Groundbreaking Book: Science Shows Man Not an Ape

[truthfinder9]

One of biggest paradigm shifts in origins in recent years is when genetics and morphological studies began to show that Neanderthals and humans weren’t related. Sure, a lot of Darwin Fundies around here don’t know that because they get all of their science from the talking point lists of their Fundamentalist Leaders. So this is probably a big shock too, science is also showing that man is not related to any hominids including apes.

In the groundbreaking book, Who was Adam?, biochemist Fazale Rana examines the scientific research that is overturning Darwinian Fundamentalism. Here, using peer-reviewed research that the Darwin Fundies claim doesn’t exist, Rana shows man is unique and designed.

And he details the latest findings on the fossil record, junk DNA, Neanderthals, human and chimp genetics. There's more science here than most Darwin Fundies have ever read, but this will be the next great paradigm shift.

“The parallels between Genesis and the latest scientific data are profound...” - John A. Bloom, Ph.D., professor of physics, Biola University

On Rana’s previous book, Origins of Life:

“Evolution has just been dealt its deathblow. After reading Origins of Life, it is clear that evolution could not have occurred.” - Richard Smalley, Nobel Laureate, Chemistry, 1996, professor of physics and astronomy, Rice University

Real science by real scientists. According to Darwin Fundies this doesn't exist, but here it is.

We do?

Why do HUMANS and no other creature CONTINUE to grow intellectually, while other species remain just as primitive as they were 1,000,000 years ago?

How do you know? Talked to a porpoise lately?

That is because contrary to popular belief we don't actually worship the guy.

Well, do you believe anything he said regarding the origin of species?

paleonotologists and geologists are virtually non-existent on the ever-popular lists of creation "scientists."

I have told others many times how the strata is ignored by creationists.

The ACLU should sue in federal court to have this book removed from circulation for not being scientific.

You should sue the creationists in federal court and have them enjoined from spouting unscientific nonsense.

...we're crossing into the Bible that I don't believe in...

 

 

Do you 'believe' in any of THESE?

Isaiah 40:26
   Lift your eyes and look to the heavens: Who created all these? He who brings out the starry host one by one, and calls them each by name.

 

Isaiah 41:19-20
 19.  I will put in the desert the cedar and the acacia, the myrtle and the olive. I will set pines in the wasteland, the fir and the cypress together,
 20.  so that people may see and know, may consider and understand, that the hand of the LORD has done this, that the Holy One of Israel has created it.

Dogma only persuades the the converted, it holds no sway on those who do no already agree with it's conclusion

I don't know.... Present the dogma convincingly and attractively enough and you get converts... I've it done both with regard to religion and politics. And it's not only the shouting preacher who gets the converts.... Sometimes it's the still, small voice of a poem.

Why should they? There are tens of thousands of works of fiction on the market. What's one more?

[Elsie]

Of course:

Religious fundies are LOONEY!

[ml/nj]

Wow! Those are really relevant quotes. Darwin isn't famous for his feelings about the Gospels. He's famous for (supposedly) explaining how the diversity of life that we now can observe arose. Why don't you submit a couple of quotes from his magnum opus which you believe have withstood the test of time .

As a sidebar, for evo amusement, I just looking at something and stumbled across this, which may be the single funniest Creationist site I've ever seen:

http://www.fixedearth.com/

Yep, this guy believes the earth is fixed as the Bible dictates and Copernicism goes hand-in-hand with Darwinism as an evil conspiracy.

I believe in God the Creator. I see the debate as a question of method.

The Theory of Evolution states that there WAS no one man, but a wide population that managed to inherit that last mutated gene that makes MEN different from APES.

Well, I'm not a Christian so maybe I'm not the best to comment, but I don't see how the Theory of Evolution invalidates the idea that there was one first man. That "last mutated gene" had to evolve in a single individual. Why not Adam?

Very interesting, thanks for posting the link.

[Elsie]

Must have been a random mutation, sort of a neutrino strike on the DNA, right?

I don't know. see #314 above

I have never for one second ever believed that any ancester of mine was a knuckledragging gorilla.......Well ok then but my brother-in-law is not a blood relative.

A soul has no influence on the body?

That's a philosophical question that I am not equipped to answer. It's just not a question that science can address as the existence of a soul is a presumption of faith.

Biola is an acronym for Bible Institute Of Los Angeles. Don't suppose that swayed his decision, do you?

Huh? I'm not following here.
