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.
If you mean Noah's. It is a pagan myth adapted for the OT for some reason. I don't see much spiritual meaning in it, either.
It is possibly the worst entry in the Bible, except it is a nice story for kids and they can play with the boat and the plastic animals.
You are amused by my indignation at your unrepentant dishonesty? How... sick.
As if I even came near the viciouness displayed by darwinite crazies!
Please point out where I have ever done anything as vicious as using fabricated "quotes" to slander an author as being akin to a Nazi, and then stood by the lies when confronted with clear evidence of them -- as you have.
Darn right there, mayor. I know an enemy when I see one.
I quit tonight,,,maybe tomorrow, ..
lol, loveable muddled little Shubi dubitous. No
But I don’t advocate putting those who do it in cages or zoos. I advocate the much gentler course of trying to bring them to their senses by exposing their misrepresentations in public. I’m for telling the truth and letting people decide for themselves.
Run along now, little man. Go ping dreckleburg and cry into her skirts.
And I thought you were "through with me first!", kid.
Does your mommy know you've got a key to dad's liquor cabinet?
Grow up, sober up, and THEN think about speaking to adults. You might even consider speaking truthfully once in a while.
We'll work on the religious bigotry later.
Same level of maturity, and you both obviously think repeating lies makes you look smart.
The insanity and mendacity you two are showing is nauseating.
It is quite clear that they are either drunk or teenagers having fun, or both.
If this is what the Creationists have to rely on, we're in good shape.

I do not expect you to retract your lies that you and meta are giggling over, but simply wanted to point out to all and sunder exactly just how poor a liar you nuts are.
When you guys sober up, you're gonna be pretty embarassed, if you have the capacity. I'm doubtful that you do, given your conduct of the past 100 posts or so.
The Bible says what people interpret it to mean. If you are going by what the English, you have several degrees of separation from the real meaning.
Try the Paul Kretzmann Bible Commentary. Believe me, I do not solely use my own intelligence to determine what the Bible says.
Get rid of the bible and there is no problem with evolution at any level.
Something I can agree with.
First off let me apologize for the Warwick Church statement I put in. I misread the article that you referenced. Now for this:
Ah, I see you're incredibly ignorant of the fact that the *majority* of evolution-believing Americans are *CHRISTIANS*...
And your facts to back this up? I do not deny that there are Christians who believe in evolution. However, I do not classify them as inerrant Word of God believers. BIG difference.
I should point out that (quite to my surprise), I have shown that random mutation combined with selection converges exponentially fast the local "fitness" function. I had thought that the convergence would be only linear.
He repeated the mangled quotation after the correction had been posted. So not only do we have lying; we have an example of willful lying.
Verily the creationists are as ratherites.
"However, I do not classify them as inerrant Word of God believers. BIG difference."
The big problem with "inerrant" with creationism, is it isn't. By interpreting the Bible so simplistically and superficially it makes the text seem full of errors. Then you have to believe nonsense to hold to inerrancy.
Finding a real meaning of the text that comports with reality makes Scripture inerrant, because it reveals one of the meanings God wants you to get from it.
Try to follow God and not Henry Morris.
"In a related story, Anna Nicole Smith has offered the biped a lap dance..."
The biped's bones have lasted more than a million years, and in just one lapdance, they're squashed to dust.
You're post made no sense. Must be the bumping molecules in your brain. Darwinites have no consciousness. Metaphysical you know.
I'm not particularly gifted in math, but I'm not surprised. I happen to think that learning in brains works along those lines. I also think that learning is an evolutionary process that has a different and faster physical implemenatation. It will be interesting to see if anyone can replicate that functionality in silicon with a clock speed a bit faster than 100 hz.
I was indulging in a bit of sarcasm to a poster who said of creationists that a "Jonestown" was going to occur among them.
Lawlessness is what we would have if Evolutionism became not just a scientific field of study but a practised world view carried to its logical ends. You want to understand a Darwinian world view...just study the Democratic party and Liberalism!
And yes I like green Kool Aid!(and no I have not lost my faith!)
