And Dr. Lovejoy has some serious chops in this area.

Personally, I'm in the Alien Intervention camp as far as evolution
goes. We are either the remnants of an advanced civilization (yeah,
yeah - that's the whole BSG ending, but that idea was around for a
hell of a longer time than BSG) or an advanced civilization intervened
by boosting species intelligence and curiosity (well with the
exception of progressives and liberals - every species has it's
evolutionary failures and it's pretty obvious in our case) and out we
popped.

That's my story and I'm sticking to it. :)
I wasn't paying close attention to the news story last night but
anthropologists, recently, have found a new link that supports evolution
theory. They are dating it back 2 million years. I think they are calling
it ardi or emmm or something like that.


It's Arti. I certainly have some relatives that are throwbacks, however.

We all do. That is if you subscribe to evolution. That still leaves room
for a god or gods to be the creator of the creatures we evolved from.
Some nice Jehovah's ladies stopped by today while I was out exercising
the dog. They must have seen that I need enlightening. After they
delivered their message from Jehova, I tried my theory on them but they
didn't buy it. So where are you in this Cre/Evo controversy. I'll bet
you have some strong opinions.

Are you claiming you don't "subscribe" to evolution? My opinion is supported
by the facts of evolution.

?? Don't understand. Do you or don't you believe evolution is a scientific
theory supported (as they are) by facts.

Evolution is a known fact so how does it score points on a theory

Yeah - that's what the first story was about. We're coming closer to
understanding that there may not be a "missing link" as such - if
anything, it maybe the opposite.

Yes, and any episode of "COPS" proves it.

I missed the episode of COPS in which four New York City cops shot and
killed Amadou Bailo Diallo 41 times while he was reaching for his
wallet. Just another instance of missing link cops, I guess.

Or was this the missing like case:



Ex-Cop Sentenced To 30 Years In Prison For Torturing Haitian Immigrant
In New York With Broomstick


A White former patrolman was sentenced to 30 years in prison for
torturing a Haitian immigrant with a broken broomstick in one of the
most shocking acts of police brutality New York has ever seen.

Justin Volpe, 27, who pleaded guilty to violating the victim's civil
rights, could have gotten life without parole for the 1997 attack.

"I hurt many people. I was and still am ashamed ... I am extremely
sorry," Volpe told U.S. District Judge Eugene Nickerson. "I must and I
will pay for my crime."

Volpe rammed a broomstick into Abner Louima's rectum.

You know - for a smart guy, sometimes you fall into the same trap over
and over and over again.

The premise presented in that video is a false dichotomy by assuming
that the person viewing the plane wouldn't ask the question of who
made it. The assumption that Jason was a moron and couldn't have made
it only works if the information provided was that either Jason or
Susan made it.

In terms of ID vs evolution, the forced fault line in the discussion
is much wider. One is an article of faith, the other a matter of
science - proponents of each want the differences to be incompatiable,
but in fact, they are not. Science does not automatically mean that
one cannot believe in articles of faith nor do articles of faith mean
that one cannot believe in science.

Thus, the set up of presentations like the one above which
demonstrates a fault line that does not exist - or perhaps a better
way to put it is, it does exist, but only at the margins. Modern
people of faith understand that evolution in the animal kingdom
exists, but that does not intefer with the belief that somebody make
it, nor does it disallow following the tenants of faith and/or
religion.

Every belief system has it's outlyers even secular ones.

Plus, as a follower of the Flying Spaghetti Monster, I resent the
implication that all was not made in a boiling post of hot water.

So there. :)
