The skulls are designed to demonstrate evidence of evolution

See -- even YOU know that the body was designed. But yet you stubbornly refuse to credit the Designer, instead giving credit to a random process proposed by a dead guy.

Yes, they are indeed designed, to demonstrate evidence of design.

Now go back and cover your ears and eyes and shout me down. But you know the truth, and the Creator will hold you accountable -- that "all this" was designed.

The Rise and Fall of Skull KNM-ER 1470, a glimpse  into some mens fancy, or rather 'the transitional'. The Rise and Fall of Skull KNM-ER 1470

In late 1972, an enigmatic fossilized skull was unearthed near Lake Turkana, Kenya. The skull, which was subsequently accessioned as East Rudolf specimen 1470 (or KNM–ER 1470 in abbreviated form), was unearthed by Bernard Ngeneo — a field worker for renowned paleoanthropologist, Richard E. Leakey.

The discovery was greeted with much enthusiasm by evolutionists the world over because it appeared to bridge the gap between the putative hominid line of ancestors (including the australopithecines and Homo habilis) and the decidedly more humanlike fossils designated Homo erectus

Leakey himself ended up back pedaling on this one..,

There is precious little evidence to show otherwise. For the present it should be quietly packed away and added to the long list of abandoned or downgraded hominid specimens, which once adorned our natural history textbooks.

The history is full of incidents like this, all cloistered away.

That skull might be a transitional in their flow chart with all its 'best guess dotted lines' but that is where it ends.

That skull is nothing but a composite (that they assert is 1.75 mya) 1.75 million years old, and is made up of a few hundred pieces that don't fit together all to well.



Just one place to start is that rear head area, another is the profile. But don't take my word for it, take the images they bring here as evidence, enlarge the images, and start taking a look. Put that in context to what they are suggesting. Then apply the most accurate dating methods to the pieces, and notice the margin of error applied to each piece.

Placemarker Ping List

A courtesy 'ping' service for everytime I might contemplate making a post so all affected evos can get their 'placemarkers' in

You have been added to this courtesy ping list by way of demonstrating an interest in my posts by use of the 'Message in a Placemarker' and/or having numerous sidebar conversations about me.

To assist beginners: But it's "just a placemarker" Evos are Troll's Toolkit
and how to marginalize science with religious fanaticism toward the monkey god of darwinist ideology.

I am amazed at how well creationist can quote mine, even from a post that can be looked back at to see the original.

Completely amazing is how you can ignore the science, because your religious faith is so weak.

Science has nothing to do with your religion, nor your religious faith, or in your case, lack thereof.

If you faith was indeed strong, as you so claim, you would not be threatened by a scientific theory.

It's science, and it has nothing to say about your religious beliefs or faith.
