Have you gone completely daffy, dreamer? The ICR News article never said that Ida represents an intermediate between the ape-human transition. The article pointed out that this bogus “find” was used to complete the primate line that supposedly connected humans to the rest of the animal kingdom. Indeed, the same author co-wrote an earlier ICR News article in which he stated that Ida is “currently being hailed as ‘our connection with the rest of all the mammals.’” Obviously, the ICR scientist is well aware that the evos were not trying to place Ida between apes and humans. Duh!
I didn't say that ICR said Ida represented an ape-human transitional, they don't even believe in transitional species.
I said that what ICR said about it being “hailed” as “proof” of human ape evolution is a lie.
Something that happened millions of years before an event cannot “prove” an event, or even give you evidence of what happened.
They wanted to lead the reader around by the nose by setting up a strawman, and you apparently applaud their masterful use of deception which can only prey upon the ignorant.... the target audience of Creationism.
Because the more you know, especially about science, the less likely you are to be a Creationist.
Thus they know and appeal to their target audience.
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.
