Yesterday's Evolution was Wrong

New findings have thrown a kink into the evolutionary fairytale.

Despite that the scientists expect you to still believe in it.

whew, now I can go back to believing in that mystical being in the sky that provides no evidence of his existence yet requires everyone to have faith that he is there or go to hell. Yeah, that's the ticket.

There's not a single thing in there that proves or even says evolution is wrong. Just because habilis potentially existed side by side with erectus doesn't mean habilis didn't evolve into erectus.

We aparently evolved from Apes, apes are still around, right?

Thats the pesky thing about scientists, they will update their theory based on the latest and best evidence... If you did that you'd have nothing left to beleive in.

Evolution is wrong! The earth was created in 6 days, and its only 6 thousand years old.

Because the Homo erectus skull Leakey recovered was much smaller than others, scientists had to first prove that it was erectus and not another species nor a genetic freak. The jaw, probably from an 18- or 19-year-old female, was adult and showed no signs of any type of malformations or genetic mutations, Spoor said. The scientists also know it isn't Homo habilis from several distinct features on the jaw.

I would love to know the science behind determining that this sample was not a genetic mutation or malformation. I know we expect certain shapes and proportions, but how do we differentiate between a genetic mutation back then and a malformation and normal existence?

Another OP that can't read his own thread....

All the changes to human evolutionary thought should not be considered a weakness in the theory of evolution, Kimbel said. Rather, those are the predictable results of getting more evidence, asking smarter questions and forming better theories, he said.

That's all this really boils down too. Just because your version of the story is supposedly set in stone... Most others are "theories" and theories can change when evidence proves the old theory wrong.

I'm sure when we figured out that the earth was not the center of the universe and sun revolved around us, or when we told you the earth was round and not flat... We didn't make a big deal out of it and jump all over you for it... Have some respect for others...

Stop trolling....

GoPackGo, thanks for showing us your total lack of understanding of science in general

I guess you missed this part:


In 2000 Leakey found an old Homo erectus complete skull within walking distance of an upper jaw of the Homo habilis, and both dated from the same general time period. That makes it unlikely that one evolved from the other, researchers said.

Especially when new evidence contradicts the old evidence, yet we are expected to believe the old evidences theorys

Evolution is the fairytale, but the stories about the benevolent all powerful yet invisible man in the sky who passively watches the unspeakable degradations enacted daily in his name on countless innocents is real.

Don't distract from the thread by confusing one fairytale with another.

What evolutionary theory does the OP subscribe to?

Fair enough. Don't distract from the thread by articulating scientific evidence in evolution as "belief"

Since science has but only the smallest picture of the past, there is a huge requirement that you have to believe them.

Personally, scientists should put more effort into a time machine...but odds are some moron with a donut would end up going back in time and erasing our entire existence.
