A joint Ethiopian-US team of palaeontologists announced on Saturday they had discovered the world's oldest biped skeleton to be unearthed so far, dating it to between 3.8 and four million years old.
"This is the world's oldest biped," Bruce Latimer, director of the natural history museum in Cleveland, Ohio, told a news conference in the Ethiopian capital, adding that "it will revolutionise the way we see human evolution".
The bones were found three weeks ago in Ethiopia's Afar region, at a site some 60 kilometres from Hadar where Lucy, one of the first hominids, was discovered in 1974. Researchers at the site in northeast Ethiopia have in all unearthed 12 hominid fossils, of which parts of one skeleton were discovered.
And then to REPEAT the lies, again and again...what possible end is to be reached by this? It can only get them laughed out of any serious policy descisions and educational institutions.
Of course you've been shown, on this very thread, that your "evidence" for this consists of a quote you pieced together from totally unrelated statements that had absolutely nothing to do with the final quote. You are dishonest, and you are brazen in your dishonesty. Whatever happened to "thou shall not bear false witness?" I suppose it doesn't apply to you?
and verse vice-a to you...why do you take time to call names while you refuse to listen to alternative views?
Seems like a waste of time unless you have nothing else to do.
It is however more accurate than the Creationist myths.
The thread has been hijacked, everyone lies, except the noble scientists
Please point out where I advocate the incarceration and forced conversion of Christians to atheism. I eagerly await your reply.
Apparently the ends justify the means for this crowd, even when such means destroy the ends.
There is the distinct possibility metacognative is a Democrat plant trying to discredit Republicans and conservatives in general by giving his DU buddies "quotes" to latch onto.
I've seen the P.H. home page. Reminds me of the Book of Mormon.
lol, but without the charm
Why should a liar's views be considered?
"Seems like a waste of time unless you have nothing else to do."
Notice how no one is defending you? Even your compadres know that'd be a waste of time.
We can now add "Bigot" to "Liar" and "Hypocrite" to your list.
I'm done with you.
What do I care if no one is defending me? I'm not a darwin herd animal. Call me some more names. That's the way to prove yourself to your herd.
Well you've won the debate when all they have left is name calling
That's the way I see. When the facts aren't on your side, pound the table
"All the data fits, as predicted. "- Patrick Henry
It's not the modification of the theory that I object to. I understand that's the way science works.
It's the presentation of it as "everything fits as predicted". Implying it's all a nice neat little bundle exactly as it was predicted that we should mindlessly accept because authority has blessed it.
When obviously it's not. Everything doesn't fit.
To paraphrase, is there no end to the depths you guys will sink?
Indeed:
...darwinites will treat you like the church treated heretics. Maybe a concentration camp is preferable to burning at the stake.
3.8 million years is just a blink in the eye of the universe - it's like comparing your montly income to the national debt. Way before the homids sleazy worms called Democrats were busy trying to control the earth.
