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...

Beats a pair!
She is saying **all** of them are... kinda sounds like taliban thinking...
You take exception to post 276?
I would say so. Either an error or a deliberate omission because they believed that the previous 'words of God' were not really the 'words of God' as determined by them.
Not important, I guess. Have a warm weekend.
The Apocrypha makes for some very good reading...
Especially all of the “corrections” to the Genesis record..
You can't even define or specify what constitutes a transitional fossil. All you and the YEC's do is reject the entire fossil database as not being compliant to your unspecified standard.
You are mixing up what it means to be a Christian and what it means to believe in manmade Christianity.
Jefferson declared that he was a materialist and that he did not believe in the doctrines of Jesus. This, of course, led to his writing of the "The Exaltation of a Reasonable Deity: Thomas Jefferson’s BIBLE of Christianity", which is described as follows:
The Jefferson Bible begins with an account of Jesus’s birth without references to angels, genealogy, or prophecy. Miracles, references to the Trinity and the divinity of Jesus, and Jesus' resurrection are also absent from the Jefferson Bible. (Erik Reece, "Jesus Without The Miracles - Thomas Jefferson's Bible and the Gospel of Thomas," Harper's Magazine, v. 311, n. 1867 (Dec. 1, 2005).
Jefferson concluded (given the virgin birth,the resurrection and all that crazy super natural stuff) that the Jesus of the Bible was an unreasonable deity. Therefore, Jefferson created his own super natural free and reasonable Jesus. Unfortunately, the Jesus that he created is not the Jesus of Bible, nor is it the Jesus of the Christian faith.
Jefferson's bible is not consistent with Christianity, nor is it Jesus honoring in any way.
You are scarcely worth time to type. You mock God, His Creation, the Bible, and tell me I AM MIXED UP?
Go ahead, wallow in your man-made evo theory. Science says it must be so.
Tell me, do you believe Christ died for your sins and rose again 3 days later?
Where did he declare that he did not believe in the doctrines of Jesus?
I guess a religious caucus thread would keep The Braying Bunch on the sidelines including the self proclaimed libertarian.
But then who would we laugh at?
I’m no liberal there celmak, if that’s what you’re inferring.
Gub’mnt schools are a disaster. I’d say first and foremost by omission- not teaching what a Constitutional Republic is, and secondly by intent-teaching Alinsky-esque agendas full of collectivism and dependency and supposed governmental authority. Freedom isn’t free;It must be guarded. Rights come with responsibilities( to yourself,family, community, the degree is self-defined); Government’s only delegated authority is to ensure my life, liberty, property, and pursuit of happiness is protected.
“You and liberals do in government schools...”
I don’t understand the context of this statement.
Let’s start with teaching that as a basis for education and see what happens.
Me mixed up. You are the one that believes that an imperfect book written by man is the word of a perfect God.
Funny, that is exactly what happened at the Nicene canonization of the original bible... and you take **that** as absolute fact.
Umm, when he wrote a Bible that had Jesus not as the Son of God? No virgin birth? No angels or miracles?
I guess that fits with you?
I’m aware that scientists don’t like the reasoning but that doesn’t change the fact that they were right.
Even though the process is in place to evaluate claims etc, either the announcements of the finds should be held back until a thorough examination is made, or the retraction should be by those who made the announcement and as publicly and widespread as that.
It doesn’t seem that the retractions get quite the coverage as the announcements, and all that does is lend itself to accusations of agenda and cover-ups.
And I suppose that that is the teaching of your catholic Church?
No. I asked you once before and you didn’t respond. I was just jogging your memory.
Care to answer and tell us what parts of the article are lies.
Where in the bible does it say he rose again 3 days later?
