'Astonishing' skull unearthed in Africa

I didn't know where to put this post, but since there was some heated discussions about evolution I decided to post it here.

news.bbc.co.uk...

"It was found in the desert in Chad by an international team and is thought to be approximately seven million years old.

The newly discovered skull finally puts to rest any idea that there might be a single "missing link" between humans and chimpanzees, they say."

What are your thoughts?

cool.
yet another brick to beat creationists over the head with. excellent.


"EVOLVE DAMN YOU EVOLVE!!"

Lupe. Evolve? Isn't that evil satanic view? We were created from nothing by an invisible being that is male and once knocked a virgin. Then millions died because people said they were evil for not following him. Didn't you know that?

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! Can't keep a straight face after saying that.

More proof of ecolution. YEAH! Now time for truth to say satan put it there or it is a fake from a gorrilla from a zoo or something like that.

HEY ITS A PIC! I BELIEVE IT NOW!

Well, truth hasn't replied, so I guess satan didn't place it there to test the faith of others, and not an ape skull placed there.

James, please understand that i know god exist and nothing can
make me not. I have what is called faith in believing what you know is true
but cannot see.

I have seen miracles and events in my life that let me know god exist on top of
my faith.

Not one 'legit" missing link has ever been found by scientists. this is a
fact. there have been missing links that have been proven fake.

we should have millions of these links if evolutions was true, but we
have not one.

Macro evolution is impossible, this is declared by scientists. One form
cannot change completely into aother. this has never been proved.

My point is is that we are living in a time where falsehood and 'lies" abound and
with the mixture of sin and technology the devils working at an all time level.


peace.

Um, we have this, Lucy, Astropiculis(nc how to spell) and so forth. Reason we don't have all these fossils, is because you need right condition to form one. Be frozen, die in a river and be buried in the sediment before decomposers eat the body, and other ways. But, very few people died like that, same with Dinosaurs.

Out of billions of dino's, we only found a few. Because they didn't die in the right way. You need right conditions. Of course, god didn't give them right conditions cause they giant lizards and were to big to get on the Ark. Anyways, to science and proven facts, not a book written by humans.

As said, need right conditions. Even then, a fossil could be found, but if one handles it wrong, could very easily be destroyed. Also, some fossis have turned to oil and other forms of natrual resources. Or, you have to go a few hundred feet down to get one due to a shift in the Earth that dropped a few tons of dirt from the upper lvl of dirt. And you have regions like some parts of Africa that are hard to dig in due to weather or the fact all the little Africans have machine guns and being led by a dictator.

Anyways, dino's giant lizards, Lucy, this skull, others all fakes to test people's faith, so on and so on. HAHAHAHAHA!

Truth despite your contention that some evil empire looms in the future (and that is all it really is, a faith or belief you have). A discovery has been made, which relates human life to an ancestor. Which does not fit into what you think is real.

One Genus can change into another species (despite your generalizations) and that has been proven. I can only say that it is true that falsehoods and lies abound today (as they have existed for a very long time, to say the very least 1500 years). One form can change into another given millions of years. And every indication exist that 25 generations on earth, for all life does not make any sense. And to be very honest proof of what you state, would be as easy to find as evidence of the existence of Peter pan.


You talk about devils, but devils exist only in your system of belief. These devils are as important a part of your society as the very angels you feel should be respected. As a result respect (in your perspective) plays out as a double edged sword of which fear is a first cousin. You fail to see that what is known today, was known 1500 years ago and was manipulated. By the very same churches, which in the first chapters of revelations are called false.

Well truth, why weren't the dinos on the Ark? You say they to big, but only about 10% were large. Rest were ten feet and under. Were those 90% to large to get on the Ark?

And also, oil takes millions of years to form, but you say we been here for only 6,000, how is oil here? Is it a fake? So the gas in my truck isn't actually made from oil? So it isn't real fuel and I can't drive my truck without fuel. But I do.

If I could call you a moron without being yelled at I would. But since I can't call you a moron without trouble, I won't.

Also, where did the Truth go? You decided to stop useing that name?

Well, no one has answered the dinos to big to get on Ark, how oil here, and other questions that prove Bible wrong. Sure, people like Thomas Crowne don't believe that the world is 6,000 years old, but others do. So, how you explain all this science and these facts that prove Bible wrong, and the priest dude who said Earth 6,000 years old?

