Calling In De Bunk Squad...
Here. This disproves creation.
Well, at least according to this Indianapolis Star article.
Perhaps it illustrates the irony of secular journalism: A person caught red-headed with gun in hand exiting a bank with a bagful of the bank's money is carefully referred to in print as a "suspect"... so as to not imply that he is, in fact, a bank-robber. Yet when it comes to the theory of evolution -- although only a minority of the population is convinced -- secular journalists report on evolution 'news' with a given assumption that it's no longer a theory. They now want to equate it on par with theory of gravity... no longer a debated theory... but a truism... a theorum... a fact.
Read the article and ask yourself... is the Star reporting this as an assumption of fact?
"The chimplike creature strode the Earth more than 4 million years ago, and the fossils may reveal the hominid to be the first of our ancesters to walk upright."
"A study of the Gona fossils shows that while the species, Ardipithecus ramidus, walked on two feet, above the neck they were much like chimpanzees."
The evidence cited by the Star article includes... "one upper and two lower jaw bones, with intact teeth, several loose teeth, part of a toe bone and intact finger bones."
[Such conclusions based on that little amount of actual material, humorously brings to mind the beer commercial... "BRILLIANT!!!"]
If indeed these fragments disprove creationism, what theory of origins do they prove?
[Perhaps if only they'd have found another tooth or two, they could have nailed down the entire formula for the Big Bang -- naturally creating something from nothing, without calling it miraculous. ]
[Perhaps it's time to replay the tongue-in-cheek article... "A One-Bit Theory Of The Universe".]
Ok Christian community... where's "De Bunk Squad"? How about building a Christian collaborative academic group of Bible-believing scientists, mathematicians & apologists for just such a moment? Interested? Also consider the national "Creation Mega Conference 2005" at Liberty University, July 17-22.
