==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.’

If it were a transitional between a lemur and a monkey it would be of a species that was a common ancestor to all monkeys apes and humans; according to the theory of common descent.
Similarly, a fish to amphibian transitional would be a common ancestor to all amphibians and reptiles.
And a reptile to mammal transitional would be a common ancestor to all mammals.
A lemur to monkey transitional would be a common ancestor to all monkeys apes and humans.
A monkey to ape transitional would be a common ancestor to all apes and humans.
A ape to human transitional would be a common ancestor to all humans.
The scientific argument about Ida is over if it is indeed a lemur to monkey transitional.
It has NOTHING WHATSOEVER to do with the specifics (let alone “proof”) of ape to human evolution.
To represent the argument as being over ape to human evolution is to lie.
