It is considered good freeper etiquette to ping a freeper when talking about them in an open thread.

And, as long as i'm posting to the thread... this fossilized find of a variety or kind of monkey proves no "link" to anything whatsoever, except to the fantasy world of creation whoshipper's attempt to justify their worldly notion that some people think they are related to monkeys. Next month we'll have endless articles telling us all how Ida hunted for food, what tools she made, what she wore, how she communicated within the group and all sorts of other fanciful fairy tales based upon thin air. I can't wait for the laughs.

..oh...tag line redirect!

have a good day

Some scientists say

Don't you love the Katie Couric-type reporting?

Evolution and Christianity are perfectly compatible—don’t you agree?

Her sister’s name is Ima.

It is fascinating to see a previously unknown creature discovered. However, to think that any amount of fossils prove evolution is an error in logic. The discovery proves only what we know already: that the animal species have similarities, and that some species are more like some others. This does not prove that one complex species can evolve into another distinct species any more than an abundance of very similar Fords and Chevys in the junkyard prove that Fords evolve into Chevys.

Cat Stevens Yusef Islam has called Barack Obama a divine prophetic figure...

http://www.cnn.com/2009/SHOWBIZ/Music/05/18/yusuf.cat.stevens/index.html

CNN: Obama seems to be reaching out to people of all faiths around the world.

Yusuf: I think a person like Obama has some kind of faith in his special role that he has to perform. And that role — if not prophetic — it’s a divine role. It’s helping humanity and people get together and live together and prosper. That’s a big demand on one person, so it cannot happen with him alone. There’s going to have to be a lot of changes around the world. But it is happening.

CNN: There are people who have said you’ve been associated with groups funneling money to Hamas.

Yusuf: Yup. Yeah. So the biggest thing in my life is ... why do I have to defend being charitable? Oh, because somehow, somewhere, somebody got a bit of that money, and he’s on a list, and somebody else is on a list — God almighty! That has nothing to do with me. I’m just trying to be charitable!

Only if they found it in Al Capone's vault.

We dig up Monkeys and kill Human Babies and this is called Science.

Heck, I’d say Obama has a better chance of being the “missing link” than a baby monkey!

How STUPID can people get?

Don’t answer me.

I already know by those that want to believe this nonsense.

No, you are wrong, they have the evidence on this. Ida and his kin built cities and had written language, and just wait until the artist’s renderings are complete which they are working on furiously in order to make it into next years science books. They lived in harmony, had a zero carbon footprint, there was no murder or crime. Some of their early writings warned of their offspring becoming a virus to the planet, and become extremists and the texts say “holding onto vast superstitions and distorted views on the origins of all things”. They were worried about these truths being lost to time and have now been dicovered. All is lost. Even now the Pope is meeting with them urging them not to release the information. Tom Hanks is at the table as well, trying to copyright it all for his next movie. It is reported that priests in Rome and jumping from spires. /sarcasm off

You see Drudge yesterday? He labeled the rock skelaton “The Eight Wonder Of The World” and hyped it as much as anyone. And how about Google’s logo for today, on the browse page? Tomorrow they’ll probably put Ida on the quarter, give it a postage stamp, and put up a monument in Central Park.

Ida gettin’ out a here.

Good luck. GGG and his legion of followers are devoted to informing every Christian who doesn’t believe in a young earth that they are damned to burn in hell. He’s busy doing the devil’s work by creating a divide in the faithful. I recommend ignoring him.

The desperate movement to kill religion in America marches on...

Religion in America has been doing a good job of killing itself for a long time now.

Once you have swallowed the Great Cosmic Lie, all else is but raisins in the pudding.

Farewell, FR, you have officially jumped the shark.

I enjoyed Harvard scientist J. Lambert Fitzgerald’s quote about the Ida discovery: “Those bones those bones those dry bones, gonna’ get up and walk around”.

Yes.

You remind me that while zoology and paleontology is fun, the evolutionary agitprop is doing some real damage because people begin to confuse it with scientific method.

If you search on God or Jesus you get redirected to a story on Ida and how God is a myth with a disclaimer that Google will no longer serve up such damaging, divisive, hateful writings that have hurt so many of these past centuries ... /sarc (for now)
