Can we give her a decent burial now?
Bummer! Now how do I explain DemocRATS to the grandkids?
PS I have seen the following video series, and they are excellent (esp. for the kids)!
Incredible Creatures That Defy Evolution is a delightful trio of films by Dr. Jobe Martin produced by Exploration Films. Perfect for the family and Christian school, these interesting and fun films showcase a zoo full of amazing animals – big and small, familiar and unfamiliar. It’s also the story of an evolutionist who was challenged by the evidence to consider creation. Dr. Martin, who was personal dentist to President Lyndon Johnson, followed the evidence and became a creationist and devout Bible-believing Christian. His own personal enthusiasm for the wonders of the animal world shows through each episode. The short-module arrangement makes the films convenient for teachers. They’re fun to watch over and over
Who wouldn’t be interested in learning more about elephants and giraffes and penguins and hummingbirds and lions? From the dog and the horse to birds and insects you probably never heard of, their stories are told by Dr. Martin and field host David Hames with great photography and amazing facts. Dr. Martin has uncovered some facts that are little known even by experts. The evidence speaks for itself: these animals could never have evolved by chance and natural selection; they were designed. The films go beyond mere intelligent design. They present the God of the Bible as Creator, and also share Martin's own testimony of the power of the gospel in his own life. Your life will be happier if Dr. Martin’s effervescent love and enthusiasm for creation rubs off on you. Browse the science catalog at Exploration Films for books, study guides and other resources available to accompany the films.

Only the incorrectly taught or deliberately misrepresenting would claim men evolved from apes. For those of you who wish to be educated, men and apes are descended from a common ancestor. To those of you who wish to continue perpetuating untruths, what else are you lying about?
Lucy Ping about your ( our) Lucy Ancestor
Whew, thanks for the link!
I find it amazing that this new “find” - Ardi - who now replaces LUCY - was is being given the ga ga treatment it has received (saw one guy on tv news interview just overwhelmed with emotion at this new “discovery”)....when the guy who made this discovery reported the fossil was so fragile it dissolved into dust at the touch. Yet from that, we get this full blown picture of Ardi??
What faith does it take for “scientists” to “believe in” this new tale of our human “ancestry”....in the long line of evolutionary “tales”.....which eventually prove to be either fakes or wrong by new “discoveries”.
A LOT MORE FAITH then it takes to look at creation and to know that only Creator God could have done this, including making mankind IN HIS IMAGE just as His Word says!
I remeber a small story when we decoded the genetic code that some scientists were going to use that code that determine once and for all that we were descended from apes.
The last I heard it was actually showing a different genetic result. Could this be part of that?
Apes will be relieved to hear this.
” If a snake on a plane made it to Hawaii, for instance, many native birds would be severely threatened.”
Your source needs a lesson in basic biology. It takes at least two snakes, unless the one on the plane was carrying but he doesn’t say that.
We we disowned?
It was always my understanding that evolutionary theory said there was a common ancestor, not a direct descent from apes. Am I mistaken?
More and more spam from the “expert”.
Five threads in five days on the very same thing. If others did that, they’d be warned.
Just showing your utter lack of knowledge GGG. Please get a REAL education.
Face it, Gibbons, Orangs, gorillas, chimps and humans ALL had a common ancestor. Evolution is real whether you like it or not.
“The scoop is this: Lucy had nothing to do with our family tree after all.”
—Not from anything I’ve seen. The articles I’ve read so far are all saying that Ardipithecus is probably ancestral to Au. anamensis which is ancestral to Au. afarensis. Even from the articles by Lovejoy, who they quote in this article.
This quote in the article from Lovejoy is probably what they are misreading:
“Even as its fossil record proliferated, however, Australopithecus continued to provide only an incomplete understanding of hominid origins. Paradoxically, in light of Ardipithecus, we can now see that Australopithecus was too derived—its locomotion too sophisticated, and its invasion of new habitats too advanced—not to almost entirely obscure earlier hominid evolutionary dynamics.”
—In other words, he’s saying that Australopithecus was already too far along in evolution towards becoming human to tell us much about the common ancestor of us and chimps or to tell us much about how/why we began evolving the way we did. Lucy was too far long to tell us what was going on at that early period.
“Only Biblical creationists seem to be asking the other overlooked question: how can they prove those dates without assuming evolution?”
—Huh? The same way it’s done now. What has evolution got to do with the assigned dates?
“In fact, all chimpanzees and great apes are now on different branches.”
—Duh. They are separate species – how would they possibly be on the same branch?
“The century and a half since Darwin commonly portrayed humans as higher up the family tree on a continuous lineage with chimpanzees our nearest living relatives.”
—Actually, the past century and half has been spent trying to explain to Creationists that chimpanzees are not our ancestors.
I’m amazed, GGG, that it took our esteemed naturalists only 15 years to concoct this story about “Ardi”. Normal folks would be embarrassed. I’ll sooner understand the logic of Zombified Obots than this. lol Bob
