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.
==Listen up again gutless.
Listen up even closer, Mr. Darwin-drone.
==I didn’t say that ICR said Ida represented an ape-human transitional, they don’t even believe in transitional species.
I didn’t say that, Mr. Darwin-drone. I said that ICR never claimed that the evos believe that. Big difference. But I can see how you evo-anger over the Temple of Darwin being exposed might cause you to jump the gun.
==I said that what ICR said about it being “hailed” as “proof” of human ape evolution is a lie.
LOL! OK, dreamer...see if you can glean what your fellow Temple of Darwin co-religionists are trying to say in the following:
‘It shows characteristics from the very primitive non-human evolutionary line (prosimians, such as lemurs), but is more related to the human evolutionary line (anthropoids, such as monkeys, apes and humans), said Norwegian paleontologist Jørn Hurum of University of Oslo Natural History Museum. However, she is not really an anthropoid either, he said.
The fossil, called Darwinius masillae and said to be a female, provides the most complete understanding of the paleobiology of any primate so far discovered from the Eocene Epoch, Hurum said. An analysis of the fossil mammal is detailed today in the journal PLoS ONE.
“This is the first link to all humans ... truly a fossil that links world heritage,” Hurum said.’

Can you feel the religious fervor?! Can you sense that the Temple of Darwin was right on the verge of religious revival?! LOLOLOL!!!!!
National Geographic:
“This is the first link to all humans,” Hurum, of the Natural History Museum in Oslo, Norway, said in a statement. Ida represents “the closest thing we can get to a direct ancestor.”
Ida, properly known as Darwinius masillae, has a unique anatomy. The lemur-like skeleton features primate-like characteristics, including grasping hands, opposable thumbs, clawless digits with nails, and relatively short limbs.
“This specimen looks like a really early fossil monkey that belongs to the group that includes us,” said Brian Richmond, a biological anthropologist at George Washington University in Washington, D.C., who was not involved in the study, published this week in the journal PLoS ONE.
