Okay, point taken. I’ll be interested to see if they find any more fossils in that 400,000 year span and see any development of that feature in the hand.

Huh?

Anyway, a 1.4 million-year-old fossil will never close the black-hole-size gap in the credibility of "evolution" (Darwin's "The Origins of the Species").

You gotta “hand” it to those guys though.
Quite an imagination.

From one pig tooth, they created a whole “Nebraska family”, what they looked like, how they dressed, where they lived, etc.

Thank you for making my point.

It's a miniature version of the bone from the start of 2001.

You’re welcome. Guess I didn’t understand your “Nonsense” reply to my “credibility” answer.

Darwin’s seminal work is not gospel, it’s framework on which over 100 years of additional knowledge and evidence has been built and confirmed. Darwin was one of the first to observe and document the process, much, much more has been added to it since.

Yes, and their cartoonists are very convincing to the Leftists.

Yes, with no fanfare. Like the one column-inch in National Geographic for their cover story on the dino-bird, which turned out to be a total fraud.

Has the same ring to it as the assertions made for what passes as “Climate Science” these days.

Can you spot all of the hidden obvious presuppositions, assumptions and hypotheses in the article?

It is. It’s how science is supposed to work.

It should; evolution and global warming are the two great secular religions. Scientists are coming to understand that Darwin was out to lunch, but those who are desperate to explain away creation without bringing God into it will never give it up.

Media hype and public awareness notwithstanding, it still will happen when and if new evidence is discovered. It’s how it’s designed to work.

“evolution and global warming are the two great secular religions”

Evolutionists are only required to tithe 5% though, so it’s an economic decision.

Where did they find this bone? Behind a KFC?

Scatter (not bury) a dozen dead chickens in differing terrain around your vicinity with location coordinates noted and come back after a year (leave alone millions) to count how many have skeletal remains identifiably located. This alone will show you how rare an occurrence it is to have bones merely fossilise.

I cite Darwin's book to clarify what I mean by "evolution" (not evolving traits within an animal group (that happens all the time) but the ORIGIN of ALL animal groups requiring transference between major animal groups, of which there is no evidence).

Contrast that with the common sense and overwhelming evidence of intelligent design. People believe myths in the face of contrary evidence way beyond a reasonable doubt because they think it in their best interests to do so.
