No more love for Lucy? (33 years of evolutionary propoganda up in smoke)

No more love for Lucy?

Ryan Jaroncyk

For over the last 30 years, the supposedly 3 . 2 Ma old Australopithecus afarensis specimen known as ‘Lucy’ has been boldly proclaimed as the ancestor of all humanity in magazines, television shows, books, newspapers and museums. However, Tel Aviv University anthropologists have published a study casting serious doubt on Lucy’s role as mankind’s ape ancestor.1 Based on a comparative analysis of jaw bones in living and extinct primates, researchers concluded that Lucy and members of her kind should be ‘placed as the beginning of the branch that evolved in parallel to ours.’ In other words, Lucy should no longer be considered to be our direct ancestor. Lucy’s demise falsifies 33 years of evolutionary hyperbole and propaganda...

I was agreeing with you. I don’t know what you’re getting upset about. I’ll avoid you next time.

Jeez.

Another creationist lie shown to be false years ago. You’ll really have to do better.

“The claim is not only false, it is clearly shown to be false in Johanson’s published writings about ‘Lucy’ (e.g., Johanson and Edey 1981, ch. 7-8) and it has been pointed out repeatedly to its proponents that it is false. Despite this, none of the major proponents of the claim has publicly retracted it.”

If we decended from the apes, why are there still apes?

If many Americans are descended from Europeans, why are there still Europeans?

Really? Which “stuff” do you refer to? Let’s discuss it.

Obviously an evo-cultist like Johanson would want to change what he said when it came time to publish about Lucy. Too bad it’s a fact he lied about it and earlier said he found it a mile from the rest of the skeleton. Just another evo-atheist fraud. They could fill a library with their deceit.

BUT... “Lucy” is such a pleasant, human-sounding name! I can still feel her spirit coursing through my veins. I’ve been such a fool! I need a good cry, I think. Bob

LOL! See what happens when you to über Christians yelp at each other? Even you guys can't tell parody from the "real deal." I know I've never been able to with either of you two.

The only that is parody is evo-atheists going onto a conservative website and spreading their Satanic bilge all the while trying to pass themselves off as the true conservatives. It would be funny if it wasn’t so deadly serious.

Since you hold yourself out as an authority on "evo-atheist fraud and deceit," perhaps you could identify some examples of this fraud and deceit in the 112,286 articles dealing with various aspects of evolution in this one U.S. National Institutes of Health "library".

LOL - before the voices in your head start yelling, you’d better get some rest.

I use the Gregorian, but only because of cultural hegemony.

It seems like with all those calendars you listed you're free to just pick another one.

Come to think of it, countries like China and Cuba utilize the Christian calendar too, just as countries utilize English when conversing internationally, air traffic control, etc.

All kinds of excuses can be made, convenience, or to avoid confusion, or whatever.

I know a Vietnamese family, they celebrate Tet, and in thier kitchen hangs a calendar much like the one that hangs in our kitchen: today being March 12, 2009 AD.

What does this remind me of...???? Oh yeah, the 16+ million hits I got when typing in "Christian" and "lawsuits".

As an exercise, you may want to look a little closer at those hits.

After a bunch of "Should Christians sue other Christians" hits, we get charming things like "LAWSUITS CHRISTIAN TEACHER DRUGGED, SEXUALLY ABUSED STUDENTS IN PUEBLO" and "Brazil's Christian Church Loses First 5 of About 100 Lawsuits Against Press" and "Sex abuse lawsuits bring Christian Gospel Temple under fire" etc.

In fact, in the first two pages, I find only one instance of an article that you meant to draw attention to: "CHRISTIAN COALITION BESET BY DISCRIMINATION LAWSUITS AND DWINDLING INFLUENCE, MEDIA REPORTS ASSERT" And that one's on a website that you surely hate - it's supporting church/state separation.

So what was your point again?

show us the links where Cedric “publicly declared himself to be a troll in other threads”

There was this:

Ya fell for another one!

And this:
I gotta go.

Need to get a bigger hook and heavier test line.

"Heavier test line" is a clear reference to trolling, and someone trolling on an Internet forum is a "troll," by definition.

Because humans are not isolated from each other to the degree that differential speciation can occur. Genetic drift however, continues.


What exactly would this “degree of isolation” need to be in order for this “differential speciation” to occur and what does genetic drift have to do with not recognizing human evolution occuring in the past several centuries or more?

Let’s all just be grateful that the Bible has little to say about arithmetic, otherwise the sky-pilots would be denouncing The Devil’s calculus and the perfectly sulphurous realm of probably communistic Imaginary Numbers!

Oh, the humanity!

Which translates into precisely how many lawsuits?

(Hint, web hits mean as much in your example as they do when you type in "astrological truth".)

Yours is a tortured, moronic, unfounded conclusion, not proof of a self-declaration.

You sir or madam, are a liar.
