More from that Ethiopian fossil find that sends hominid roots back more than 4 million years.

Damn that evidence, it just keeps on coming

Yeah. Stupid Evos have to keep changing their theory to fit the facts that come up </CRIDer "logic">

Well, you must operate in a different world. No study is ever final or definitive. You tell others what you have done to let them know what you got and what you think and to keep them from getting there first. Feedback is then used to look again or try to find more information. Eventually a picture emerges, maybe like you thopught and maybe not.

Two more missing links that haven't been found. It gets worse and worse.

Well there was more than a few teeth, but you knew that because you read the paper, didn't you?

Yep, it is just you. A few of the most noble purposes of scientific publishing are to invite debate, reveal evidence found and provoke commentary on the working hypotheses.

Someone should tell the CRIDers that "Because the Bible Says So" or "abracadabra" (ID) is not "debate" nor "commentary."

Can you trace your family tree back more than 5 or 6 generations? If not - then what is the proof you exist? Where did you come from? Where are YOUR missing links? It gets worse and worse.

The teeth look like a remarkable match, but I'm not a bone person. What do you think C-man?

True enough. I guess engineers have to deal more in absolutes than scientists.

A half dozen broken teeth. It couldn't be any clearer than that, could it?

A half dozen documents linking Saddam to al-Qaeda.

Funny how some people have no trouble with that connection, but when it comes to fossil evidence, well....that's a whole 'nother story, isn't it?

No more ramidus?

Only for Muslims, and then only one month a year.

Let's check with Dr. Piltdown, of the University of Sussex, for his opinion.

Right after I get back from church with Rev. Jim Jones.

From the same issue there's a short blurb showing domesticated wheat grains from 6500-9000 years ago in Syria. Oh well, I guess there was no flood, even locally.

Engineers come in after the scientists finish.

"A team led by anthropologist Tim D. White of the University of California, Berkeley unearthed 31 fossils of Australopithecus anamensis, the earliest known species of this ancient hominid genus. The finds, from at least eight individuals, consist primarily of teeth and jaws, but include foot and hand bones and much of an upper right-leg bone. "

More than 6 teeth I'd say.

And here I thought "missing links" were the "proof" from the other Crevo thread where the poster asserted Evos were impatient.

Seems like a heap of extrapolation built on the shaky foundation of a qualitatively poor sample of one.

And if the science isn't well established (dare I say proven?), then stuff fails.

Another who has not read the paper but feel qualified to pontificate on its merits.

Oh how I weep for my fellow man.

I know of a multimillion dollar pilot plant built on a gas chromatograph peak. Oops!, it was discovered when the plant was almost done that the peak was something other than what it was thought.

Can you say egg on your face? Some managerial (and others too) people wanted something so bad they took a short cut. Well, it was only money.
