Re: Missing link found?
All I see is some old bones. And plenty of assumptions and faith-based statements. Besides... how am I descended from my "great aunt" pray tell?

But I have to say I'm with Yorick on the conclusion. An evolutionist (yes I'm generalizing) will say that it's an ancestral creature to humans. A creationist or a proponent of I.D. would say look at the common features made by the same designer. Personally, I can't put trust in the lineage based solely on some similar bone structures. Now, if there were a genetic profile, there might be something to go on. Add: Oh look, I'm a vampire now. Everyone to Cloudy's drinks are on me, today. Tonight, they're on you. |

Being agnostic about the finding is perfectly legit. I however, am a sceptic. I don't just mutely accept the proclamations of the priest-scientists declaring it to be my auntie, let alone that it proves I descended from her. |
Re: Missing link found?
Well, I'm asking him for real. I am unclear about where he stands. You're implying he stands between, this is what I am checking.
So you should be skeptical. A rational person has a fair degree of skepticism alongside an equal degree of open-mindedness. I am confused about this term. "Priest-scientists" or "priests/scientists"? |

Interesting article with a different view. Honestly, makes a lot of sense to me.
