…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.

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.

Beware of the "carbon-dating" ploy. Only capable of measuring back about 30,000 years...and no more. Certainly not in the millions of years.

Often they date the fossils by the geologic formations they are found in. But if you talk to geologists, they date the strata of rocks by the fossils they find.

Can anyone spell "circular reasoning"?
