Poking fun at Creationists? Scientists keep on "finally" finding the missing link. Remember "Ida"?   Primate fossil 'not an ancestor'BBC News
Wednesday, 21 October 2009The exceptionally well-preserved fossil primate known as "Ida" is not a missing link as some have claimed, according to an analysis in the journal Nature. The research is the first independent assessment of the claims made in a scientific paper and a television documentary earlier this year. Dr Erik Seiffert says that Ida belonged to a group more closely linked to lemurs than to monkeys, apes or us. http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/science/nature/8318643.stmFossil hailed as Man's ancestor is 'not even close relative'From The Times
October 22, 2009 Darwinius masillae, the primitive primate that was unveiled to the world with huge fanfare and a Sir David Attenborough documentary in May, seems now to have been less of a missing link than an evolutionary dead end. Far from being an ancestor to humans, the lemur-like creature from 47 million years ago belongs to an entirely different branch of the primate family tree that has left no known descendants, research has indicated. http://www.timesonline.co.uk/tol/news/science/biology_evolution/article6884359.ece |

We've been over this many times. Christians do believe in evolution. Some believe in evolution beyond the level of species, while others believe in evolution below the level of species only. But simply saying that Christians do not believe in evolution is incorrect. It's like saying that Christians oppose stem cell research. Many people keep repeating that when it is not true. |

Correct. Also, the "missing link" isn't a single fossil. It's an entire fossil record. |

Like who? I think you are asking the wrong Christian, about this and about exorcism in the other thread. |

Beach Bum does not think evolution is true, nor does he believe the earth is older than 6,000 years. How do you dialogue with a Christian like that with whom you disagree? |

Do you know anyone in this world with whom you agree with on everything, 100%? If not, then how can you dialogue with anyone? |

So you do believe that humans share a common ancestor with other apes and that the earth is several billion years old. |

Ah. So now you're asking what I believe, after you posted what I believe? Very funny.  I don't have a problem answering your questions (which I've posted on this board numerous times), but why don't you quote me first in support of the comments you made about my beliefs. And remember Skip's Rule No. 1 from the Politics Board. http://www.getbig.com/boards/index.php?topic=393564.0 |

Genesis 2:7 Then the LORD God formed a man[c] from the dust of the ground and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life, and the man became a living being. The Hebrew word for Man is "adam" which is related to the word "adamah" which means ground. It's been a while since I've studied over this, but the Bible does not discount evolution. Science and God go hand in hand, they don't go against one another. |

Of course that's true. That's why Christians immediately accepted Darwin's premise. Do you even believe what you just wrote? The Bible didn't even accept that the Earth orbited the sun. THAT took a knock down, drag out fight. Christians always cling to the illogical until absolutely defeated, and then make lame excuses like this as their argument has been shot to shit. Are you drunk? |
