Good article Loge. have you read Michael Cremo? His books sure seem to have alot of science to prove humanities origins are alot older then what they have led us to believe. i think we have been on this planet for millions of years and we just keep going through cycles of populating the world. Some big disaster comes every few thousands of years and we have to start all over again. Until we are finally become evolved enough to master interstellar travel.
Good quote you have on your avatar too!

Sanchera, you obviously did NOT read the article. It's an article AGAINST Evolution, not for it. It's talking about Scientists (yes, even non-Creationist scientists who have TESTED the Evolution theory) AGAINST Evolution who get degraded for not accepting the dogma.

Ok, must have misunderstood your post, sorry lol.
We weren't brought here by the angels of Enoch lol, influenced by them maybe.
Yes, I can accept micro-evolution in the fact that inter-species breeding and climate change can affect a species (like own own many varied races), but changing from one species into another out of nowhere I in no way accept. That is what I call imagination and wishful thinking.

If micro-evolution can create changes like varieties of human race over the course of, say 50,000 years. What do you think would happen over the course of, say, 50,000,000 years?
Your argument against evolution is like saying if you add a bucket of sand to a pile every day for a year, you can understand that a small sand dune will form. But you can't believe that in time it could become a huge sand mountain.....
Ashley-Star*Child
Jun 9 2005, 01:06 PM
Sand mountains don't turn into trees do they? So why the hell would a speck of dust from a meteorite (the latest Evolution attempt of explanation) turn into a fish (according to theory) then into mammal-reptiles (yes, animals SMALLER than dinosaurs half mammal half reptile existed BEFORE the dinosaurs, and yet mammals came into full force afterwards?) then turn into some ape-man, to the only intelligient life on the planet etc all on it's own?
There is only ONE, out of the millions of species on this planet that exist now and have existed before, intelligent species of life on this planet. And you're gonna tell me that intelligent life came from an ape??
Sand doesn't turn into trees, and dogs don't turn into cats unless you mix genes, and, if there ever actually was an 'ape-man' - which 'evidence' of skeletal remains in a zillion pieces patched together doesn't constitute as evidence - if IT ever actually existed, it existed, not because man came from it, but because man BRED with it. Try that out in a lab....mix a human's genes with an ape, and you'll find 'ape-man'. Beastality in times past was accepted in some tribes....keep that in mind.

Does anyone know how long monkey's have been on the planet? i really dont see how we could have evolved from monkey's in such a short period of time. I think 100,000 years is what the average time frame the evolutionist say we came down from the trees and homo-sapiens first appeared on earth. i dont think 100,000 years is enough time for us to turn from a monkey until what we are now.

Thanks for link Zandore but it really didnt do anything for me. I believe humans have been around for a lot longer then a few thousand years so it doesnt really convince me otherwise. Artifacts have been found that are millions of years old that only humans could of left behind or maybe another form of intelligent life. I really do think when evidence of us being here prior to 100,000 years is found it is quickly covered up. I could understand why they wouldnt want to challenge darwinism especially since most people take it as scientific fact.

Like I've said befoe, micro and macro are NOT the same. Just because Evolutionists have 'claimed it' to back up their flawed theories does NOT make it under their sole owndership.
I believe the Earth has been around for anywhere between 26,000-15,000 years. Carbon Dating is absolutely hopeless. Tests on the SAME material gives different results and Evolutionists just pick one that suits them. Add to that that CD supposedly (and quite convieniently) *can't* date anything under 50,000 years, AND that Radio-metric dating, a form of CD dated a T-Rex done to be 15,.000 yeas old, and the dating itself has a problem. Add that both red blood cells/Hemoglobin and soft tissue have been found in a T-Rex bone TWICE and that all museums have been called to crack dinosaur bones to heck if any others contain it, and timing seems to be quite a problem. Soft tissue and Hemoglobin does NOT last millions upon millions of years.
Add on top of that that NO 'missing links', i.e. transitional fossils have been found, and Evo's got so desperate they had to Hoax and embarress themselves with a Archeorapter that never existed by adding modern birds feathers to a normal Raptor fossil, and Evolution is shown to be what it really is. A theory, an UNPROVEN THEORY, that gets soved down people's throats as 'fact' without ANY real hard evidence.

