Foiled Forever by Fossil Finding
Last January, Scientific American declared 2009 as “the year of Darwin” in celebration of the 200th anniversary of the birth of the revolutionary evolutionist who turned man into a monkey.
The celebration is understandable.
No thinker has accomplished more to create a cleft between science and religion.
No writer has done more to undermine the claim of scripture that man was made in the image and likeness of God.
No scholar has forged greater support for moral relativity and modern materialism.
His theories are treated as laws; his notions as knowledge; his speculation as science.
But a recent finding in Kenya has sent evolutionists into a tail-spin.
And freshly unearthed discoveries of Darwin’s life have caused the academic community to reconsider his greatness and his contribution to advancement of modern science.
The first debunking of Darwin came with the discovery this year of a 1.5 million-year-old footprint in northern Kenya – - the oldest relic of primitive man since Mary Leaky discovered 3.75 million-year-old tracks in the volcanic ash of northern Tanzania.
Darwinist scientists who the footprint discovered in Kenya reluctantly came to the conclusion that it was made by Homo Erectus who had no business appearing in the lower Paleolithic period of world history.
By scanning the footprints with lasers and measuring sediment compression, the scientists determined that the individual who left this print had a modern foot and stride: a mid-foot arch, straight big toe and heel-to-toe weight transfer.

De-bunked? When was he bunked? Nice theories are just that...nice theories...
Ridiculous assertion.
Like Evolution.
So why is it always taught in the media as "fact"?
Darwin might be right, in many respects.
There are radical Darwinists who DO believe that Darwin and evolution “Prove” there is no God.
There are radical Creationists who believe that the Bible “proves” that Darwin and Evolution are not possible, and that Darwin and Evolution must, in all cases, be an attack upon the faithful and an attack against God.
Both sides are wrong.
So why is it always taught in the media as “fact”?
I have no idea. I think it is based on the “two plus two is five” branch of science - we have two that we know about and can speculate SOLIDLY on two more and know that there just HAS to be one more, even though we can’t find it...
It isn't. It is taught as the 'Theory' of evolution. Look up the definition of 'theory.' It doesn't mean fact.
Straw dog arguments just make you look silly.
Ping to an interesting article.
And I am sure that whatever theory you have is wrong as well.
Unless, of course, you were an eyewitness to the process.
Do not use potty language - or references to potty language - on the Religion Forum.
Epic failure.
Darwinism is religion more than science - nearly pure conjecture. This is like unearthing a crossword puzzle Jesus did that contain numerous spelling errors.
I said that it is taught as fact in the MEDIA. It may be promulgated as a theory in schools, but in the Media evolution is taught as fact.
I watch these National Geographic programs all the time and they don't talk about the "theory" that these creatures evolved, they treat it as fact. They state, without qualification, the age of the rocks, the age of the universe, and the age of each creature and how and from what they evolved.
It is not taught in the media as any kind of "theory". It is represented as true without qualifications.
You don't listen to the MSM much, do you?
When we all get to find out what REALLY happened, I am pretty sure that both sides of the debate will be a bit humbled and embarrassed.
“Straw dog arguments just make you look silly.”
Silly? Popular insult on DU and in the Liberal press. OH NOOOOOOOOO I’ve been called SILLY! snicker....
No one said it WAS fact, silly, the opposite point was made, that it was preposterous that it was commonly treated AS IF it were fact. Silly....hmmmppphhhhhh....
What I said was it was a theory. Are you offering some special mystical insight here, ‘cause there is certainly no logic in correcting something that someone has said by emphasizing what they said, silly...
And, if you read what I stated, I did not claim to know for sure.
I simply stated, factually, that neither side can prove or disprove the other side.
In my view, God used evolution as part of His creation plan.
