Many people honestly believe that the ancestry of mankind has been mapped faithfully and nearly completely. They have heard about "missing links," and regard them as scientific proof for man's evolution from primates. However, in truth, no ancestor for man has ever been documented. The "missing links" are still missing. Here is a summary of facts relating to some of the most well known fossil discoveries.

Homo sapiens neanderthalensis (Neandertal man) - 150 years ago Neandertal reconstructions were stooped and very much like an 'ape-man'. It is now admitted that the supposedly stooped posture was due to disease and that Neandertal is just a variation of the human kind.
Ramapithecus - once widely regarded as the ancestor of humans, it has now been realized that it is merely an extinct type of orangutan (an ape).
Eoanthropus (Piltdown man) - a hoax based on a human skull cap and an orangutan's jaw. It was widely publicized as the missing link for 40 years.
Hesperopithecus (Nebraska man) - based on a single tooth of a type of pig now only living in Paraguay.
Pithecanthropus (Java man) - now renamed to Homo erectus. Australopithecus africanus - this was at one time promoted as the missing link. It is no longer considered to be on the line from apes to humans. It is very ape-like.
Sinanthropus (Peking man) was once presented as an ape-man but has now been reclassified as Homo erectus

#1) if you have a really great friend, but her kids are uncontrolable (to the point of being violent when they get angry)and a bad influence on MY kids. Is it appropriate to be her friend and be 'busy' when she wants to go to the park or city with the kids and just see her when the kids are in school. If she asks, I will say 'i feel the dynamics of our kids together don't working that well'

6 million muslims in Africa convert to Christianity every year, the numbers in China are underground, as Christianity has to be.

Is this the second visit of Jesus?

Many times we are very busy parents doing our own thing, and our children sometimes seek our attention.
"What is it?" We asked irritably.... example.

I think we all been at this stage a few times, forgetting our place in the family. seems to happen more when something goes wrong, the job, bills, working on the house, stress or anything that keeps you busy.

I guess my age is showing..... but , I feel so sorry for a lot of you...... Christian or not...... the put downs, the anger...... What good is it doing ? Does it make you feel any better to put people in a box ??? I know there are good and bad people out there.... I know who God is...... I know what He is NOT !!!! I am a person of faith...... does that make me a member of some kill factory ??? When you make fun , or take your anger out on people, say for instance the Christian people, does that make you better than them ?? You are doing AND being just what YOU accuse US of being........ *sigh*....... God bless

And what about ONLY children? Do they tend to be smarter than the average and more likely to succeed?

Go ahead...feel free to use every possible adjective available. if you think that there is no existing adjective that can adequately describe it, feel free to make up an adjective yourself.

What am I supposed to do find an exact match? Some people don't like interracial couples so what the hell am I supposed to do to make those people happy? I am not actually trying to please them, I just want to know the thought logic on this subject. Anybody else that wants to chime in can as well.

Who would be the first to notice, or do anything about it?

I ask this question because I am writing a novel, -partially- about how different people react to such an outbreak of alien monster attacks. The other parts are just regular drama, as well as how different people deal with each other under pressure (they find ways to get on each other's nerves, even when in the background Godzilla is rampaging). Yes, it's meant to be satire.

A friend of my brother's and my boyfriend died two days ago tragically in a car accident. He was 21. I never knew the friend though I felt bad because he meant a lot to them, and I heard many stories about him, he was a humerous young man. They both wish to attend the wake and want me to come for support, but I never actually knew the man who died. I feel wrong going to the wake since I didn't know him and everyone there will, should I go and stay somewhere else like the back, or should I just not go at all and let them go by themselves?

i find it amusing when they claim that it has power but logically(i know i said the cursed word for most theists) wouldn't an omniscient God already know you would pray so whats the point besides if God has a "divine plan"(like some Christians claim) would he change it for every pathetic being he created isn't Gods will in any case no matter how much you will pray

let's say that religion as a concept wasnt introduced to people until high school, when all the major branches of religion (Islam, Judaism, Christianity, Buddhism, etc) were taught (not endorsed, just explained in principle) and you couldnt join a religion until you're 18 and legally an adult....

would there be more or less people following various faiths? would any religions die out, and what one do you think would be the biggest? would there be less religous conflicts in general?

just curious what everyone else thinks, thanks!

If you don't believe in something why bother spend time on it?
If you don't believe in the good of planting trees would you try to stop people doing it?
Is it because they are not really sure?
Is it because they fear something and look for Comrades?
Believers believe that if you make someone believe, you get a reward for that. What is the reward for the Atheists?
Is Atheism indeed a religion itself?
I really can't get it...
