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.
The thread was about evolutionists lying and in less thn 50 posts you all used your magic to turn it into Christians lying. I bet if you all try real hard, you can get it down to 49 posts!
It's already clear that the creationists approve of stringing together parts of quotes to change the meaning. Now they are just congratulating each other on these actions.
yes, we high five with our bibles, thump, thump!
I have relatives who are darwinites. I was done with you first.
Are you sure you're not metacognitive posting under a different name? Ichneumon posted the exact quotes he disagreed with and metacognitive is now pretending he didn't post it. Then following the usual program, he's now pretending that the conversation didn't happen.
You guys wonder why you can't get a fair hearing. It's because you refuse to engage in honest discourse. Your position requires you to repeatedly lie to everyone.
Works for me!
lol
Why don't you end the suspense and tell us exactly where you stand?
You have yet to present a point of view.
No. The fake Christians on this thread took care of that. I don't understand why you support lying to protect this other person's income?
LOL! Here's an unexpected turn on a crevo thread. ;)
you need to read the thread again. It started out being about the lies that evolutionists tell. I dont know what anyone here does for a living and I dont care, let alone am I "supporting" any. The usual suspects are name calling, and I'm commenting. Is that a crime now, too?
This crevo thinks even in a fallen state the Designer's design is pretty cool.
are you admitting to being an intolerant darwinite zealot?
Defend this statement. Point out where I, or anyone for that matter, has said anything like this, or retract it.
You miss a lot . No wonder you believe in darwin.
Read Dennet, poison page 591. Kind of like the darwinite eugenicists...if you're not evolved, they'll FIX you.
Aw, now I see where you are coming from:
A Safe Healing Place
The Warwick Church of Christ is committed to being a community of worshippers who provide a safe environment to explore issues and problems, a commitment to healing of hurts and damage, including the fact that the Bible uses the word interchangeably with salvation, in places, and a community in which every person can find their place.... a sense of belonging and purpose.
You will never convince a Bible believing Christian that man is evolved from apes. A Christian will never convince an evolutionist that man is created by God without using the Bible.
You've got to be kidding me. What paradise? Nature has nothing to offer but violent, cruel indifference. Even if these ravens are being constantly "entertained" (and to the extent they are, it's by violent humans dropping bread or food on the ground for them to gorge on) and have no natural enemies, the elements (wind, rain, lightning, cold) are very unforgiving.
Every show about animals that isn't about domesticated pets should have the same title: "How Animals Cruelly Disembowel and Eat Each Other Alive". Robins plucking helpless worms off the sidewalk, a pack of wolves running some poor stray critter to death and then ripping it open. Sharks, tigers, pirahna, hawks, eagles, etc. Even animals that aren't carnivores eat plants that can't even fight back or run away.
I stand by my statement that animals spend most of their waking hours in some form of discomfort struggling to survive.
One very aggressive advocate of evolution, Professor Dennett, is so angered by the influence of religion in the arena of science (i.e. evolution) that he proposes that theistic religion should continue to exist only in “cultural zoos.” Note well the warning he gives to Christian parents: “Is there a conflict between science and religion here? There most certainly is . . . Save the Baptists! Yes, of course, but not by all means. Not if it means tolerating the deliberate misinforming of children about the natural world . . . Should evolution be taught in schools? Should arithmetic be taught? Should history? Misinforming a child is a terrible offense . . . . . . those whose visions dictate that they cannot peacefully coexist with the rest of us we will have to quarantine as best we can, minimizing the pain and damage, trying always to leave open a path or two that may come to seem acceptable. . . If you insist on teaching your children falsehoods – that the Earth is flat, that ‘Man’ is not a product of evolution by natural selection – then you must expect, at the very least, that those of us who have freedom of speech will feel free to describe your teachings as the spreading of falsehoods, and will attempt to demonstrate this to your children at our earliest opportunity. Our future well-being – the well-being of all of us on this planet – depends on the education of our descendants.”12
I think Dennis Prager has a better answer than I could give:
"Only if there is a God who created man is man worth anything beyond the chemicals of which he is composed. Judeo-Christian religions hold that human beings are created in the image of God. If we are not, we are created in the image of carbon dioxide. Which has a higher value is not hard to determine."
