This isn’t some weird existentialism or philosophy. It’s cold, hard science.
Two years ago, a graduate student from Arizona University doing research in Ethiopia where the skeleton of Lucy was found, discovered a jawbone. Lucy, if you don’t know, was discovered in 1974 and determined to be a 3.2 million-year-old specimen of the Australopithecus genus, an early hominid.
It turns out that this lower mandible with five teeth is human and dated to 2.8-million years ago, 400,000 years prior to any other human body-part discovery. Scientists think this means the species Homo, of which we are part, could have emerged up to a million years earlier than previously thought.
Take that, Rick Nicholls, you evolution-denying fool. I just don’t understand people like him. Believe in what you like, have faith in what you want, but deny scientific fact? That’s like saying dirt isn’t dirty because you don’t want it to be. People like Nicholls probably think a monkey one day gave birth to a human and that doesn’t make sense to him. That doesn’t make sense to anyone because that’s not how evolution works.
When scientists make a discovery and it challenges or negates previous thought, they change the way they think. That’s what I love about science! Nobody in the scientific community says, well I just don’t believe it! It either is or it isn’t. And it appears an earlier emergence of humans, is.
God scattered fossils at various locations around the earth so we would question our faith. The earth is 6,000 years old people! All the information you need is in the bible and on the interwebs! Educate yourselves! Salvation is at hand! Science is the devil’s work!
