Not posting for religious debate, just interesting that is was in the Balkans, and not Africa.

The funny thing about all this is you won't ever, under any circumstance convince an pure evolutionist of intelligent design, and you won't convince some creationists that the world is older than about 4,000 years. Their minds are made up. I think stuff like this is really interesting.

Judging by tooth wear that one was a trophy.

i just don't worry about the various time theories.
this development IS interesting, but i don't understand why evolutionists insist there was a "split" between apes and man. sure, we share basic building blocks. why not? i never did buy the africa-as-cradle-of-man theory. that's just the first place old parts were found.

Because without a split, we didn't all come from a single ancient organism. It's hard enough for anyone to believe that we all came from a single-cell organism, but for multiple different single-cell organisms to all evolve? Even evolutionists know that's not possible.

Several articles written about this find are really fun reading. The assumptions made and the erroneous way of aging a tooth and a jawbone, well they are laughable. But evolutionists will report it as fact and create this brand new narrative on the history of man. It must be nice to just make up stuff and have it turned into fact.

(See, didn't even have to mention religion)

That thing had a smile only a mother could love.

Looks like a mold of my teef

I will The Catholic church actually endorses evolution, but probably with a component of intelligent design.

Between the young-earthers and the "evolution as a random act of science", I think the truth is somewhere in the middle.

BioLogos.Org has a lot of really interesting theories about evolution guided by intelligent design. Not looking for a debate or even a discussion, just fyi.

There were Giants,dwarfs and normal human beings in history. But no transitional beings. A dog is similar to a rat but the dog didn't evolve from the rat. Matter of fact I've not seen or read of any evolving species in the last 200 years. Deformed but not new or transitional.

I figure Troy will be along soon to tell us how old he was.

So if evolution happened why did it stop? Has everything on earth completed it's evolution cycle? If so why? And who decided that? Is evolution just a freak of nature? Like a snake growing legs to become a lizard?

Men are now wearing rompers. It hasn't stopped, although this could be considered devolution.

Evolution (macro kind) is a farce of epic proportions offered up by those in the historical sciences who rejected that God created and designed all we know in the universe. That's not bringing religion into it, that is simple fact based on the writings of the early evolutionists that were the founders of the movement today.

They had to have some explanation. They could dig in the rocks and find evidence. But historical sciences cannot be studied with the typical scientific method....observing, testing and repeating to figure it out. No one alive today was there to observe. Also there was no written record to talk about what was alive when and how things worked other than the Bible which was rejected as being a myth. So they speculate to fit their narrative they want. The 7 million years came up because the jawbone was found in a strata of rock that the secular scientific community declares is 7 million+ years old based on marine fossils found viewed from an evolutionary process--ignoring the tons of "anomolies" globally that refute this aging system. Total crock. Early geologists did the work that brought this thinking to the mainstream and it has stuck. Their thought process: "If God didn't create, then evolution must be the answer...and looky here the rock strata shows the evolution so let's assign ages based on processes we can see today."

Some historical sciences are very accurate because the time frame in which they are observing is relatively close and not millions of years old. We hear about digs that uncover ruins all across the Middle East, Mediterranean and Europe--digs of buried cities and even finding manuscripts and symbols. Cool Stuff that is worth studying. Skinny will do a dig in Alabama and get data and information on the native American village to come up with a sound idea of what life was like then and even put good dates together. Tremendous work on the study of Early civilizations in the old world and also in America before Europeans came. Not bashing this work at all...I really enjoy it actually. However,
this kind of historical science is very different than the geologists and paleontologists finding a jawbone in the Balkans in some rock they say is 7 million years old....very different from ideas and theories being self-declared as fact to the point that it is just accepted today as truth.

Man did not evolve from chimps or other apes--which evolved from some other earlier form of something--which evolved from something else, and so on. The entire notion is absurd.

Before the atheist evolutionists and deceived Christian evolutionists chime in---evolution in a micro sense (adaptation, natural selection, variation) does exist and is observable and testable.

There is no way that animals can evolve into completely different looking........ Well maybe dogs but nothing else.



Different breeds of dogs are created over a relatively short period of time.

by man ... ^

i'm going with "after its own kind." no splits, no macro evolution ...

Ive never bought into Africa being the cradle of civilization.
There have been ancient bones found all over the world and I have to question the dating process as being a guess like many things we don't know.
There will be no argument from me on either side of the coin whether or not the earth is thousands, millions or billions of years old because everything is an educated guess when it comes to the ancient.
I do like interesting finds like this because it makes me ask question even more like it should everyone

Wasn't there just a thread about high school girls being more mature than 20 years ago?
