Harkoliar, yep brother, good post

but the professor himself is a moron, the discussion can be more interesting if the professor has more understanding of christianity. he sounds like a kid

Yeah, but you wouldn't believe how many professors actually act like that, 250, until you get out there among them.

It's why I have elected to teach at a trade school rather than in a college. Prestige aside, I think it is far better to train people in job and life skills than to argue how many angels can dance on the head of a pin. It's more rewarding to me, anyway.

Cheers,

DNA tests can prove it. They show that fossil humanoids and Homosapin-sapin(?) have a gentic drifferents of less then 1.5% or so and seeing how all humans have a gentic direffence of less then 1.5% no matter what.

1)I'm a smartass.
2)I can't be bothered to spell tings right.
3)That if you took a sample of homo-sapin(Human that existed before us) and tested his DNA it would only be 1.5% deriffent from ours (Homo-sapin-sapin) is today and the one before that would be slimmer to that one and so on down the fossil record.
4)that professer is really, really bad at this job. I've can spot lots of points were he could of put a hole in the 'students' theory.

Show me irrefutable proof that a homo sapin (whateva that is) is a human that came before us.
And tell me what percent difference there is in DNA between you and a cow while you're at it.

I'll have to see the evidence on that one (studies). How long does DNA survive in a viable form? How long before DNA degrades to the point that our tests are unreliable? What is the differance in percent of human DNA and say chimpanzee? So we are close (humans and chimps) does that mean one came from the other?
What is the percent differance of DNA inorder to quailify species as being seperate species?

Yeah, that's what I'm saying. There is no way that they have DNA from back then.

Nice post Harkoliar!
Aside from the bickering about whatever else it was.... (religion, the intelect of the professor).... I really liked that tale
