I asked a Q's and then gave a little tutorial as I ussually do, this bothers people for some reason. I'm somewhat at a loss as to why I hear its to long and there are mistake's, I would like to think that its ussually a good read, but I might be a little to enambered with myself. Anyway it's been my experience that christians are'nt on the same page when it comes to evolution, and I'm used to that. But when I mentioned missing links such as Erectus,Habilus,Lucy,Goliath, and other humans such as Neandethal and the Hobbits the evolution crowd indicated I might be full of it. Well, unless I'm going to believe in the whole Satan is in those scientists and there lying, (crowd) I have on good authority, that scientists discovered a human species on th Island of Flores in Indonesia.They are decendants of Erectus, who then were isolated on the island and dwarfism set in, they evolved to half the size of Erectus. I throw this Q's here for obvious reason's. Have you heard about them,(plural)?

Yes, I remember reading about them, in archaeology magazine.
However, I think because they were coined the nickname "hobbit", it has thrown some people off. Because this conjures up images of the hobbits from Lord of the Rings, (which we all know is fictional), and thus allows the creationists to think (erroneously) that we lost it, and are following fiction, now.

Yes, I have.
As for additional species, the jury is still out if the "hobbit" is indeed a distinct species, it's too early to decide. They would have to find more skeletons to decide the question. The first neanderthal find was also only resolved to be a distinct species after additional remains were found. DNA is in the "hobbit" case not preserved, so can be of no help.
Yes, to the additional questions, your question is too long and would benefit from a spell checker, and I am not clear what its point is.

The "hobbit" is still pending further evidence, however the remains found so far do not exhibit signs of genetic deformity. This would indicate that humans adapted to their environment like several other species such as elephants by decreasing in size.

I remember seeing a documentary exploring the possibility that the 'hobbit' skeletons were actually unusually short Homo sapiens with a genetic deformity. I don't remember what the conclusion was.

I believe you are wrong,the hobbits did not descend from erectus but lived along side of them.Many great mysteries
The Bible says "IN THOSE DAYS THERE WERE GIANTS,
AND ALSO AFTER THAT".

Yes. They are real, and yet another example of a transitional form for the creationists and christian fundies to deny..
How about some scientific info for the fundies to digest..?

Yes, I read about this fossil evidence, loosely coined "hobbit".

A "Missing Link" called "ERECTUS"?!?!?!
Sounds like an ape OD on Viagra, Gandalf!!!

Yes I have. I don't see why the evolution crowd would have trouble with this.
