A lot in common with the Evolutionists.

The Sahelanthropus has been nicknamed Toumai

There is your nickname.

[Constitution Day]

This guy needs a good nickname at least!

How about "Hanging Chad"? After all, that's where it was found!

[DoughtyOne]

It is interesting. It's also humorous. Every find like this is heralded as the greatest find in history. LOL. I have this scene in my minds eye that sees an anomoly, possibly a very inferior specimin that may not be representative at all. But now that it is discovered, the scientific community is all aflutter. What we may be about to base all our belief systems on could be nothing more than that day's missing link, but not ours.

What if ten thousand years from now somebody uncovers Michael Jackson? I can see it now, yep Ludwig those 21st century humanoids were a strange lot.

Remember the large dinosour that had the wrong head on it for decades? There are times when I have to wink when the scientific community pats itself on the back.

I have examined the photograph of the skull and, after much study and research, have come to the following conclusion: There's a piece missing.

[ibme]

The evolutionist place all their hope on one bone, and we call that science!

[Gumlegs]

Ummm ... this is "Bob," as he appeared in "Men In Black." Doesn't look at all like the guy above.

[Darth Reagan]

How about "Hanging Chad"? After all, that's where it was found!

They said they haven't determined if it is male or female!

[RobRoy]

And then there's Kennewick man...

[RightWhale]

we'll know more in the future about where this skull fits

They have a piece of a jaw they think is part of the skull. Teeth are the key! Means they can link this up.

[general_re]

Ah, I forgot about that Bob. Something else, then?

[wallcrawlr]

...is thought to be approximately seven million years old.

Does anyone really believe that?

[Gumlegs]

Given his/her current state, how about "Bitsy"?

[RobRoy]

Well, that's over twice as old as I am. But to be fair, I was in cryogenic sleep for most of that time, so it may not count.

Hey, it was a long trip...

[DaveyB]

…is thought to be approximately seven million years old...

Who thinks it is 70,000,000 years old? And how did they arrive at this conclusion?

I think maybe the desperation to rationalize the evolution myth is so great that the conclusion is dating the evidence or is that predating.

[RobRoy]

We know it was seven million years old because it was in a rock that old. We know the rock was that old because it contained a seven million year old skull.

Elementary, my dear WAtson.

[Icthus]

"..The skull is so old that it comes from a time when the creatures which were to become modern humans had not long diverged from the line that would become chimpanzees.."

So....let me get this straight....this skull, is from a "creature" that had not even become a chimpanzee yet, much less a modern human?

[Constitution Day]

LOL, I guess they haven't.

[DoughtyOne]

I do remember him, but remind me of the significance if you would. I don't remember the details on that one.

[RobRoy]

This statement is really creepy. It assumes a lot of theoretical stuff as "fact."

The phrase
"it comes from a time when the creatures which were to become modern humans..."
should read
"it comes from a time when the creatures which some believe were to become modern humans...""
