creationists have been saying habilis and erectus were living side by side many times over the last decade or more...

but we were mocked, and ridiculed....

Had a phone call while posting this so couldn't think of a coherent comment.

Their co-existence makes it unlikely that Homo erectus evolved from Homo habilis

You don't say.

Its simply more chronic masturbation from the academic set.

New evidence in China, which appeared on this site this week, suggests
that we evolved out of an Asian ancestor.

One things is for sure: someone is CLEARLY wrong. And just
because one is clearly wrong does not make the other one right.
Academia! Isn’t it wonderful! You do not need to be conclusive,
just argumentative!

I think it was Mark Twain who said that only in science can you reap such a wholesale return of conjecture from such a tiny investment of fact.

Why am I not surprised that the first 4 posts mock science.

Creationists have been saying a lot of things, including that all science that conflicts with the bible is BS, evolution is impossible, the age of the earth is under 10,000 years, and Homo erectus and Homo ergaster evolved from Noah's descendants after the flood, etc.

Until creationists actually spend the years of study and research that it requires to have a valid scientific opinion in these matters, they will not be paid any attention.

I haven't followed the recent items about Europe being populated from Asia rather than directly from Africa very closely, but I believe they are talking about a much more recent period (after Homo sapiens was around).

You’re wrong. All you need to study is the Bible. You don’t need any research. You don’t need science books - or history books either for that matter. Throw them away.

What are you, anyway? A socialist evolutionist God-hater?

"the easiest way to interpret these fossils is that there was an ancestral species that gave rise to both of them somewhere between two and three million years ago."

That sure was easy to say. Maybe these scientists will even find some actual evidence that such an alleged species ever existed. That's not quite as easy though.

interesting, no one disputed that we creationists have been saying that habilis and erectus coexisted as humans....hmmmm

instead, attempts at insults, how utterly civil of all of you...

so why would this stop us from mocking and ridculing creationists? ha.

Noah’s flood? The earth is under 10,000 years old?
thank god the Inquisition is not around!!! We would have to burn a lot of scientists at the stake!

Not science, just evolutionism.

Read them again. They say “academia.” Sorry, the Earth isn’t 6000 years old, it’s not even 60000 years old... We need a couple of more orders of magnitude.

Actually only one refers to "academia" of which science is a subset.

I have no idea how old the earth is. I am unable to measure that, but then so is everyone else.

When he was good, he was very good.