Well, there IS eveidnce of the Enoch account, the FIRST account of creation. Genesis was a second account.
Now, what real evidence is there of Evolution, besides theories upon theories? Why is there a lack of 'missing links', why does it IGNORE findings that would blow th entire theory out? Sounds no different to what you just described. Evolution leaves no place for the open-minded, it dictates what is and what isn't and ignores what it doesn't like based on a theory. An unproven theory.

There ARE no missing links, and without missing links as hold hard proof there is NO evolution.
There is however evidence of Creationism, ESPECIALLY the one found in Enoch. Enoch talks about dinosaurs, what was taught is all throughout Egyptyian culture, and Egyptians even have a carving of two Apatosaurus/Brontonsaurus' being captured by their very long reptillian necks.

In fact it even states that dinosaurs where a hybrid creation of themselves, the REASON for this asteroid/tsunami/flood/ice age, described in that order. 200 of every animal created through the mixing of Nehpilim and animals, creating animals reaching 45ft, drinking blood, eating everything in it's path from mammals, reptiles, birds, humans, and eventually themselves almost to extinction before their final doom, turning the Earth into a bloodbath. They weren't co-existed with man, they were DOMINATING, and destroying man, and they had to go for the survival of man. And did they go? Yes they did. Who dominates the Earth now?

These footprints were found in a layer that was calculated to be 3.6 million years old, and more importantly, they were no different from the footprints that a contemporary man would leave.
The footprints found by Mary Leakey were later examined by a number of famous paleoanthropologists, such as Donald Johanson and Tim White. The results were the same. White wrote:
Make no mistake about it, ...They are like modern human footprints. If one were left in the sand of a California beach today, and a four-year old were asked what it was, he would instantly say that somebody had walked there. He wouldn't be able to tell it from a hundred other prints on the beach, nor would you.Whatch out for your ignorance

You never failed to complain against the format, but, ultimately, it is the exact same format that every single theory in existance, including evolutionary theory, has had to follow.

I probably wouldn't believe, not right away, but if it met all the pre-requisites for scientific methodology, if it followed the protocols of peer review, publication, logical arguments, I would really have no choice but to accept it as valid, my personal views on the matter be damned (so to speak).

Everyone is taught what they know. The difference is that now, as an adult, I can explain exactly what the evidence and support is for the theories that I follow, including the objective and logical evidence supporting it, whereas all you can do is repeat the same source from which you originally heard it. I stand ready to defend evolutionary theory in any formal debate, where hiding behind rhetoric and denial will serve only to emphasize how little there is to the opposing argument. But, I know you do not.

No no change has occured. Race changes are the result of climatic conditions and inter-racial connections.
Variations within brreds of dogs and cats are also the same as above.
This is ALL MICRO-evolution, and there IS evidence for that. There is NO evidence (and, yes you DO need a 'missing link fossil' to prove it) for any species changing into another. Inter-species breeding happens all the time. It was even posted on this board recently, horse/zebra, dolphin/whale. Yes, they are similar animals to begin with and their offspring may end up infertile, but that is not the case all the time. The modern dog, for example, came from several DIFFERENT species of canis, wolf, jackal, fox, etc. Can you now breed any dog with another of a different breed and have fertile offspring? YES.
There is a major leap between micro and macro evolution. A leap only some people will blindly take. And saying it happens slowly just isn't good enough. Human beings haven't transform into aliens or talking dolphins, or God knows what else. Humans are, as they have been for a very long time, still human beings, or homo sapiens.
And, no Shaftsbury it wasn't ever 'debunked' the site it came from is valid. Everything on that site is taken from REAL digs, REAL locations, and REAL fossils.

And, no Shaftsbury it wasn't ever 'debunked' the site it came from is valid. Everything on that site is taken from REAL digs, REAL locations, and REAL fossils.
I have no doubt that the website is real, however there have been many such claims made in the past:
Oldoway Man
Castenedolo Man
Guadeloupe Man
Galley Hill Man
Malachite Man
Moab Man
And all these claims have errors in their interpretation of either the sedimentry layer that they were found in, or the identification of the skeletons themselves.
Could you please post a source for this site so I can have a look for myself?
