Does anyone else find it remarkable that Sisterzeal, J Y, Primoa all seem to think that the following well-publicized article is some sort of challenge to evolutionary theory?
http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20070808/ap_on_sc/human_evolution
(The highly respected Nature article is here:
http://www.nature.com/news/2007/070806/full/070806-5.html
)
How uncritical a reader can one be not to see that these add yet further weight and validation to the ever developing story of human evolution?

Sybil, do you suggest I go back and improve on the PhD I have in the history of evolutionary ideas, and do more than I already have done in reading more refutations of evolutionary theory by theists than most theists would have patience for? If you set such high standards for education, presumably you know exactly what you are talking about. It doesn't sound like it though.

Good for you, NewCatholic. The difference is that most of the respondents to the Pope's remarks had no access to his speech (and he certainly WAS misquoted). In this case these people are pointing us to the actual article with the implication that they read it all and that it says something different from what it actually says. This is a grave error of critical reading. Such errors need pointing out.

I think they saw the headline on Yahoo! that reads "Evolutionary theory challenged" and a wave of euphoria washed over them, and they felt compelled to post without reading the article.

what it does show is that science doesn't always get it right - even when you think you have it all figured out
you cant deny that
but since most evolutionary scientist think they have it all figured out and one of their own show them they might have some part of it wrong - now opens the door to, well, whatelse do they have wrong
just like the artile said - the tree looks less and less like a tree and more like stumps and branches - kind of sounds like Genesis story to me

Pick and choose in the bible, pick and choose in the news; what is the difference? I believe this is called the "Data Adjustment Method" of science... you throw out the data that doesn't agree with your hypothesis.

It is just like when the Pope Spoke and was mis-quoted.
Get used to it, it goes both ways. Although I never told the mis-guided people that were to lazy to read what he REALLY said that they were un-educated or need to go back to school.
Peace be with you!

They might suggest YOU go back to school...so don't be a snob...something that seems to be inherent in the average liberal's character...

You gotta wonder if they even CAN read, since clearly none of them did read it.
