The truth about the matter is that NO ONE EFFING KNOWS how we really came to be and anyone who pretends to know is friggin retarded. We can only guess and to spread hate and strife in the name of God AND/OR Science is pointless and, quite honestly, stupid. The only way we will know the true origins/meanings of the universe is to learn to love each other and to get along...which I NEVER see happening... |

its not even a full skeleton they only found certain parts of it and made an assumption on its appearance. plus what about the discovery of a hammer found in a rock dated 140 million years old (when humans were not suppose to be alive). or the 65 million year old dinosaur mummy found with fossilized soft tissue like skin, ligaments, and tendons (which should not be possible). and when science is confronted with these things they either deny its authenticity or they come up with a once in a million scenario of how it might be possible for that to have happened. they are not willing to consider the fact that they are wrong. to consider that maybe they got carbon dating wrong( which is based on the fact that the amount of carbon 14 in the atmosphere has never changed). or consider the reason they cant find the missing link (which is the fossil of the transition from sea to land) is because it does not exist. |

My whole point is I'm tired of people thinking that science is 100% proven. It is not and it requires just as much faith as religion. so stop thinking that your right and those that choose to believe in god are wrong. |

you people can argue all you want. science will always win. religion would do well to work WITH it rather than against it. |

all religious people out there, you all are so awesomely wrong that you all become offended when someone states something that is obviously correct, chill out just because someone has a different opinion doesn't mean you have to hate them.to all atheists out there, religion although with its many faults and cons. come many positives, religion of all sorts bring happiness and hope in times when there isnt any, chill out just because someone has a different opinion doesnt mean you have to hate them. |

"Religion claims absolutely knowledge and truth. Science only claims the PURSUIT of knowledge and truth. That pursuit, of course, involves checks and balances, corrections, and disputes. Science is always rediscovering and finding anew.And THAT is the difference between science and religion." Unless the religious are willing to weigh the evidence and try to understand their faith in light of science, as opposed to forcing their faith onto science. |

"You demonstrate your ignorance again. Scientists are not searching for "the missing link" because they don't think there is "the missing link". It's an over-simplification for use in the media."Yes I was using a common phrase that everyone is familiar with. I was responding to quotes like this "Asked whether A. ramidus was our direct ancestor or not, the team said more fossils from different places and time periods were needed to answer the question." If you get a mo, pop over to the journal of The Scientist and search for "fossil missing link" and you will see that it is a common term even in the scientific community. |

"And yet you typed that statement into a computer keyboard. Made from a plastic compound manufactured from crude hydrocarbons, recovered from geological reservoirs miles beneath the earth's surface. Processed by microchips millimetres in size, using semiconductor technology. And posted on this website by sending thousands of bits of binary information down fibre-optic cables for thousands of kilometers, before being reassembled, reprocessed, and appearing on my liquid crystal display flatscreen for my perusal."And so the boundaries between exact science and non-exact science get blurred. In a discussion about the scientific view of the big bang and fossils, the fact that science has created computers is brought up. Exact science is exactly that, exact. Processes can be replayed infinite times in the lab. This is science. Non exact science such as fossil dating and the origin of the universe is a totally different thing, and this is the area that I liken to religion. |

If you look at the actual skelton, the hands look like the hands are proportionally bigger and the pelvis is long like a chimps. |

"Oddly, the scientists don't call this the missing link, it's only the hangers on that use this phrase, the scientists are actually admitting that this isn't quite the missing link that they are still searching for."You demonstrate your ignorance again. Scientists are not searching for "the missing link" because they don't think there is "the missing link". It's an over-simplification for use in the media. "Theories are by definition proposed answers, followed by lots of research to try to prove that theory as being true. It is the whole principal behind any non-exact science (a science that can't be repeated in the lab, which is the case when working such old remains)." Theories are the principle behind *all* science.
A proposed answer is a hypothesis, not a theory. A theory is much more than that. Experiments can't prove that a theory is true. They can fail to prove it false, but that's not the same thing. You don't understand scien |

"Science and religion are the same thing. Think of the answer, then work backwards to make everything else fit."That is not science. You don't know what science is. "Look at Dawkins now, he even acts like a religious preacher." That's true, but it's not what makes him a scientist. "If both sides to this debate were man enough to agree that their own side was flawed, then a lot more respect would be given." You prove that is untrue - you eagerly seize on any acknowledgement that science is not perfectly true at all times in order to ridicule science for being imperfect. That is not respect. "As for me, I am well read in both camps and have an empathy for both arguments." You don't know what science is and you ridicule it for being honest rather than claiming perfect knowledge of everything. Your claim is therefore completely false. |

I’m pretty sure it says somewhere in the Book of the Bored, that the goddess Opie sacrificed her right hand and her feet to humanity, to create it. THEREFORE, anyone that ‘suffers’ from ABS is really someone blessed by Opie.
(See I blame science. Everyone knows that if you have ABS, it really means that you’ve been chosen by Opie as a demi-god.) “Blessed is they who sits at Opie’s right stump. For they be a true friend of the goddess/”

"Yea, and on the First Day, Opie did create the beasts of the land, and she did so with cardboard tubes and a marker pen. And it was good."
HAHAHAHA.
I love this. A lot. |

10bears, you're wrong. In many, many ways, as davy and others have pointed out. Just FYI, the Big Bang was not 14 million years ago. More like several billion.In conclusion, 10Bears, I award you no points. |
