Very interesting.  I think, though, that evolution is pretty much already accepted as a reality.  Some people just need more obvious evidence, it seems (by people, I mean creationists, specifically).  Thanks for the contribution!

This is from 2009, and the primate was called Ida.  It was over-hyped, and was shown after more research to likely be a more closely related cousin and not a direct link as was advertised.  It is still a beautifully kept fossil and it is of great interest, but it is not the “missing link”.

Evolution has been thoroughly proven by many other means.  People who are perfectly willing to dismiss all the other evidence will be perfectly willing to dismiss yet another link in our evolutionary chain.

The skeleton known as Lucy of genus Australopithecus, discovered in the 1970s, is far more likely to be a true, “missing link”.

This actually exists. This is fucking scary.

Ummm…I guess this level of ignorance would be semi-excusable from a giraffe who’s never cracked a book, lab-coat or not.  But I would have to seriously question the intelligence of any human making statements like these.  O.o

IDiots Once Again Justify Their Name
They go after me a lot at the Uncommon Descent website, a vehicle for intelligent design [ID] creationism, and I usually ignore them.  But their latest tirade is so ludicrously ignorant that I have to single it out. Here it is in full:

Facts and truth are, of course, not important to the professional IDiot.  The objective is to project confidence and disdain for those who accept evolution in any way possible.  This, so, to create confusion in the uneducated and thus to win more converts to their cause.  Displaying facts merely gives them more material to quote-mine and make up lies about.

Using science to disprove God’s existence, is like trying to disprove history with time.

octoberingabout:

God invented science, time invented history.

Fun fact: God created time as well. 

Hold up… If “God invented science”, why do so many Christians deny scientific facts?

Good question.

And what the heck does it mean to disprove history with time, anyway?  Time supports the concept of history.  Science doesn’t support the concept of God.  Neither does logic, for that mater.

Potholer54: How to confuse a creationist- homosexuality, evolution and the Bible.

This guy never fails to make me laugh, and think. Also, it contains Ricky Gervais, who I think is one of the funniest people taking part in the discussion of religion.

Enjoy!

Science v religion

But the dragons are still there!  They are just invisible, incorporeal, and will burn you if you don’t believe in them.

Creationists believe…

I have to wonder if people didn’t suspect that something seemed wrong with the whole picture even back then.

Cool!  I’d prefer to see the Earth moving instead of the light, but still, cool!
