Ida Missed Her Link to Humans (science confirms yet another creationist prediction!)
ICR News ^ | September 15, 2009 | Brian Williams, M.S.

Posted on 09/15/2009 12:50:19 PM PDT by GodGunsGuts

This past May, a fossil nicknamed Ida was loudly heralded by the evolutionary scientific community as the long-sought-after “missing link” that supposedly proved ape-to-human evolution. Directly following the unveiling, ICR News reported reasons why Ida, in fact, linked nothing, being merely an extinct variety of lemur.[1]

ICR News also predicted what has now occurred with Ida’s popularity campaign, stating, “After further study, however, this claim will be quietly rescinded.”[2] Ida has been surreptitiously...

"Can you not prevail in a debate without your cheerleaders?"

Looks like Ira just admitted that GGG is prevailing.

Too bad he can't bring some of those absolutely wonderful counter-arguments that only exist over on fark.com.

You'd be toast fer shur GGG. LOL!

How cute...you changed Brian Thomas *MS's name to Brian Williams MS.

This past May, a fossil nicknamed Ida was loudly heralded by the evolutionary scientific community as the long-sought-after “missing link” that supposedly proved ape-to-human evolution.

This, Brian....IS A LIE. Ida is not provided as evidence of a missing link between apes and humans. Ida is claimed to be a ("a", not "THE") "missing link" from much further back in human evolution than any human-to-ape link. Cherry picking scientists and statements is so typical of you, Brian. Bet that scientists doesn't believe that Ida died 4,351 years ago.

Bwaaaaaaahahahahaha....you forgot to read your own "evidence"...

A BEAUTIFULLY preserved 47-million-year-old fossil from a German shale pit is the “missing link”, the earliest ancestor of all living monkeys, apes and people

How EXACTLY does that mean that "Ida is the missing link between apes and humans"? Speaky englis?

Hint: the ancseter OF ALL primates.....a link between "primates" and "not primates." Selective quoting....cute. Using the words of a reporter....super-cute. How about the words of THE ACTUAL RESEARCHERS?

“Riiiiight...now this is curious because I don’ t recall the part about scientists tripping all over themselves to correct said “media idiot”...”

—Just the day before this story was posted, there was another story posted complaining about the circus created by the countless interviews of scientists, and articles in science magazines, and the tv specials, websites, and book, etc etc... I guess all of that wasn’t enough to correct a single mistaken article (I think it was the New York Post)?

And will you call your bretherin to account for calling it “evoloserism”?

No. You only care when your own retarded ox gets gored.

Cretarded is also quite an accurate description as Creationism retards ones intellectual and theological progress to the 1850’s (or earlier in the case of our Geocentric FReepers).

Rather than being something that someone cannot help, it is a choice of willful ignorance.

The more one knows, especially about science, the less likely they are to be a Creationist.

Thus Creationism tailors their message to their target audience. Those who have willingly retarded their intellectual and theological progress... the Cretarded.

All this blather from the the creevs (rhymes with skeeves) and they have not provided ONE bit of SCIENTIFIC evidence that Ida is not a fossil that links the ancestors of lemurs with the rest of the simian line.

Of course if Brian Thomas* says it, it is true.

Someone post the creev flow chart and give #s to the straw men. That way they can save electrons. Instead of a long screed, they can post #s.

Example:” This is a lie because of 5,10, and 3”.

That would save us all a lot of time.

Ira where did you learn to bloviate such drivel?

Every word of your post is nonsense. There have been numerous standing offers to debate the evoliars going back into the ‘50s offering significant cash, and none have ever been taken.

When you have to stick to provable fact, the evos are just not there. They all depend on media propagandists rather than science to make their case.

“Personally I doubt you last more than 2 or 3 post as best without being exposed.

But go ahead and sign up, defend your position outside of this echo chamber without your cheerleaders.”

Say, Ira, are all your friends over at fark afraid to come over here and sign up?

Afraid they would wouldn't last more than 2 or 3 posts without being exposed?


Why do you keep insisting that GGG sign up on fark?

Perhaps the reason you refuse to post threads and address issues instead of engaging in theatrics is because you don't have all your cheerleaders from fark backing you up?


I guess your inability to convince GGG to sign up to fark just demonstrates that you have been a failure at baiting him for the purpose of smearing and banning.

Your cheerleaders at fark must be disappointed in you.


That reminds me, if fark is such a great place, what are you doing on FR? (besides being antagonistic, that is)


GGG, I think a representative of the luticole porcus posse has challenged you to a wrestling match ;-)

—Nat Geo claimed that Ida was an intermediate between apes and humans? Where?
