Please source the following claims which you have made recently:You have attempted to attack my characterization of some of these, but only with sound and fury signifying nothing. Post 1311 explains my understanding of your posts.1) There is a gap in hominid species after 4mya.
2) Hippos have been eliminated by DNA evidence as a nearest-relative of cetaceans.
3) Gould actually meant to say that creationists quote him correctly.
4) Evolutionists believe that humans descended from one of the modern primate species (all those apes and monkeys are really the same thing anyway) and simultaneously have known for thirty years that this is false.
You have ignored hippo-whale DNA. If you aren't going to defend it, you should admit you made a mistake. This would lend credibility to your claims that you are attempting to have an intelligent discussion and are not some self-imaged foaming-at-the-mouth berserker Holy Warrior who can make no concessions, not even the most obvious, to the dreaded Enemy. You've been hiding from facing your error for hundreds of posts, now. You're a coward.
When I showed that Gould accuses creationists (you and medved, e.g.) of distorting his views beyond all recognition, you accused me of distorting Gould's views. That means that you should be able to go to Gould's article and show where he really meant to say other than what my quotes would indicate. You can't do this and it's time to admit it.
You seek to disown my honest understanding of your claims vis-a-vis the evolutionary ancestry of Homo sapiens. That is, you now say you didn't allege a gap where the ancestor species needs to be. That looks hopelessly wrong. You have your work cut out.
You have also failed to defend your reliance upon the "even evolutionists have shown that man did not come from monkeys" as a catch-all mantra against overwhelming evidence. I have explained at many junctures that 1) apes are not monkeys, 2) evolutionists indeed know modern man did not come from modern monkeys or even any given particular extant ape species but we did diverge from the chimpanzee branch of the tree maybe 5 mya.
In other words, you're 0 for 4 on cleaning up your mess.
When I make a mistake, I admit it.
As usual when your back is against the wall you start denying what even evolutionists have been admitting to for decades (and what you have accepted as a true statement throughtout this thread) - that man did not descend from any of the monkey species - chimps, orangs or whatever. For decades they have been stating that man and monkey "branched out" more than 5 million years ago.
