The same proof in the fossil record that you use to claim Archeopteryx is a transitory species. So modern man began 65 million years ago?

And go find out what it takes for human speech, no ape or monkey has the equipment. And if we descended from apes? Why the difference in birth positions? What is the advantage being bequeathed by "natural selection?"

You're the expert, you tell me. Certainly you have an idea? Or do you need time to Google and find some professor that can tell you, and you can cut and paste HIS idea.

NONE of you can propose anything on your own. You lack the ability to use this theory you so lovingly clasp to your breasts, to account for all the specificity in species. From the woodpeckers beak, to the angler fish spitting a stream of water at low branches to knock off insects that he feeds on. And that fish had to figure out the air/water interface bending of light to come up with this circus act! But all a happy accident. Believing in evolution, you have lost the ability to think, mistaking arguments over process as understanding and knowledge, puffed up by mutual admiration societies of the arrogant, leading the proud to their frontal lobotomies. Cause there is only chance, or design, nobody has ever been able to propose a third way, although evolutionists pretend "natural selection," is a new animal, not chance...but not design either. Sort of a hybrid, like maybe rap/disco sung by a Country Western artist.

Can't we finish dealing with the old arguments before you wheel in a whole bunch of new ones. Have you worked out why those falsifications that Theobald suggests wouldn't falsify ToE yet?

B: I didn't claim that. What I did claim, and anybody without a reading comprehension problem could understand, was that most of the features you listed as properties of modern humans, actually predate humanity. Opposable thumbs, is a general property of primates, even prosimians. Hence, opposable thumbs were present at the dawn of primate evolution, 65 or so million years ago. THis is not rocket science. It is an easy to follow argument, whether or not one agrees with it.



And go find out what it takes for human speech, no ape or monkey has the equipment.

B: Thats quite right. We know the brain has an area which seems to be important in speech. Its called "Broca's Area" or Broca's Bulge. Even though brains aren't fossilized, the outer sturcture of the brain is preserved on the inside of the skull. THis is called a "cranial endocast". Chimps don't have a Broca's area. Neither did the Australopithicines, so far as I am aware. But it is present in the early hominid skulls, and becomes more pronounced during subsequent evolution. I would venture that this is strong evidence that speech evolved during the course of human evolution.


And if we descended from apes?

B: Evolution means change. Again, I don't see what you're on about.


Why the difference in birth positions? What is the advantage being bequeathed by "natural selection?"

B: Greater reproductive success. Women who tend to give breech births or babies facing the wrong way aren't as reproductively successful as women who do. Because either they or the child dies. That was an easy question.


You're the expert, you tell me. Certainly you have an idea? Or do you need time to Google and find some professor that can tell you, and you can cut and paste HIS idea.

B:Sorry, I have my own ideas.

NONE of you can propose anything on your own. You lack the ability to use this theory you so lovingly clasp to your breasts, to account for all the specificity in species.



B: Funny, but very little of what I have posted, perhaps 2-3% is not my "own words". You sir are a liar, and are ill suited and equipped to deal with the scientific evidence in a rigorous and even handed manner.
