Scientists Back Off of Ardi Claims (Evos give climate-hoaxers a run for their money...LOL!)

In May 2009, a remarkably well-preserved extinct primate, nicknamed “Ida,” was hailed as one of the most important fossil finds ever. It had features that some interpreted as a link between two primate body forms. At the time, ICR News suggested that its evolutionary significance was far overblown, predicting that the scientific consensus would offer retractions. Those retractions came three months later, confirming that the fossil―called Darwinius―was really just an extinct lemur variety...

Entertainment and pity, not despair.

Mostly entertainment.

[Ditto]

Because of what I put in the parenthesis in the title, and because I think they are linked/motivated by nature-religion, ideology, and fraud.

The article is not about global warming. You should not have it there.

[Buck W.]

You’re correct. Most Christians call it allegory.

[GodGunsGuts]

I don’t know of any reputable creationist organization that claims that. Care to demonstrate where Creation Ministries International, Creation Research Institute, Answers in Genesis, Creation-Evolution Headlines, Creation Research Society, etc, etc, teach the nonsense you allege???

[RoadGumby]

Funny you should mention pity. I find a bit of for those who not only call God into question, but call Him a liar to boot.

[ColdWater]

Thanks for finally complying with ICR’s copy rules.

[Buck W.]

And where do you find those poor souls?

[RoadGumby]

IF what you say is true, then most Christians are wrong. Sorry if that upsets you.

[ColdWater]

Regardless of whether or not JR sanctions your lies.. They are still lies.

JR on the TOE:

"The theory of evolution really has no bearing on what I'm trying to accomplish with FR anyway. "

[GodGunsGuts]

I want to give FReepers who are following the global warming hoax the opportunity to make the connection. See my profile page for another HUGE leftist science hoax.

[RoadGumby]

Well, let’s just take a look around......

Here’s a list:

TOE?
Totally Ossified Evangelicals?

Could you be more specific?

The fossils were heralded as missing links and it turns out they were wrongly classified.

What’s the lie here?

Is it that the author said that the fossils weren’t what they were claimed to be in the first place?

Or that someone initially claimed that they were something they weren’t after all?

[Buck W.]

No, most Christians are right and your small literalist sub-band is wrong.

[GodGunsGuts]

I don't do exact word counts, but I usually come in pretty close. But no worries, I can always count on you to conduct a word count after the fact :op

[Buck W.]

Speaking for me alone, I’m a Christian who requires no pity.

[editor-surveyor]

Hi RNMom!

Good to see you posting here.

[RoadGumby]

A person who does not believe what the Bible says, IMHO, is Not a Christian. That person discounts or dismisses what God has to tell us here. Calls Him a liar. Not much in the way of Christianity there.

[xcamel]

Yeah.. 10 or so members of the "Christian wrong..."

The real "Christian Right" wants nothing at all to do with them.

[Buck W.]

No, a person who believes that the bible is literally true without exception is a member of a small sub-band of Christianity. The rest of us know that allegory does not equate to lie.

Are Catholics Christian?
