Well PRAISE THE LORD! I’m converted to creationism!
Creation is clearly true, because here I am, at my desk at 9.15am GMT, and here is a thread that has sprung into existence fully formed. It wasn’t here last night, so it must have. (Mind you, I suppose that means the creator is Zeus... though I see little evidence of the goddess of wisdom having recently visited Mike.)
Was there actually a question in here somewhere? Can’t see anything useful to get my teeth into. Mind if I get specific? Thank you, I will.
Okay Mike, you have trouble with the line of skulls pic. Righty-ho, maybe we’ll come back to that. But for now, please can you tell me whether the fossil known as KNM-WT 15000 is human, or ape?
Here’s all of it:
And here’s its skull:
(Just for comparison, here’s a modern human skull...)
(Incidentally, finding a good lateral pic of a modern skull has been a bugger. Does anyone know of anything better than this one?)
Well Mike? Human or ape?
TTFN, DT

Nice try at avoiding MY questions and asking your own.
I, personally, have not responded because (a) others have already covered the matters -- were you surveying a range of answers or something? -- and (b) in some cases I’ve no idea what you were on about.
Perhaps you could expand on this 'Moses and geology' business?
And perhaps you could explain what this 'jigsaw phenomenon' is supposed to be? You make much of it, but I sense you don’t really know what it is. That’s okay, neither do I, I’ve never heard of it. Is it perhaps a variation on mosaic evolution? If so, what about that troubles you?
As for the 'layers' it was simply 'humour' intended, however I think there's a translation when it reaches you guys -cos people seem to have taken it to heart!
Well again personally, I got it. Which is why I have never mentioned it.
Well, this is nothing to do with my question.
Which was...?
I don't know what the chap is, that's not even my point.
Nope, it's mine. I don't yet know what your point is, so I can’t answer yours. But your answer to my point is that you don't know whether the fossil above is human or ape... is that correct?
KNM-WT 15000 is what you call him, that's fine, we can even give him a christian name.
His first name -- you can't really call it a christian name -- is Turkana. Surname Boy. He's kind of a wild young Turk.
I'll even admitt , or let you show us the differences. Infact your photo is much better than 'a line of'. As it works off of one subject. So go ahead , I'll listen.
First, just to check:
Q: Ape or human?
A: Don't know.
Yes?
TTFN, DT
