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...

Which translates into precisely how many lawsuits?

Not even the point, the point was your pretending that they didn't exist.

Now we see it only counts when it suits yur purposes.

typical liberalism.

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!


Oh just give it a little more time, and the NEA will find some way to demand God be kept out of math class, like they have virtually all other classes.

I’m not the one with an invisible friend in the sky.

He's everywhere.

You worship the creature. I'll worship the Creator.

Obviously an evo-cultist like Johanson would want to change what he said when it came time to publish about Lucy.

Johanson's Lucy was published in 1981. The Creationist misunderestanding was to the answer to a question after a lecture given in 1986

Either Willis or Johanson (probably Willis) misunderstood the question being asked. The question was not how far away from Lucy her own knee joint was found, but rather how far away from Lucy was the knee joint Johanson found the year before he discovered Lucy. The discoveries of both the original knee joint (1973) and Lucy (1974) are described in detail--including the locations of the finds--in Donald C. Johanson and Maitland E. Edey, _Lucy: The Beginnings of Humankind_ (1981) and in the articles in the April 1982 issue of the _American Journal of Physical Anthropology_. The creationist misunderstanding would never have occurred had either of these sources been consulted. Johanson has always been clear about

I made several points...one of which was godless liberals have been attacking Christianity in this country:

Michael Newdow hijacks his own daughter because he’s uncomfortable with God, being reminded of his insecurities when children site the pledge in school...or sees IGWT on our coins, led him to sue.

ACLU and godless libs attack town logos, suing to get crosses removed, including Los Angeles and Las Cruces, (the crosses in Spanish)

suing to get a cross removed from a cemetery of all places (Mt. Soledad)

the evidence is too overwhelming and for you liberals pretending it doesn’t exist on a pro-Christian conservative website such as FR just makes you look silly, aptly named whattajoke.

But then again, I think you liberals gave up on looking silly a long time ago.

You’re just hand-waving away Johanson’s deceit. Typical evo-cultist “argument”. One doesn’t need to read Lucy to know he lied.

Why do creationists stoop either to lying or the blind embrace of their own willful ignorance? You appear to be incapable of crafting a meaningful argument, so you resort to this childish response. How do you oknow Johanson is lying? Because Phil Johnson told you so? Or perhaps it was a member of the brain trust at the Discovery Institute. I would suggest you take the time to educate yourself about the state of modern science, rather than huddling in the corner because you think if you applied some critical thought, the witches might get you.

ToGodBeTheGlory: This account has been banned or suspended.

LOL. I always said he wasn’t real. No matter how over the top he went, not one single creationist ever told him he was nuts. (metmom did agree with me that he was not who he said he was.)

So... Since coyoteman was banned for calling this clown on his nonsense, will he be reinstated now?

I didn’t know that’s what cost CM his seat at the head of the class. I certainly would like to see him return.

“"Heavier test line" is a clear reference to trolling, and someone trolling on an Internet forum is a "troll," by definition.”
Completely ridiculous [pathetic] argument.

Evos rarely slap down one on their side either.

I always figure that it's just a matter of time if someone is over the top. It usually catches up with them.

Not an argument, just a statement of fact.

Or what do you think a troll is?

“Not an argument, just a statement of fact.” [excerpt]
Perhaps in your mind.

“Or what do you think a troll is?” [excerpt]
Someone is certainly not a troll just because they mention fishing line.

To suggest otherwise is utterly ludicrous.
