Where have I heard this song before? Piltdown, maybe?

Ooh, good point! Somebody perpetrated a fraud! Anytime that happens, it means that all the other discoveries and conclusions in the field are invalid.

Now lets talk about these molecule thingies the "scientists" claim exist. I've never seen one, nor have I ever seen a ruler as small as these guys say these things are. I have no idea how you would measure one, much less determine which kinds are are in different thing ("H2O"... arbitrary gibberish!) so it must be that they don't exist, and those that say they do are just making things up to try and justify their positions.

Obviously the people who believe in these "invisible" components aren't as smart as I am. How I pity them.

Actually, I’m a HS Science teacher who advocates and defends “evolution” at every turn. However, this article struck me as suspect from several directions: 1. Either something was lost in the translation, or it was poorly written to begin with. Not convincing. 2. The location of the site was in European Georgia (part of the late USSR and home of J. Stalin and N. Krushchev. Folks there don’t have a strong tradition of scientific discipline. 3. The findings concerning the variance in “progress” between the skull and legs, are not what I would expect, but what one might expect from a charlatan. The only thing going for the article was its reported publication in the journal Nature. Overall, I’m skeptical.
