This little video was shown at the apologetics group at the McLean Bible Church last week and the effect on viewers was rather striking.
Lucy is the 40% more-or-less complete australopithicus skeleton which is commonly presented as a missing link of sorts, and the thought processes behind the manner in which reconstructions of lucy are presented indicates a mindset in which, at every juncture at which reality clashes with ideology, it is reality which simply gets tossed.
Lucy's actual remains did not included hands or feet and reconstructions are commonly presented with human or near-human hands and feet despite the fact that other skeletons of the same creature have hands and feet which are clearly those of an ape, with curved fingers for moving about in trees. Mary Leakey in fact had found clear tracks of human footprints in the same strata and location as Lucy's remains and the assumption is that at least one australopithicus MUST have had human feet.
Asked whether a better explanation would be that the tracks were simply produced by humans, Leakey and others replied that was impossible since the tracks were millions of years old.
The obvious explanation of course is that a human made the footprints and "Lucy" was simply that human's pet monkey.
The story actually gets better (much better) from there if you can believe that, with evolutionists claiming that a deer or other animal trampled "Lucy"'s hips and pelvis, breaking them into pieces, and that the pieces congealed by chances into the conformation of those of an ape, and deriving the true picture of Lucy's hips and pelvis by making a plaster cast, breaking it up with a saw, and then rearranging the pieces into a more human conformation.
For anybody willing to part with the twelve dollars, this little documentary offers an astonishing glimpse into the mindset of the evolution true believer.
David Menton earned a Ph.D. in cell biology from Brown University. He served as a biomedical research technician at Mayo Clinic and then as an associate professor of anatomy at Washington University School of Medicine (St Louis). For almost two decades he has been profiled in American Men and Women of ScienceA Biographical Directory of Todays Leaders in Physical, Biological and Related Sciences. Dr. Menton has lectured throughout the United States and Canada on the creation-evolution controversy.
This is what you get for believing creationist sources. You're wrong.
"Sooner will a camel pass through a needle's eye than a great man be 'discovered' by an election"6 (Hitler was fond of paraphrasing the Bible (Mark 10:25 in this case), and he does this many, many times elsewhere in the book).
Note, I included a link for you to double check -- something you failed to do when you made your unsupported claim.
"Paleontologists forced to break the creature's massive thighbone to get it on a helicopter found not a solid piece of fossilized bone, but instead something looking a bit less like a rock.When they got it into a lab and chemically removed the hard minerals, they found what looked like blood vessels, bone cells and perhaps even blood cells.
"They are transparent, they are flexible," said Mary Higby Schweitzer of North Carolina State University and Montana State University, who conducted the study.
She said the vessels were flexible and in some cases their contents could be squeezed out.
"The microstructures that look like cells are preserved in every way," added Schweitzer, whose findings were published in the journal Science.
"Preservation of this extent, where you still have this flexibility and transparency, has never been seen in a dinosaur before." Feathers, hair and fossilized egg contents yes, but not truly soft tissue...."
The only problem here is in the minds of the evolutionists. The logic goes like this:
You see, you or I or anybody who didn't know any better might think that was a tree. But that's not a tree, and anybody who thinks it is is a "goob".
Or that picture. You guessed it, that's not a cow.....
See what I mean? That's the mindset you have to get into to be an evolutionist.
(sorry for the double post of the link)

I guess these documents contradicts the Vade's page.
no but 2nds posted a link to your 'page' that trys to portray him as Christian.
You're rapidly reaching medvedian levels of spamming nonsense, turning every thread into every previous thread.
Do you have to brazen everything? Do any of you have an molecule of integrity in your whole bodies? Please at least keep straight in your little head who you're talking to.
I'm used to people on these threads making unsupported -- and horribly wrong -- claims. Thirty seconds with Google would alleviate this problem, but there is a personality type that cannot be bothered to do actual research.
so you are going to remove the links that claims hitler was a christian from your homepage?
yes and clinton lied too...wow, hitler lied. actions speak louder than words.
Carrying more baggage around than I tend to realize.
Hitler persecuted church officials who showed any independence or criticism of his regime, yes. He still claimed 1) to be a Christian himself, and 2) Gott mit uns.
But you can have this discussion. It's irrelevant to the history of life on Earth.
thanks for that.
if you rely only on 'hitlers words'
then its tought to be upset, when others (creationist) bring up his officers 'words' that say nazism was "applied biology"

I don't get into the discussion of these points much because it's for idiots. The origin of species was largely a done deal by the time Hitler came to power in 1932. It doesn't matter what some Nazi officer said. Please distract yourself without me if you're not going to understand that.
As I said, you are so enamored of your black and white world, that you try to "insult" me by calling me a liberal and/or Al Gore fan, because I don't believe your tribal fairy tale. I know that it is a hard concept, so I'll try to speak slowly....
The...world...is...not...black...and...white..........
There are lots of shades of gray. You can pretend all you want that people who are educated and believe the evidence before their eyes must needs be liberals. Believe it all you want. But don't post it - it makes conservatives look like idiots.
Lucky me, you're not the owner of FR.
PARAPHRASING is the operative word. Is this the best you can do? Even the Devil when confronting Jesus used the Bible for his own means. Show me an Evo that has not used the Biblefor his own means (Libs do this all the time); even Darwin talked of a Creator!
