To creationists who keep up with the subject of evolution this is not news since it was already documented over a decade ago. I am glad you posted the article link. My local newspaper printed a shorter version of that article.
If I had not read the longer article you linked to I would not have read that the university professor ADMITTED that,
"They still have some UNDISCOVERED ancestor that PROBABLY lived 2 million to 3 million years ago, a time that has NOT LEFT MUCH FOSSIL RECORD,"
So you have to objectively recognize that the above statement shows that you need to have blind faith and believe that there must be some type of unknown ancestor even though there is no basis or proof of it. Evidence is not needed for much of evolutionary thought to be accepted.
I always wonder why most atheists or agnostics don't just say something more honest like, " OK God does exists but I don't want to accept Him," instead of trying to convince themselves and others to accept a theory that has no observable evidence of transmutation of species and goes against the fact that main kinds of species are found fully developed together in the earliest fossil record without predecessors- the Cambrian Explosion which is never explained by evolutionists.
Thanks for the post!

hey,
inspite of all the overwhelming evidence that evolution is not real, never happened, you can't just prove it did not happen,
You have to build a case based on the facts that establish it is not credible.
You can not prove creation either....that might come as a shock that I am telling you this.
You take on faith from your book of faith that what is there is real.
science then either builds a case to support that faith or it goes against it.
In the case of creation, you can't duplicate that in a lab. that makes creation unscientific regardless how much you want it to be scientific.
evolution is the same way. I'm telling you that they are both acts of faith, one is true one is not.
Something you would do well to understand is this. If you went up to a man, and said, I'm going to present all the evidence for both creation and evolution without prejudice and you need to decide what is truth......the man then says, I don't want to hear it, I already know the truth. Then what you are dealing with is a stubborn man, one who has a problem with his will, not the evidence.
regardless what you say, or prove for that matter, some will not listen, nor should they be forced to do so.
with the integrity you have, i'm sure you agree, we can't force something on them, nor should they force anything on us.

At times I'm tempted to quit my current career path and become a science writer just to combat some of these misleading articles. The writer probably has no idea how delighted the creationists will be to misuse the first few lines of that piece.
Ugh.

As much as I don't believe in evolution on a macro-scale, the findings and conclusions in this article do nothing to disprove evolution...only, as the authors claim, refute the most commonly accepted evolutionary path.

Actually, I read this article and also thought that creationists and the theists would come to that conclusion.
the reality is that given the laws of evolution as we know them, it makes far more sense for there to be many dead ends, competing similar species and disorganized growth in the human species, than it would for there to be a simple and steady progression.

I love "facts" being forced down my throat and then being forced believe them to a "T" exactly. Being well trained i will not read the article because my pastor does my thinking and he is always right. You have just as much certification as he does so i should believe you without a doubt.
As far as drinking, yum

Does it sadden anybody else that when you read a headline like that, the first thought in your head is that millions of morons think they have been proven right and scientists will finally abandon their "theory"?

Haha! Lol! I bet most of these creationists will read the first sentence of that article and twist the rest to suit their argument.
Good one!
