wendy1946: "The truth about "Lucy", and it does not resemble any of the claims by evolutionites."

I actually took the time, on my slow internet connection, to download and listen to your Dr. Menton.

Scientifically, all he does is make the case that "Lucy" was actually more ape-like and less human than Johnason, the Leaky's and other scientists originally believed.

Exactly how valid Menton's arguments are, no non-specialist can evaluate except by reference to the arguments of other technical experts.
But if Menton is correct, that begs the question: how certain are we, really, that Lucy's species made the famous footprints long associated with her?

The problem could be resolved if or when other Lucy type hip bones are found, added to those of species before and after Lucy -- either confirming or refuting Menton's arguments.

Theologically, Menton makes no case whatever against what even his own statistics show: that 80% of those who accept the scientific theory of evolution believe that it was directed by God and according to His plan -- Theistic Evolutionism.

So, when you make your arguments against atheistic evolutionism, you are only talking about 10% of people.
Everyone else, 90%, believes either that:

God created the species outright, as we see them today, and placed ancient appearing fossils in the ground, just to confuse us, or
God created the Universe and everything in it according to His design and plan, which includes the evolution of species.

Sure, it's true that some scientists have stretched their evidence as far as it would go, and that's why new scientific discoveries are always correcting old scientific ideas -- it's what science does, it's how science works.

So Menton's argument that Lucy was really more ape-like than human is interesting scientifically, but has no particular theoretical or theological implications, imho.
