PS WE WON THIS FIGHT! BUT IT IS STILL INSTRUCTIVE TO SEE WHAT MANY EVOS WILL STOOP TO IN ORDER TO KEEP THEIR STRANGLEHOLD ON PUBLIC EDUCATION.

[tacticalogic]

Okay. Everybody put all their cards on the table.

I thought that modern DNA analysis had determined that humans have no ancestry associated with the earlier Homo Whomevers.

If that is true, then why are these pseudo-scientists still claiming a lineage?

[GodGunsGuts]

I think we both know the answer to that one.

[Blue State Insurgent]

Why did God make us to look like apes rather then, say, dogs or horses?

[GodGunsGuts]

Why are you asking me?

[Mechanicos]

Bump

[Blue State Insurgent]

Because you seem convinced that evolution wasn’t the reason we look more like apes the any other animals so I was just wondering why you think we were created to look like them.

[Gumlegs]

Probably because what you thought has nothing to do with the facts.

>>I thought that modern DNA analysis had determined that humans have no ancestry associated with the earlier Homo Whomevers.

Quite the opposite. DNA has not only confirmed the fossil evidence of human development but has shown how the various groups migrated and end which branches ended without being our direct ancestors.

Here’s a good place to start

How does that prove Human Evolution?

[Jaime2099]

Human Evolution is one of the most vile and disgusting lies I have ever had to endure on this earth. The arrogant stupidity of these simpletons makes me both sadden and angry. They are so obsessed with their ridiculous hatred towards creation science that they will believe absolutely any child's fairy tale that opposes creation so they can live their life happy and Godless.

Mr. Wetherington your empty arguments of false proof for Human Evolution do nothing but show your hatred and not your scientific abilities. Monkey bones pieced together throughout the years do not prove that humans descended from animals. Human Evolution is stupidity in it's ugliest form and I am thrilled that nuts like you are finally getting some competition. Maybe one day your face will hang in the Hall of Scientific Shame for trying to convince well meaning masses of people to believe completely made up horse crap like Human Evolution.

"Fossil evidence of human evolutionary history is fragmentary and open to various interpretations."

I could not have said it better, bone rattling is open to interpretation. Well, I interpret it as an anti-creation forgery and mockery of science to suit the beliefs of a false religion.

[GodGunsGuts]

Now tell us what you really think :o)

Excellent reply!

[Wacka]

Human evolution and migration makes perfect sense.
Why do Aleut and Native Americans resemble Asians? Because their ancestor migrated over the land bridge from Asia. By looking at changes in the DNA sequences of certain genes, one can determine when ancestors of people in certain regions settled in the area. An example- the Basques are not from France or Spain, but elsewhere.
Why are certain blood types more prevalent in certain areas of the globe? Human migration and the founder effect.

Sorry to burst your bubble, but people are animals too. Of course we see that every day.

Thanks for the ping!

[[So when people talk about the lack of transitional fossils or gaps in the fossil record, it absolutely is not true.”]]

Ya gotta love hte hubris of people liek this- it’s liek a totaly toothless person standing there- gums gleeming in the wind, and stating “I have never lost a tooth- I have no gaps”

I can’t bleeive he is an ‘expert’ in the field of evolution- and worse yet, is allowed to testify statign complete lies like that- His intellectualt honesty is completely missing! But by golly the TSBOE will glom onto his ‘testimony’ as though it were gospel, while throwing out al lthe actual evidence to the contrary! With a fixed jury liek that- who needs eyewitnesses?

[freedumb2003]

They are so obsessed with their ridiculous hatred towards creation science that they will believe absolutely any child's fairy tale that opposes creation so they can live their life happy and Godless.

Such hate in your words! My brother, you need to express your love for all, even those with whom you do not agree.

Have a blessed day!

>>How does that prove Human Evolution?<<

Apparently they can trace common genes as they are propagated from one species to another. So they can even see a species like neanderthals that had genes from our common ancestor but whose line apparently ended.
