No more love for Lucy?
Ryan Jaroncyk
For over the last 30 years, the supposedly 3 . 2 Ma old Australopithecus afarensis specimen known as ‘Lucy’ has been boldly proclaimed as the ancestor of all humanity in magazines, television shows, books, newspapers and museums. However, Tel Aviv University anthropologists have published a study casting serious doubt on Lucy’s role as mankind’s ape ancestor.1 Based on a comparative analysis of jaw bones in living and extinct primates, researchers concluded that Lucy and members of her kind should be ‘placed as the beginning of the branch that evolved in parallel to ours.’ In other words, Lucy should no longer be considered to be our direct ancestor. Lucy’s demise falsifies 33 years of evolutionary hyperbole and propaganda...

I have the “Lucy” book. Wonder how much I could get for it on EBAY?
How so, considering that Christ spoke against it?
The author fails to note that he is anti-evolution theory. That matters.
If Americans descended from Europeans, why are there still Europeans?
The list is getting pretty long, isn’t it!
Not really the difference is that we and the rest of the planet ARE the result of natural selection or whatever you want to call it
and Global warming is just plain bull, fortified by huge grants for those who would try to prove it.
Don’t forget Lucy Jr.!...........................
You got turned on by an arthritic hominid?
That's a really old debunked strawman, but even so:

They ALL voted for The Zero in the last election?..............
Keeping in mind these “posts” of “facts” are simply meant to incite and cause flame wars, nothing more.
FR’s version of Art Bell and George Noory
anthropomorphic climate change?.............That’s a new one on me!..............
You never know what the Temple of Darwin might pay to make their failure go away ;o)
"Lucy" is said to be a human ancestor because human or near human footprints were found near her remains and are assumed to be 3M years old because of that fact, i.e. via circular reasoning. The truth of the matter is that the human footprints belonged to a human considerably less than 3M years ago and "Lucy" in all likelihood was that human's pet monkey.
Evolution is garbage science and as garbage science goes a spectacularly evil and dangerous variety, with two world wars and something like 200M - 300M dead bodies lying around to its credit. It's way past time evolutionism was gotten rid of.
My pleasure :o)
Excuse me for intervening in this debate, but, I can assure you that the above noted Democrats are alive and well in my neck of the woods!
yes I remember it well...Sermon on the mount I believe.

He writes for the Journal of Creation. Need he say more?
What do they have in common?
Capitalization does not suffice as proof.
