I still think Joe Biden is the missing link

"Scientists and media outlets around the world are praising 'Ida' "

I caught the media part, but what scientist has had any part in this?

If it’s all media hype, how are you going to complain about the evil scientists?

“I still think Joe Biden is the missing link”

Nope... Donald Trumps’ hair is.

“If it’s all media hype, how are you going to complain about the evil scientists?”

For the second day in a row, I agree with you... this is getting a little annoying.

I was thinking the same thing here. It’s hard to have a rallyying cry around something that was never much of one in the first place... you guys have much stronger arguments for your side when the proof is more vague. This was obvious hype from the get-go. A neat little trinket; a fine piece of artwork, even a great little bit of history... but hype nonetheless.

One article I read had a quote saying this was a ‘great-great-grandaunt’ rather than a ‘great-great-grandmother.’ So they are already admitting it is not an actual transition form despite the sensationalized headlines. The trunk of the evolutionary tree is perpetually missing.

Reinforcement for this position

It is only a kangaroo skeleton, look at it closley.

The scientists don’t even agree on it being a “missing link”, so you can’t even get a good conspiracy theory going out of it.

From what I gather, there are some scientists pushing the idea the Ida is the “missing link.” But many are skeptical, and some of the scientists who aree involved in the team that is studying Ida have complained that they felt pressured by the media and Ida’s handlers to call it the missing link. As usual, this thing will blow up in their faces.

Thanks, I like AiG’s link because it goes into a bit more depth.

[GodGunsGuts]

LOL...You can see why guys like him confuse the Evos!

[GodGunsGuts]

Excellent point! Needless to say, this so-called missing link will blow up in their faces just like all the others.
