Drudge Retort: Red Meat for Yellow Dogs

The missing link has been found! Or so the scientists will tell you once again. They have this monkey that they claim is 45 million years old. Without getting into the creation debate all over again, I just want to say, really 45 million years huh? They had monkeys back then?

The monkey was found with his underwear pulled up to his armpits and his pants were around his ankles yet he was still able to walk upright this has to be the missing link...

wonder what we'll be in ANOTHER 45 million years?


Scientists respond to Ida hype and actual paper put forth:

scienceblogs.com

some of us will have evolved, you will be extinct.

it's good to see you THINK you can better yourself.

This article is like magic more than science.

Irony alert!

A guy without the slightest interest in reading about the case accuses science of being the myth?

Implying on some level that his creationist mythos is reality?

Lawl!

The fact is, this is how Darwinian science goes. They intimidate and shout and because they are "scientists" and we are rubes therefore, whatever they say must be true.

*facepalm*

Yes, because everybody knows all of the scientific disciplines are predicated on who can intimidate and shout louder!/snark>

This guy is so wrong on so many levels that it's impossible to take him remotely seriously even fer a nanosecond.

There are none so blind as those who do not wish to see.

Be Well.

wonder what we'll be in ANOTHER 45 million years?

Dead.

I thought you'd be predicting the rapture before then.

better than BELIEVING you cant.

"The bottom line is that the hypothesis that Darwinius is closer to anthropoids than tarsiers or omomyids does not have strong support. Even though the authors of the paper constructed a very simple cladogram they did not undertake a full, rigorous cladistic analysis to support their claims. I am baffled as to how they could stress the significance of this fossil without undertaking the requisite research to support their hypothesis.

Is Darwinius important to understanding primate evolution? Of course! It is an exceptionally preserved specimen that could do much to aid our understanding of adapid evolution and paleobiology. The grand claims about it being our ancestor, though, can not be upheld as true. The researchers simply did not do the work to support their case, and even if their language was more reserved in the technical paper they have gone hand-in-hand with the History Channel to create an aura of sensationalism around the fossil. I hardly think this is a responsible way to conduct or communicate science, flooding the media with poorly supported claims, but as reported in the New York Times some of this paper's authors care more about marketing than about good science."

From the above link

This guy writes "as if" any amount of evidence could ever be presented that would change his mind.
Nothing would ever convince some folks that their religious belief is a myth. Happily they are an ever diminishing minority. The sooner they are extinct the better.

Doesn't this poor guy know..
there's no reason to defend himself or attack this thing that was found. After all, the earth is only 4000 years old, right?

I thought the Earth was only 6 hundred years old.....

Where??? Did you write redneckville an email like he claims?

"it is written."

Many things have been written. The vast majority of them are not true. It's called fiction.

"The Pet Goat" was also written.

"wonder what we'll be in ANOTHER 45 million years?"

Nancy is kidding. Humanity would be lucky to get 45 more years. herm

"Many things have been written. The vast majority of them are not true. It's called fiction."

Like in that big book with a few truths about which they then invoke the biggest lie of them all: that gawd wrote it. herm

wonder what we'll be in ANOTHER 45 million years?

At the rate things are going, all we will be is mildly radioactive dust in the wind...

"The sooner they're (religous people) extinct the better..."

"Humanity is not likely to get more than another 45 years..."

Strange people.

one day the wheat WILL be separated from the chaff. it is written.


yep strange people.

Soooo.......May 21, 2011, huh?

Coelacanth.

This guy demolishes his own point of view with this infantile crap and manages to make fundies look even more retarded, and that is no mean feat.

Still waiting for Christians to prove that the Bible is the word of god and not a collection of myths and legends.

And the atheist, the agnostic, the scoffer and everyone else opposed to God will realize their dream of not having to be around the Christian.

"12 And I saw the dead, small and great, standing before God,and books were opened. And another book was opened, which is the Book of Life. And the dead were judged according to their works, by the things which were written in the books. 13 The sea gave up the dead who were in it, and Death and Hades delivered up the dead who were in them. And they were judged, each one according to his works. 14 Then Death and Hades were cast into the lake of fire. This is the second death. 15 And anyone not found written in the Book of Life was cast into the lake of fire." Revelation 20
