Apparently, this critter had some features of a primate and some of a monkey... Not to nitpick overmuch, but monkeys are primates - the two groups are not mutually exclusive, although not all primates are monkeys ;)
Anyway, perhaps you meant "ape" instead of "primate"?

Are you certain that's the 14m find being reported here, rather than this find from last year:
Last year, the team found a 13m-year-old partial skeleton, also believed to be a common ancestor of apes and humans - a male fruit-eater, nicknamed Pau.

Would that be the original Patrick Henry who was a creationist? It is unlikely that the original Patrick Henry was a creationist, as creationism was only invented by Ellen G White in the 1880s

The details on these finds are in PatrickHenry's List-O-Links.Would that be the original Patrick Henry who was a creationist?
No, that would be the PatrickHenry on these crevo threads. If you have a question for him, you might ask. Be warned, he does not generally reply to trolls.

That's pretty funny, there, razorbak. Since the original Patrick Henry predated Darwin by quite a bit, there would have been no conflict.
The concept of creationism as an opposing idea to the theory of evolution could not have occurred before Darwin published.
Nice try, though....

Right you are, of course. I typed faster than my brain worked. It happens. It's hell getting old....

I have always wondered about a few things about the evolution crowd..
Do you think that when their life turns to crap, and death is near, Do they pray to Darwin?
AND..Why would an educated group of people spare no expense in trying to prove that they are really monkeys?
I'm sure you can't answer that, but I've often wondered.

Evilution Theology bump. And once again, when a creationist wants to insult evolution, he calls it "religion."
"Very revealing" placemarker.

From time to time, it's necessary to point out that the original Patrick Henry lived and died before Darwin published Origin of Species, so what he might have thought about evolution -- if anything -- is irrelevant.

Pretty funny. Those Christians and Jews who are proponents of the theory of evolution no doubt pray to the same deity you do.
Others, like myself, have no belief in supernatural entities and generally reflect on their lives as they near death. The knowledge of that generally helps atheists to maximize their potential and live as good a life as possible, since that's all there is.
