Yawn. I am truly tired of this stuff. They find one skull and now everything has changed. How many times have we heard this before? I remember "Lucy". I thought that "changed" everything? Who knows. I am tired of this pseudo science. I was watching some pathetic show about Dinosaurs and it had animated creatures (Discovery Chanel I think). And they were showing how these creaturees lived! What time of day they feeded- what they ate- and who their modern ancestors were! Such crap! At one point they showed some alligator type thing which the voice over said was the earliest ancestor of the Whale! Oh Really! And they know this how. So what was right after this species? Well - they showed a large extinct whale that looked nothing like the alligator guy. Where are the numerous in between fossils? I am not a creationist but something tells me the current theory of evolution is a house of cards.

OH, it's easy! See, if I have this being that looks like this, and this other being that looks like that, and they have remotely similar morphology, I can dream up a story where all these other beings I've never seen came between them, so they're related, see? I mean, don't forget- Chimp DNA is 97% the same as human.. But wait.. does that mean that 3% caused all the observed difference? So.. hmm.. maybe DNA is a much more sensitive thing that can't mutate like a wad of play dough.. hmm.. I'm confused. I need to go indoctrinate myself with more TalkOrigins. I'll be back to proselytize.

When I was in college - a long time ago - I was amazed at the conclusions that were drawn from very small pieces of evidence; in astronomy.

But look what we've accomplished! First-rate science takes great imagination and great courage. Scientists shouldn't be denigrated because an ignorant public demands certainty when there is none.
