I took them as an indicator of ignorance. It just goes to show.There are those who have and those who will, Dr "Ignorance".

I'm sure you are. I just couldn't figure out why Eaker posted that photo right then. And - I'm just jealous that I missed the chili cookoff.

I don't due platitudes; I simply made a statement concerning the theory of evolution being unable to pass the test of the scientific method. My only issue is that, to date, no one can edify with a theory of evolution that does pass the test of the scientific method. You better show me where it has been documented and peer reviewed that it does NOT. But, if you must:
Is Evolution Science, and What Does 'Science' Mean?
As you can see, TToE passes EVERY possible definion of science and uses the scientific method.
Don't bring a moped to a car fight.

I shouldn't have said "read". I am sure you can read, but comprehension is a different story altogether.
To: WhiteKnight
The term is used to describe a situation wherein someone appears to be inappropriately belligerent or bellicose relative to the discussion at hand. It can apply to men or women.
Now, if you were in west Texas, it would go something like "Sugar, what have you got your panties in a knot over?" I'm sure there are other regionalisms that would describe this situation - these are just two that I would use.

The evidence is not definitive, but what evidence there is points toward no interbreeding. There is certainly enough evidence to declare that the headline of this article is false. By all appearances, we did not sleep with Neanderthals (even if we did). It is not 'appearances' that makes people such as this lady imagine that we did; it is nothing but merely their fantasies about how Paleolithic hominid populations in Europe 'must' have behaved..

Please go back and re-read your post #85. "may be" is right there where you copied from my previous post. As that is the only part of my post you refered to, it seemed reasonable to assume that is what you were calling blatant. If you are refering to any other part of the post you should have indicated so. I stand by what I posted about the theory of evolution.

Would you want to go to sleep beside some incomprehensible wild-eyed burly ape-woman scheming how to bash your head in with a rock for all you know? Here we all are, discussing a very intruiging subject.
And you want to drag up my wild youth!

In order for the progeny to end up in human communities, then what you almost certainly have to have human women sleep with Neanderthal men. If what you have is human men ravishing Neanderthal women, the progeny are gonna end up back over in the Neanderthal community, and needless to mention all those went dead. There is a long history of men taking women prisoner as sex slaves. The only question would be if it was possible to make Neanderthal women submit to such over the long term

What has gotten your knickers into such a twist? Probably this .
A lot of "Genesis is literal" creationists and IDers are not taking the Kansas Board of Education election results well.

Please go back and re-read your post #85. "may be" is right there where you copied from my previous post. Oh -- you were talking about your reference to ME (I believe you used "might be"). Here I thought you wanted to talk about the subject of your post, not silly name-calling. Had I realized your orientation, I would have been clearer on what I am saying.
I stand by what I posted about the theory of evolution.
Despite the fact I have provided a dead-bang direct refutation. Pretty standard for people like you.

The DNA studies pretty much resolved the mystery.
There have been a couple of mtDNA studies; the first one used fewer than 400 base pairs -- assumed to be from the ancient sample and not from, say, bacteria -- out of a presumed 16,000+, and used that data to claim, rather grandiosely, that the divergence was too great. It was GIGO. And mtDNA studies can't tell whether two people can interbreed, because mtDNA has nothing to do with interbreeding.
