Adnan Oktar, a creationist and rival of Richard Dawkins, has offered trillions of pounds to any scientists who can show proof of evolution.

Mr Oktar, 52, who successfully campaigned for Mr Dawkins' official website to be banned in Turkey, has said he will give 10 trillion Turkish lira, roughly equal to £4.4trn "to anyone who produces a single intermediate-form fossil demonstrating evolution."

Please don’t presume to assign reasons to me.

Items presented as “evidence” meet that criteria only to extent that you accept the premise.

Brain volume and jaw structure are two factors used to allocate skulls to either ape or human species.
Several of these skulls coexisted and the differences are clear. But since you refuse to provide the associated docmentation, I’m not going to participate in “name that photo”.
End of discussion, as I have work to do.
If you believed your position you’d be attempting to collect on the offer.

And if you believe that any evidence would be acceptable to this Creationist Muslim retard you need to think again. There would never be a payoff. The Muslim is as impenetrable to the Scientific evidence as you.

Mostly, I don’t accept photo’s as “scientific evidence”.
Your attempt to redefine “science” is embarrassing.

The actual skulls are the Scientific evidence. What do you think is incorrect or misleading about the photos of the Scientific evidence?

Your characterization that one or more “evolved” into mankind, when each is allocable to one species or the other.

What two species can all those skulls be grouped into and where is the dividing line between “one species or the other”?

Nice to keep up on the Islamic movements.

And how did those differences arise? I don't remember anything in Genesis about God creating several different types of humans. Where do you think neanderthal came from? Are they sons of Adam and daughters of Eve? How did they get so different?
