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

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!

You mean you wouldn't shut down the entire field of research, given the opportunity?

[BlueDragon]

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

I didn't see the claim concerning "a herd of hippos". Now that you mention it though, why not? Hence the intensive reconstruction work. It's "science". Why are you such a science denier?

Now you've done it. Just wait. You'll get yours. The defenders of science^® will soon arrive to clack at you with their keyboards, to set the world once again aright...

Hey tpanther, did you get a load of this story? LOL!!!

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

Well, lets see:
If YOU use this topic to discount evolution but earlier use
the same topic’s premise as evolutionary eveidence...

Doesn’t that make you some kind of imbalanced lunatic?

[GodGunsGuts]

In both cases, I posted the articles to show what a bunch of class A morons the Temple of Darwin has become. But you must be sane to get the joke...otherwise the joke is on you.

I doubt you will have any memory of this, but your inability to comprehend the obvious is a clear sign that you made the ultimate sacrifice to become a Darwin-drone:

I seem to recall “Lucy” having a crushed pelvis reconstructed, twice. And those bones were strung around over a hillside.

Ardi looks like something designed by a committee, neither able to climb or walk with any ease. How would something like that evolve?

[GodGunsGuts]

It evolves in the minds of those who DESPERATELY believe Darwin's evo-religious creation myth.

I think it’s about time for another “ground breaking, paradigm changing, pushing the clock back” fossil find from China then. Something with feathers.

[GodGunsGuts]

LOL!...You are like a human divining rod!!!

[count-your-change]

I’d say something about a lightening rod but won’t as usually my humor comes out wrong. But I do think the competition is going to heat up in The Peoples Fossil Factory.

How very true.

The story gets better. From Nat Geo. in describing how the skull was “reconstructed”:

“Additional pieces were added from another skull, digitally rescaled to fit”.
(ngm.nationalgeographic.com/human-evolution/human-ancestor )

Ardi is a little old for a nip and tuck so she gets a facelift? With someone else’s face? Pieces from what or whose skull?

Well, the bones WERE trampled into the mud, but mixed with how many other animal bones, if any?

Inquiring minds and all that.

Thanks for the ping!

Just simple math:

Finding “oldest ancestor of humans (and chimps!)” = $$$$

Finding “really old ape” = $

Oh, but not that I would dare believe that someone so pure as a scientist would dare let something like money affect their perfect scientific judgment and reasoning skills.

15 years to put a jigsaw puzzle together.....definitely obsessive/compulsive and definitely NOT A.D.D........

"How far would you trust a “Rosetta stone” that was initially “crushed to smithereens” and “would turn to dust at a touch”?"

Fossils inherently beg the question by requiring a lot of interpretation.

Here, a lot of interpretation was incorporated into constructing a fossil that then begged the question by requiring a lot of further interpretation.

Might as well just make the whole thing up out of whole cloth...

After Ardi died, her remains apparently were trampled down into mud by LAND WHALES

[[and other passing herbivores.]]

and other passing DINO-OSTRICHES.

Saw an article by the AP this AM stating that Aldi is a ‘million years older’ than Lucy, pushing our kin-line back another million years’ or soemthign equally assinine- The article all but stated that evolution is a fact, and that Aldi is more ‘us’ than ‘chimp’ or ‘ape’- and all this from a bowl full of dust and tooth fragments? Amazing! Who can doubt such irrefutable evidence?

[[Might as well just make the whole thing up out of whole cloth]]

They did! Who can doubt? It’s as clear as the calcium dust in your bones- Computers ‘don’t lie’ dontchaknow?