The big flood is a myth in every religon. Greeks/Romans had one. Zues/Jupiter and Hermes/Mercury went around to peoples houses looking for shelter and food while being dressed as beggars. Only an old couple accepted them, so they the only ones spared in a massive flood that killed the unkind.

Bible has Ark.

Indians(not Native Americans, not native since from Asia, and Americans the Europeans that came over and killed them) have one where, from what I read, a rain dance worked a little to well. So well in fact the god of the rains caused it to rain alot. To much. A major flood where only a few were saved from disaster by another god.

Hindu get punished and a flood comes and kills everyone except for a few.

In other words, this story gets around. Just like Megan, right Shadow?

it looks like a sea monkey

if this proves evolution (which in my opinion doesnt) then its a pretty sorry case.
it takes more faith to believe we came from nothing then believing we came from God.

You have it backwards, we came from nothing with god, we came from animals by evolution with evolution. Learn your facts.

What is this whole "science = satanism" horse#?

Seti, you do know that religious liars and propagandists have been saying this nonsense for thousands of years.
Every effort to be rational, to think scientifically, to discover or publish a new truth is always portrait in bad colours by religious groups. All churches always opposed and persecuted science.
They even made up bull# stories whereas scientist who isn't fully human until he has a religious insight and recognizes "the higher powers� and always say "there are things man should leave alone".
yeah right, do people a favour, spare us this religious garbage will you

Moron, read it. I was making fun of truth. Truth believes all science evil, and I was being sarcastic in copying him. So, I never ruly said it, and you would have seen me laugh and say I couldn't keep a straight face if you read it in its entirity(sp?)

People like truth just rub me the wrong way.Although I have little tolerance for religion,I do know plenty of Christian's who belive God created through evolution.That his intent was to let the world evolve at certain pace.It seems logical that if you to throw all the different forms of life on the earth at one time,you would have nothing but chaos.Who's going to live where,and who is going to eat what.That all takes time to learn how to do.

It's just ashame people like truth give christians a bad name.Some of them are capable of thinking outside of the Bible.

Some Christians can think outside the Bible. And I will explain before Truth condems me.... God created the world (in my opinion this is true), He then placed Adam & Eve on it, in a very small section called The Garden of Eden. Jump forward a bit, when Cain killed Able he was bannished. He was worried about being killed, God marked him so no one would kill him. Cain also had a family. This leads me to believe the world was populated by other than God's children (Adam & Eve). Now I'm just throwing this out there for speculation. It is not ment to try to convert you hardcore atheist. If God then wanted Noha to save his creation's, He would not want deno the dino on the ark, would He?
We also know that Adam & Eve had other children. These children had to marry someone.
Why does there always have to be a right or wrong, in this argument between theology and science? I believe God put his children in a garden in a small part of this world. I don't believe all sapian's were God's chosen. I know according to Genisis, the followers of Satan ( fallen angles) did take human women, resulting in offspring of giants.
God requires you as an individual to choose Him. He requires your decision to be based on faith. It is arrogance on the part of man to think He should prove His existence. His guidance, and his laws (Bible) were written for his people in the begining. It wasn't till Christ came that the Gentiles & Pagans were ministered to. Then they were given the same choice. I for one do not believe I was descended from a mass of goo. On the other hand I know of people that I am equally sure were. That is my take on it. No need for nastiness from the non-believers, I'm not pushing my religion. Just giving a different point of view. It does seem funny to me that the atheist among us are normally more brutal in there arguments. Maybe that is something for Sigmund Freud.

all right Ive had enough with all you people bashing religion!!! I believe in God and all that good stuff and I STILL KNOW THAT THERE IS SUCH THING AS EVOLUTION!!! You people seem to throw every single religous person into 1 group and it is just kind of anoying, yes I understand that there are alot of crazy 'bible thumpers' out there that ruin the name for the rest of us. But by throwing us all into the same group is like saying "Every black person is a criminal" and this is simply far from the truth.

Okay im sorry for all that jabber I just spewed out but as a religous person it just makes me kinda mad reading all this religion bashing. I have a new plan: dont bash the religion but bash the extremists that ruin its name for us.

7 Million years old huh.....And does "Crazies" in the Alien thread think we were brought to Earth By aliens! HA!

[edit on 24-9-2004 by RATT]

HEY ITS A PIC! I BELIEVE IT NOW!

But if they told you it was a picture of an alien skull, wouldn't you naturally doubt it?

How do we know this is not a hoax?
