leekim, your credibility is failing in the eyes of newcomers... you can't even get the quoting right and its becoming an eyesore. REMEMBER: PRESENTATION COUNTS OR DO THEY NOT TEACH THAT IN SCHOOL. would you go to a court room in a hippie shirt and swimtrunks? (i'm not gonna recieve much credibility either with my poor grammar and spelling and being a high school student)
anyways back to the subject: if you do some reaserch, you'll find that you need a marsh-type environment for fossils to form. rarely was Africa abundant with marshes. It was mostly a rain forest (unbelievable, but true. saw it on a documentary from my provincial station [we live in provinces, not states up here in Canada]). Many of the species of humanoids died out. the modern hom sap sap (herby refered to as HSS) is only a branch compared to the grand tree of the evolution. remember that evolution takes many paths, as Darwin proved on the Galpagos Islands with 4 very (very very very...) similar finches. >3 million years of qukaes, volcanic eruptions, etc. moves the ground alot, therefore fracturing and disentergrating many fossils. 'Lucy' was found with one side of her hip distorted because of some animal trampling on her remains and crushing the bone before fossilization (or something of the like).
something wierd i've noticed... creationists use this form of quoting:
"~~~~~~~~~"
-~~~~~~
evolutionists use the UBB form of quoting..
