'Ida' an extinct primate - and that's all

The president of Answers in Genesis says an alleged new "missing link" found by scientists is nothing more than an extinct primate.





On Tuesday, scientists in New York unveiled what they described as the missing link in human evolution, a fossilized skeleton reportedly 47 million years old. They said the creature -- nicknamed "Ida" -- had four legs and a long tail, was about the size of a small cat, and had human-like nails instead of claws, along with a bone in her foot that is similar to humans.

1. That pic of Ken Ham makes him look like a missing link himself

5. Makes him look like what he is.

A waste of space and possibly the one argument against evolution - at least in his family.

19. Every picture I've ever seen of that idiot

imparts the distinct impression that he's a refugee extra from one of the Planet of the Apes films. Kind of ironic.

What a drongo he is.

3. Ah, but look at the poll

It's been Pharyngulated by P.Z. Myers evolutionary hordes. And the comment thread? Piled on.

And Ken Ham, the piglet f**ker, spouts his usual idiocy.

I'm thinking of changing my sig line to:

I was writing a whole cited response to let you know how wrong you are, but realized it would be useless. So, just for fun, I'll knowingly resort to an ad hominem attack, which is much more satisfying - You're an idiot - And ultimately, believing ridiculous things for ridiculous reasons will always rot your judgment and lead to swallowing tripe like creationism and (un)Intelligent Design.

9. Now that's a good one

I at times wonder, why did I sign up for their email alerts? Oh yeah, will be really fun when we find life on another world. Would be even better if that life was an ahem advanced civilization but hey, a few bacteria will be fun.

I mean Genesis will have a problem there.

4. Nothing more than a day 6 lemur

according to Mr. Know it All, who, according to wiki, has a ...

:puke:
Mally is a very, very submissive, supportive wife. She has always supported me five million percent. She has never in any way questioned my being away or what I'm doing or anything like that; she's never shown any jealousy in regard to the ministry's time taking my time or taking my time away from her. She's never ever shown anything like that, not even one little hint of that at all.

6. wow, the comments under that article are batshit insane

-- but further down, several intelligent beings have infiltrated with facts and logic, as well as some swipes at the cretins.

[GoneOffShore]

8. Mine was moderated out.

I'm sorry about that, but the others got through.

[Lasher]

7. Beliefs

[GoneOffShore]

11. If I could post graphics over there I'd post this

[nadinbrzezinski]

12. So Jesus rode a long neck into Jerusalem?

Now that explains the rest of the story...

:evilgrin:

Now that is a cute one

[Lasher]

17. Some fundies actually insist dinosaurs roamed the earth during Jesus' lifetime.

There are fundie 'museums' that present such things as fact.

[nadinbrzezinski]

21. Yep Mr. Ham runs one of them

Bill Mahrer had some fun at his expense

[QueenOfCalifornia]

10. You must be mistaken....

There is absolute proof that dinosaurs and people coexisted - see!!!!

[nadinbrzezinski]

13. Funny thing happened when the guy who produced that forgery

came clean not so long ago...ooh boy

Now where are the Lemur tracks, that's what I want to know.

[QueenOfCalifornia]

14. They have all kinds of kook-ball

b.s. "evidence" --- http://www.paleo.cc/paluxy/paluxy.htm

[nadinbrzezinski]

15. Yep I know

there are days I just go, time to sign out of the kookie email machine... but hey whenever we get news like this... they are fun

[Canuckistanian]

16. That was a hoax? Wow.

That was the creationists' ace-in-the-hole. How pathetic is that?

[rockymountaindem]

22. I've never seen that before

I wouldn't have even assumed they were dino and human footprints. What's the story behind that?

[nadinbrzezinski]

23. The dyno tracts arereal, as in real fosils

the human ones were put in there by him... as he put it, there was money to be made

[kimmylavin]

18. I gotta say...

I'm more inclined to go with the scientists than the creationists.
At least our guys have, you know, evidence.

Jeez, these people make my head hurt...

[nadinbrzezinski]

20. They are good for a laugh, the problem is that they are also the guys

who believe in revelations and the end of ahem days... and something about self fulfilling prophecies and nukes scares me.
