Those are cool. But you know what they do not prove a thing. You can jump, cry, call me names, hold your breath.

Those are dead bones and nothing more. There is not one single shread of evidence that they gave birth to anything. You can assume, presume, conjecture, suppose, dream, wish, but there is no proof. Just because a guy went and dug them up and wrote a paper about them means nothing, specially because the men that did it had a presupposition that they were scion to a monkey.

Then we agree on something!

But you know what they do not prove a thing.

The do not prove anything because science does not deal in "proof." However, taken collectively, with the other sciences, they contribute to a preponderance of evidence for the theory of evolution.

You can jump, cry, call me names, hold your breath.

Sorry, tonight is my night off from those things. Check back in a couple of nights maybe we can work something out.

That's ape, not monkey. And there is a preponderance of evidence. It is just that you have blinders on and cannot allow yourself to see it. You have a worldview that excludes these things, and nothing can intrude upon that worldview.

But your mistake is to try to pass this worldview off as science. It is not science. It is a belief system shared by only a small percentage even of Christians.

So, since you also appreciate them, here is one more. Then I really need to turn in.
