I don't really mind science that is demonstrable.
It's the "science falsely so called" that I have a problem with.
Yeah brother, I've never seen anybody breed monkeys and watch them turn into people. Extreme time is the evolutionist's only ally.

Nonsense. Disagreement and questioning about the finer points of a theory does not lend support to a rival theory as a whole. Creationism has still made no effort to present proof for itself, it just makes arguments by negatives and other deceptive fallacies.
Present positive proof IN FAVOR of a theory, don't talk about the competition. Come on, quit stalling!
We are quite different from the apes in many ways. We have the biggest genitals in proportion to our size than the great apes. Gee, that means God must have created us to have lots and lots of sex, gonna mention that in the next Bible study meeting, chump?

From your own article:
Susan Anton, a New York University anthropologist and co-author of the Leakey work, said she expects anti-evolution proponents to seize on the new research, but said it would be a mistake to try to use the new work to show flaws in evolution theory.
"This is not questioning the idea at all of evolution; it is refining some of the specific points," Anton said. "This is a great example of what science does and religion doesn't do. It's a continous self-testing process
---------See that sort of says it all. Even if they rearrange the hominid tree totally, that doesn't speak against the big idea at all.

You can't disprove evolution, it's not a rule, its just what happens.
Humans didn't come from apes, we are apes. Humans are considered one of the great apes. A chimp is closer related to a human than it is to a gorilla or any other animal. Humans and chimps are closer to each other than rats and mice. So if you don't think humans are apes, than chimps aren't either.
Besides, evolution isn't a way to disprove god, it is just what happens in the world. A lot of the bible was written as ways to explain the world to people, a lot of people need to accept that.

This is a typical Christian response 'grasping at straws for hope'.
The article is about how new findings are changing our understanding of how humans evolved. That is a Great thing, because we, as humans are learning more about our origins. Science allows us to grow in understanding continually, and as a result, the human race is better off.
The scientific process has lead to medicine, new technology, and inventions that make life much better for humans. You state that evil scientist have an agenda, however you are typing this on a computer provided by the same people, using the same process as the ones you are deriding.
Science has provided more things that have made life better for mankind in the past 50 years than religion has ever provided.
Consider how religion tends to stifle education and learning in the name of tradition and holding on to belief. Consider how it has lead to multiple denominational splits, families breaking up, friendships disbanding and nations battling.
Science is clearly beneficial to mankind, where as religion has lead to distention and violence.
I am sorry for you, and hope that you will one day acknowledge how science has made your life better, and how religion has caused you to ignore education.

Your article has not disproved anything. Apparently you failed to read and understand the complete article. Evolution is an ongoing science that makes much more sense and is supported by much more evidence than creationism.

It does not disprove evolution, only says that it is not in a straight line it's more realistic, in my opinion, for evolution to be a bit out of order.
Added: "This is not questioning the idea at all of evolution; it is refining some of the specific points,"
The above was in the very essay, your link takes me to.

Umm it said from 1.5 million years ago, that's about 1.45 million years before "the beginning."
Plus as explained above I'm sure, evolution is a fact, the workings of it are the theory, and no one would be shocked if parts of evolution turned out to be wrong.
Try school.

I guess you didn't read this part:
"This is not questioning the idea at all of evolution; it is refining some of the specific points," Anton said. "This is a great example of what science does and religion doesn't do. It's a continous self-testing process."
