Tell me about the dicovery location of Lucy's hip bone relative to where her knee bone was found.
That's one of the reasons evolution is so controversial and why G Larry is pointing you to Lucy.

Creationist scientists are routinely prevented from reviewing specimens. Scientists like Dr. Sternberg at the Smithsonian Institute are threatened with having access cut off if they support anything other than evolution.
Evolutionists are trying their best to silence discussion of Intelligent Design in scientific circles, because they do not want their claims challenged.
That's why Eugine Scott, the Executive Director of the National Center for Science Education, recently told scientists to avoid debates.
How do you check and double check a scientific theory, if it's proponents won't debate you, won't let you view the evidence, and won't publish your work for other scientists to see?
