Of course, I disagree with the age assigned to “Arti”, but other than that, the article makes some excellent points on how this overturns the prevailing Temple of Darwin “wisdom” with respect to human evolution.

All the best—GGG

Men’s theories come and go like fashion trends; The Word of God hasn’t changed in four thousand years and never will.

Seems to me that you are making a much bigger deal of Ardi than the evolution crowd is.

You make a lot of stew from a single oyster.

Is that why I’m seeing Temple of Darwin television commercials advertising various upcoming specials on “Ardi” every single night of the week?

Due to your article I think you are aware of this theory, but others may not be, so if your interested in science and Creation Theory verses Evolution this series is a good starting point for your own investigation. Using science to prove the Bible right.

In the previous posting on Ardi (http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/news/2353588/posts?page=77#77)I mentioned that the line art drawing of the skeletal structure of the remains seemed inconsistent with a constant biped. The article notes that there are scientists examining the remains and are coming up with the same criticisms. The author had a valid discussion and should have stuck to that instead of some of her(?) sneering editorializing. She (?) is correct that the contrary interpretations are not being well reported in the media. As long as the scientific community itself is paying attention the media doesn’t matter that much. Scientists typically don’t rely on sensationalized headlines to guide their opinions.

....."Seems to me that you are making a much bigger deal"....

Oh brother! Ardi was just introduced as the "missing link" and you are already ragging on the ID's? He will supposedly rewrite history blah, blah, blah. Remember the "missing link" found a few months back that was a Lemur monkey"? They had a special program on National Geographic about the time they decided it was just an extinct Lemur monkey.

These "so called" scientists take a few broken bones and let a cartoon artist draw a picture of some ape looking creature with fur they don't even know if he had any, and the evo's get a woodie. Schools all across the country have to scrap their textbooks, and before they are even printed, there is a "new" discovery that will turn history on it's head. Evo had become the biggest scam in history. Lucy has been proven to be a scam, and they still talk about her like it was real. The bones were found scattered over a mile area and they can't even prove that it was from the same animal. Most of these "missing links" bones can fit in a shoe box and the evo's swear that they can rebuild a whole skeleton from a pig's tooth.

As far as GGG making a big deal, Re read the title of the piece.

"Artificially Reconstructed “Ardi” Overturns Prevailing Evolutionary Hypotheses of Human Evolution". "Overturn" is a pretty stiff word. I choose to concentrate on "Artificially Reconstructed".

[[Seems to me that you are making a much bigger deal of Ardi than the evolution crowd is.]]

Apparently you haven’t read the ‘stunning news’ in thousands of publications and blogs about Ardi? And our kids will be taught that Ardi was a ‘common ancestor’ DESPITE the FACT that massive digital ‘reconstruction’ had to happen in order to come up with a ‘common ancestor’-

But you watch- NatGeo, The History Channel, the Discovery channel- ALL channels that are watched by impressionable children, WILL NOT MENTION ANY of htose facts, and they WILL still tout Ardi as our ‘common ancestor’, and will undoubtedly invent an elaborate ‘life history’ of Ardi to show how we suppsoedly swung out hte trees, onto the ground, and began inventing space shuttles

The media DOES MATTER a great deal- many many many children wil lbe given a FALSE impression, and wil lgrow up thinking soemthign unscientific

Even one so thick as moi can see that Ardi though perhaps Ardent and willing to walk for sex (a lame reasoning) didn't have feet made for walking. Nor knuckles either despite the NBA length fingers and arms.
The question I have is why a perfectly good tree dwelling, sex finding, occasional hind leg walking animal would give up all that just to become an old bag of bones.
Supposedly we'll see Sunday as Ardi strides across the tube with the ease and pace of a politician headed for higher office.

“Of course, I disagree with the age assigned to “Ardi”, but other than that, the article makes some excellent points on how this overturns the prevailing Temple of Darwin “wisdom” with respect to human evolution.” GGG

Oh, quite so. Gazing over the Savanna Grass is looking for love in all the wrong places for Ardi and Friends, As she says it's a tree for me and thee and hopefully three. Now it's small teeth, home and honey instead of just hooking up for a while. No more red in tooth and claw or something like that.

After all the investment of Nat. Geo. in Madison Ave. yesterdays stale decafe Evoulutionary brew better be overturned, and now The Temple of Darwin can say,
“God created Adam from the dust, Well..we created Ardi from the dust, it just took us a little longer”.

We're not to pay any attention to the nay sayers who are really looking at the bones behind the curtains of hype. thanks for the heads up!
