Human Origins and Evolution

Why are there no human apes alive today?

Message 657

I've been glancing at this thread from a distance. Suspensions, insults, etc etc. With all that going on (to a lesser degree now) DBlevins lays out a comment to Mazzy that is understandable, insult free, detailed, to the point and easy to grasp, no matter what side you're on.

If your on the other side (like myself who's a Creationist)) this post makes it very clear where the "Evolutionist" is coming from, if anything. It deserves some recognition IMO.

I never meant to say that the Conservatives are generally stupid. I meant to say that stupid people are generally Conservative. I believe that is so obviously and universally admitted a principle that I hardly think any gentleman will deny it.

Caught Mazzy in a self-contradiction worthy of a Perry Mason episode (in reverse). It's all there, fully documented for the world to see.

The denouement:

What changed? Clearly the fossil stayed the same ... it seems that we have found the perfect intermediate form, in that the same creationist, within the space of a few days, cannot agree with himself on whether it is within the range of modern human skulls or not human at all.

Hilarious!

Dr A would get my vote for the office of prosecutor for any state based on this post alone. Sure he would do a better and more honest job than some, or even many.

Edited by anglagard, : Put some bones on this nomination (oops, just saw Dr A did that already in his next post).

We may be seeing Mazzy has not yet responded at the bottom of that post for a while.

Biological Evolution

Transitional forms in existence today

Message 26

A simple yet effective demonstration showing the nature of transitional forms.

Since Evolution is only ~90% correct it should be thrown out and replaced by Creation which has even a lower % of correctness. W T Young, 2008
