monism without rationally proving it or even having the right to touch Origin Science. Origin studies reside in Philosophical worldview and Science shouldn't be messing with Philosophy.

Mudskippers are funny looking little dudes. Pretty amazing.
Thanks for the pic.

Still waiting on someone to explain the complexity of the cell to me or "molecular machinery". You really have no excuse to be so incredibly ignorant. Try reading a book sometime:

"This is just going to end up being another Archeoptrex (sp), where in 20 years they're just going to figure out it isn't a missing link...."
Archeopteryx IS a transitional.
"They want to claim missing links such as in a "Punctured Equilibrium" fashion, but admit that "Punctured Equilibrium" can't occur without:
A)Intelligent Design
B)Discounting everything we know about Micro-Biology "
Wrong on all accounts.
"Origin studies reside in Philosophical worldview and Science shouldn't be messing with Philosophy."
Historical sciences are as valid as any other branch of science.

so, then, you have a clone that doesn't have any DNA? Somewhere DNA has to be combined to create...You cannot get life with out life.Mixing mom and pop's DNA produces a change by reproduction not a clone. The result is different from either. It is the simplest example of change (evolution).

The original motion filmed in a movie, however was not an illusion.
Or perhaps you think it was.

Oh, puleeze....I think I will pass on that book.
Anyway, you lose the argument because you have to resort to 3rd grade comments about someone's IQ. Good day!

What, exactly, do you believe that "theory" means when you say that "evolution is just a THEORY". Please be specific.

Why do people always ask this? Do you really think that it is a problem for the theory of evolution that bacteria/apes/fish/whatever still exist and that somehow all of the scientists just completely overlooked this problem and when you point it out we will all throw up our hands and say, "Oh no! How foolish we have been!"?
As the other poster pointed out, if America was settled by Englishmen, why are there still Englishmen today?? And once you are born, how can your parents possibly have any other children? They way some people speak about this you'd think people would be required to keel over dead after producing their first baby (which would soon make us extinct, alas).

Someone's idea. Many, many people may agree with that idea but it does not make it a fact.

You have not yet answered, and I am still curious. Do you have actual statements of substance that you have not yet provided, or do you only have attacks of ridicule that do not even address the information being presented?

Human evolution? I don't know. I'm not a scientist, strictly an interested amateur.
Perhaps one of the scientists here can answer that. The best I could do is a Google search, which you could well do yourself.

To: yellowdoghunter
but I am still glad I didn't waste my money in college... Judging from your posts, you sure as heck did!
To: ConsentofGoverned
so we get: korean clone BS, forged and fudged data, and very specialized areas of study where one scientist cannot evaluate another..the perfect system for scams.
Do you have any substantial arguments to demonstrate that the claims regarding evolution are false, or do you wish to appeal to completely unrelated fields of studies and general assertions in lieu of actually supporting your claims with evidence?

Old ochre hound appears to be mired in the 3rd grade, probably as far as the old canine got.
