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.

Forget fossils. They should start by publishing the exact methodology by which RANDOM macroevolution occurs at a molecular level.
LOL!
Why, just to have one?
And you have a tagline directed at “people like me?” You mean, in other words, that you are looking for trouble and misery? Because that is a good way to find it.
A smart man once said to me, “Jess, when you got shit on your mustache, the whole world stinks.”
That tagline of yours is the shit on your mustache.
You figure out why you have put it there and someday, someone might consider you a smart man...I doubt it, but miracles happen...until then, though, you are just a pouty little twerp with shit in his mustache...and looking pretty “silly”...
I really shouldn’t have said that to the poor dimwit...there is really nothing common about his ignorance...it is actually pretty rare to find so much in one place...like the Comstock load of stupidity...
LeGrande, indeed...
Discuss the issues all you want, but do NOT make it personal.

What ever happened to “Faith”? Some things cannot be understood by science, they require faith.
And thank you to the moderator.
I’m sorry. You are right. I tend to get a little ticked when someone points out to me that they think I am stupid, as the poster did with his tagline reference. But you are right. I apologize.
You seem to be the type of “Christian” who wastes his time trying to kick people out of the faith, rather than trying to attract people to the faith.
God does not give a rip about all of your “tests” for believers, so why do you?
However the Bible makes clear the two are mutually exclusive.
Can one be a Christian and not believe Christ’s words?
It may be because I grew up in Kalifornistan.
The discoveries are not only incredible but devastating for Darwinists who have held that Homo Erectus did not appear on the scene until 200,000 years ago. This assumption is contained in almost every world history and social studies text in the United States.
Darwinists hold nothing of the sort. Even a cursory glance at Wikipedia, or a googling of "homo erectus" would reveal that scientists beleive homo erectus to have existed from about 1.8 million to 500,000 years ago. Thus, finding homo erectus footprints at 1.5 million years is not a "shocking" discovery, nor does it conflict with the timeline of human evolution that paleontologists have generally accepted for the last 50 years. It is not Darwin who is debunked, but rather the article.
“Even a cursory glance at Wikipedia”
...which means, of course, a fifth grader or worse may have written it...
Thanks for the heads up, AZ :o)

Thanks for pinging the list.
I always learn something when they get involved with a thread.
Thanks for the ping!
Thanks. Wikipedia refernces are never a good idea no matter what argument you are trying to make...it should be outlawed on any board, in my opinion...
Yes, it is with slightly different word order, iirc.
