 That’s just rude. You argue with opinions not just go “pfft loser”. 

Right. I at least like to be called 'pfft loser' in the good old-fashion inaccurate characterization sentences.:D Make 'em do more than one click at least.

If you want to know what foolishness is in the Sirius movie by the scammer Greer then read this description. It is as bad as everyone suggested: a collection of manure in which people can pretend there is more than manure because the pile is so large.

Not sure why answers in genesis has this report:

Nolan points out that the most shocking discovery was that the epiphyseal growth plates seen near the ends of bones on X-ray suggest “an apparent age of 6-8 years.”9 However, the X-ray shown in the film does not support this claim. Fetuses and newborns have calcified long bone shafts, but their bone ends are cartilaginous. Over time these epiphyses normally calcify, and until growth is nearly completed a clear growth line can be seen between the calcified epiphysis and the bone shaft. In fact, in the film (as shown in the screen shot included here) the computer screen to the right of Ata's X-ray displays a photographic plate from a radiology reference showing what the X-ray of a child's knee looks like. The reference X-ray shows the clearly delineated epiphyseal growth plate, a calcified epiphysis, and a calcified kneecap (something else fetuses and newborns lack). None of these are visible on Ata's X-ray. Thus, the original assessment ascribed to the Basque County University forensic specialist—that Ata is a fetus—is the most reasonable conclusion. (Ata may have had some facial abnormalities as reportedly suggested by Dr. Lachman, or alternatively some distortion and disintegration. The Basque forensic specialist described the fetus as normal in appearance. And the lower pairs of ribs, being largely cartilaginous, may well have been lost to disintegration.)

The evidence is clearly indicative of a fetus.

 

The movie apparently is a cash grab effort for Greer, but we already knew he was a scammer and hoaxer in it to line his account with the money from the extremely gullible.

Both the X-rays and simple visual examination are consistent with a miscarried human fetus—not an alien, not a missing link, not a new species, and not even a 6–8–year-old real life Tom Thumb.

Having multiple mutations does not make someone non-human or alien. And having multiple mutations or a cluster of anomalies not associated with a previously recognized disease does not mean the victim was an alien. Even many recognized syndromes are, fortunately, rare, and therefore it is no surprise to find new ones—if Ata in fact does have anomalies and multiple mutations. Such a finding certainly does not justify speculation that Ata came from outer space, heralded a new species, or was an evolutionary missing link.

A new paper published on Ata concludes that she has no skeletal abnormalities and her strange appearance is just the result of fetal development.

As experts in human anatomy and skeletal development, we find no evidence for any of the skeletal anomalies claimed by the authors.Their observations of ‘anomalies’ represent normal skeletal development in the foetus, cranial moulding from delivery, and potential post-mortem taphonomic effects.
