Last night on a thread I asked all the evolutionists to just give me a CRUMB of evidence........I's still waiting!! They called me all kinds of names, but not ONE fact could they show me....oh, they showed a PICTURE of a skull that was said to be a bird with teeth....that's it....and a flow chart...geesh.

Jonathan Wells is a follower of Rev Moon, who promotes that he is the Christ returned. Wells has no credentials in science.

He is merely trying to make money by writing a book, and every chapter is soundly answered in an on-going series at www.pandasthumb.org.

Not quite true. I posted this to you and called your attention to it several times. This is evidence whether you care to admit it or not.

This is a transitional. Note its position in the chart which follows (hint--in the upper center):

Fossil: KNM-ER 3733

Site: Koobi Fora (Upper KBS tuff, area 104), Lake Turkana, Kenya (4, 1)

Discovered By: B. Ngeneo, 1975 (1)

Estimated Age of Fossil: 1.75 mya * determined by Stratigraphic, faunal, paleomagnetic & radiometric data (1, 4)

Species Name: Homo ergaster (1, 7, 8), Homo erectus (3, 4, 7), Homo erectus ergaster (25)

Gender: Female (species presumed to be sexually dimorphic) (1, 8)

Cranial Capacity: 850 cc (1, 3, 4)

Information: Tools found in same layer (8, 9). Found with KNM-ER 406 A. boisei (effectively eliminating single species hypothesis) (1)

Interpretation: Adult (based on cranial sutures, molar eruption and dental wear) (1)

Ask Running Wolf abour that skull....he's pretty much destroyed your theory. And for get the flow chart.

I don't need Wolfies opinions about this skull. I studied this subject for six years in grad school and can form my own opinions. (And Wolfie has not destroyed any part of evolutionary theory.)

You stated recently:

They called me all kinds of names, but not ONE fact could they show me....oh, they showed a PICTURE of a skull that was said to be a bird with teeth....that's it....and a flow chart...geesh.

You wanted "a CRUMB of evidence" or "ONE fact" -- I showed you a very nice skull. This skull is both evidence and a fact. I even included a chart to show its theorized relationship to other specimens.

But given your posting history I am confident you will continue to deny there is any evidence for evolution.

That's not true. I provided links to the website, which has liks to several essays on the subject. Here's one. Be sure to check part 5, where there is a detailed reptile-to-mammal series.

Evolution is interesting but it doesn't unify so well with chemistry and physics. I'll take the latter two to run my car, thanks.
