This is a spin-off of thread "
The Inerrancy of the Bible". At
message 199 I posted:

Oh Tom, come on! You mean to tell us that you look at Lucy and all you see is a waste of tax dollars and secular humanism? You don't see a single clue of anything deeper than that? You expect people to take you seriously?
Your "innocent children" need to learn a bit of sober science, whether you want to learn anything yourself or not. You have NO RIGHT to deny innocent children a decent education.
Tom responded:

berberry, How is putting human hand of a chimp, educating children. If you want to educate the children put chimp hands on chimps. They are lying to the children. kjv Genesis 1:27 says were created in the image of God. When you put human hands on a chimp fossil, your lying to the children, its not sober science. Its an outright lie!
P.S. These museum curators should be promoting accurate representations of these chimps. If they refuse to, federal funding should be cut.
There have been several other substantive posts on this off-topic; I'd like to continue the discussion here. Perhaps 'Is It Science?' would be the appropriate place.
EDIT in response to AdminSylas: Tom has implied (apparently after reading Kent Hovind) that Lucy is a hoax designed to subvert innocent children into "secular humanism". The implication was regarded as off-topic by AdminPhat in the original thread. I wanted to explore Tom's assertion, but given the opposition to doing so in situ I proposed this new topic. If the admins wish to allow the discussion to continue in the other thread then this new one will be obviated and should be closed.
