Bones of “Ardi,” New Human Evolution Fossil, “Crushed Nearly to Smithereens” (LOL!!!)

Indeed, looking at the evidence, different paleoanthropologists may have different interpretations of how Ardi moved or what she reveals about the last common ancestor of humans and chimps.

Yes, this thing doesn't exactly belong in the front hall of the house of Darwin. Probably goes without saying it can't yield any DNA.

Perhaps scientific discoveries are the Creator’s way of applauding our curiosity and maintaining our sense of wonder. We should never lose appreciation for our God given senses which serve to remind us that we were made in His image.

He has blessed us in so many ways - we should not be afraid to consider that perhaps we have not known everything from - or of, the beginning, but that our knowledge is evolving..on His time-table.

The reconstruction was, perhaps, imaginative.

All this hype for a crushed fossil that they think may have been trampled by a herd of hippos?...PLLEEEAAAAASEE!!!!

Is there no end to the lengths the evos will go to destroy their own credibility?

[allmost]

I read an article that said it took them over six years to digitally reconstruct just the skull. With pieces that mangled and minute the end conclusion is inherently precarious.

Perfectly said. Thank you.

[TruthConquers]

Yep, that is pretty pathetic.

[LearsFool]

Fake, but true.

"Tim [White] showed me pictures of the pelvis in the ground, and it looked like an Irish stew," says Walker.

-----------------------------------------------------

"And a fine stew it was... with a drop or two of potcheen, life was grand back then."

[Natural Law]

So what is your point? That the bones are not from a now extinct hominid, that they are not 4.4 million years old, that the reconstruction techniques are not valid, or simply that the extrapolation to any direct ancestral relationship to modern humans is erroneous?

[JudgemAll]

The only missing link is in liberals’ denial. Pervs have attemtped to copulate with cool monkeys in the past and liberals have apparently been the result . This is a much more accurate version of the ancestry story mania of today.

[HiTech RedNeck]

The reconstruction would have to be painfully subjective.

[GodGunsGuts]

Are you defending this find? It has embarrassment written all over it. But hey, if the evos want to push a fossil that was in such bad shape that they had to digitally reconstruct it, who am I to stand in their way...LOL!

Ask the Creator about these things. Don't be afraid. It may take a while, you will get an answer.

[SWAMPSNIPER]

A forensic reconstruction!

[GeronL]

Didn’t you see that news article?? We didn’t come from apes, they came from us....

[Natural Law]

"Are you defending this find?"

Which aspect of it? This could have been the "dust of the ground" that God breathed life into.....

[Nosterrex]

Don’t despair, friends. A new “find” that revolutionizes our understand of human ancestry occurs about every ten years.

[Dr. Bogus Pachysandra]

Were not some of the Dead Sea Scrolls reconstructed using digital techniques? My impression was that it was easier to scan the fragments, and let the computer match up the pieces. Also, that method was less likely to cause damage due to repeated handling of the fragments.
