Crushed Lemur Monkey is an Insult to the Evolution Hoax
American Daily Review ^ | 05/20/09 | Yomin Postelnik

Posted on 05/20/2009 12:19:27 PM PDT by Yomin Postelnik

In the latest act of media hyped pseudo-science, aka liberal/conventional science, the discovery of the crushed and flattened fossil of a lemur monkey, that while alive had a shattered left wrist, is being touted as the needed “proof” of Darwinian theory.

For the first time, all scientists interviewed freely admit that the theory of evolution had gaping holes in it. They just claim that all of the answers lie in the packaged, crush fossil that spent the last 20 years hanging on someone’s wall. In other words, they admit that until yesterday, anyone who claimed that there was anything close to conclusive proof of evolutionary was wrong, despite having sold that line for decades. The extent of the absurdity of their new “proof” will be outlined below.

The media, which specializes in hyping the ordinary, went as far as to call this spectacle the possible eighth wonder of the world. These are the same crowd that revels in referring to every new president (regardless of party) as the next possible Lincoln or FDR, every foreign leader the next possible Churchill and every Vice President of the United States…. Well, I guess there are some things that even today’s media cannot hype.

Real quick now ~ God created the universe. He probably created many more of them. He made this one so that life leaps unbidden from the dust of the Earth.

I will contribute. However, I look for aggressive forcing of this kind of discussion off of News/Activism. These people are trolls in the worst sense...here on a mission to pollute the intellectual climate.

I missed that one, but I see they pulled off both your legs and now have them stuffed in their “pulled leg” box.

“Who said living things (or anything) appear out of nowhere?”

If you can believe that God (Perfection Personified, if you will) came out of nowhere, I really don’t think it’s more of a stretch to imagine that an inert blob came out of nowhere and eventually evolved into the universe (and all its living critters) we see today. Science is getting much closer to discovering the relatively simple processes by which life began:

Evolution is a lot more viable than the belief that living things appear magically out of nowhere.

Currently, there is little difference between the two schools of thought, unless evolutionists can propose a plausible mechanism for evolution, while also explaining the fact that the fossil record overwhelmingly demonstrates stasis in species.

If you want to believe that species appear by some magical evolutionary process, be my guest. But don't claim that your belief is anything other than materialist dogma.

The fact is, the current scientific evidence points nowhere and everywhere. The debate regarding human origins is wide open.

I would do it again, if some of the kooks were moderated better. There is value in this site that’s being wasted, IMHO.

Have a good day! I’m trying to get out at 5. Catch you tomorrow.

You mean this creature is not our ancestor?

It looks like a precursor to the modern day liberal.

Depends on how you define "transitional". One definition says that all individuals representative of the species, genus or class are, in fact, "transitional". I think you may be referring to the "transitional" that shows apelike and humanlike characteristics and then "splits off".

That sort of thing rarely occurs ~ one theory is that as a species splits individuals in each of the nascent subspecies keep breeding back into the other subspecies.

When it comes to humans that is entirely believable, and when we are speaking of the apes, you can go to the zoo and see truly incredible feats (if they let them get away with it), and the monkeys? I'm not even going to talk about the monkeys.

Definitely "breeding back" is the least of our concerns! And this should be a "family thread" anyway or we could show you pictures!

There, $50. I feel a little better. Looking forward to dropping $1K in the kitty sometime.

Now all you creationist, geocentrist, creationist babboons — proof that some humans never evolved out of monkeydom — begone!

Here’s a simple question that is bothering me.

If we find fossils of other animals, how come we never find fossils of man? Are we fossil immune?

Fossils are rare in the first place. Doesn’t matter what species you are looking for.

“Crushed Lemur Monkey is an Insult to the Evolution Hoax”

Check for tire tracks. Maybe it was crushed by an SUV.

Naw, naw, it's a game. Don't you remember back in debate in highschool (or college) where you'd play the Leftwingtard so you could sound like a smartmouth, and next thing you know you had the dormitory hillbilly in there trying to beat you up?

That game is played here.

Now, go in peace and grow new legs.

Fossils are not rare. They are quite plentiful in many locations. When I was a kid, our entire stone wall was built with rocks littered with fossils of trilobites and other prehistoric animals.

We find fossils of all sorts of things all over the earth, but I can't seem to recall ever finding a chimp or a man or an elephant or a manatee, a cat, a cow, a gorilla, a trout, a goat, a sheep or much of any animal not extinct.

Is there a non-fossilizing gene or are the fossils just more ancient than man?

Your link says they are 4 million years old and we know that can’t be true so the Wiki is clearly in error, right?

There’s no homo sapien fossil listed there as 4 million years old.
