Is this the end of all the "why are there still Monkeys?" questions?

    Now they're going to say "Why aren't we bacteria?"

    Deja vu. Remember all the other indisputable transitional fossils which supposedly 'proved' evolution: -

    Piltdown Man

    Nebraska Man

    South West Colorado Man

    Orce Man

    Lucy

    Neanderthal Man

    etc .etc. etc.

    We have heard it all before.

    They must think the public are stupid, we don't all live in evolutionist la la land.

    Evolution 'experts' have such a deplorable track record for wishful thinking, bad science, errors, misinterpretation of evidence and even fakes and frauds, you would need to be extremely gullible or an evolutionist zealot to swallow anything they say.

    In any case how is a monkey that has some similarities to a lemur anything to do with human evolution? It is simply another species of monkey, the best response from any sane person to this evolutionist hysteria is ... SO WHAT?

    How things can be twisted upside down.

    Those who think that any organized thing is based on intelligence, are considered stupid.

    Those who think that highly organized things made themselves, are considered intelligent.

    A few old bones of a different form are considered a scientific evidence that life came from no-life, that the variety of living forms on this earth came from the same cell, and that if we find two different skeletons, one must be an evolution from the other.

    I understand why for so many years a lot of people believed the earth was flat, even though it was evident that it was round.

    Theory of Evolution and all such discussion in science can not yet explain the Creation, all the four major evidence on which Darwin based his theory of evolution is now found to be false with the discovery and application of modern technique such as carbon dating and so on.

    As with all fossil proof of evolution, they'll just ask for the next 'missing link' in between that and write it off as either 'just a monkey' or a deformed man.

    More primate bones. Big deal. This has been going on for years and years. They'll find more later down the road and say THAT's the missing link. These bones have proved nothing so far and they never will.

    God made man in His own image.

    No. The Creationists have already admitted that there is no amount of evidence that will change their mind. We already have thousands of transitional fossils. One more primate fossil isn't suddenly going to make them see the light.

    My grandpa had really bad arthritis. When he died they buried him in a coffin so that people wouldn't accidentally unearth him years later and hale him as a missing like as well.

    You don't know that a fossil had any children.

    There are many alternate explanations for any fossil you find that you think "looks" like a transitional fossil. All of which, are not considered of course... because evolutionists simply MUST believe, religiously, in their own dogma, and look for it at every turn... and interpret it as such.

    There have to be thousands of missing links, this is just one, and it isn't even proven yet.

    With the enormous expanse of time allowed for the evolution of hominids, you have to have a much more complete picture of development than we'll ever have in the next 100 years.

    It isn't the end and we already have several fossils of pre-historic human ancestors.

    No. If this was a link-why didn't they all develop into higher primates? I think you ought to reserve jumping to a conclusion. Remember the 'funeral ossuaries" of Jesus' family?

    She looks like a monkey to me.
