Want to go with me to a Bible Board and start arguing with everything they say and going off the subject? Actually, I wouldn't do that but it sure seems to be a problem on this board.
be my guest. my perspective is not off topic and since you are new here i will let your comments go.
18,000 years ago, the invasion of the New World by humans about 12,000 years ago, and a global mass extinction about 11,000 years ago.
it is amazing how quickly the time frame lowers as evidence dictates it. though i think those dates maybe a little high still.
We already have bones that have survived millions of years, so yes, we do know that they can survive
sorry that is hypothesis not fact.

To Arch,
I just got on this board today and I read your message but I'm not sure I understood what you were saying? Are you saying bones can't survive in a fossilized form for 3 Million years or so? Were you saying you have already had this conversation and you are annoyed it was brought up?
Are you saying there is no such thing as science?

Honestly, I have no idea what the heck you are trying to say.
Donna
Hi Donna.

I have the same trouble with Arch - nothing makes sense to me. GV on the other hand can genrally articulate what he means, the problem is that his ideas are lunatic fringe. Yet between the two of them they manage to highjack every thread. Arch has decided he doesn't like the Harris Matrix. He has no idea what it is, what it does, how it works or why it's important. He just doesn't like it. The best advice is to ignore these guys. I'm trying.....

Two perspectives on this Arch.

1 - Donna is new, but she's a lot smarter than you.

2 - You are probably a brilliant theologian, but when it comes to archaeology you have no clue....

More on the New Hominid Fossil - The Published Report

Post by FreeThinker »

Hey all, just back from vacation. Good to be back too. Here you can find the article published in Nature detailing the hominid fossil child that has been generating news:

http://www.nature.com/nature/journal/v4 ... 3278a.html

Always best to get the full info complete with references, eh?

Good stuff. Enjoy!!

i was going to respond to you oas but your comments just demonstrate how little you know and how much you assume and any reply is just a waste of time.

just stick to the topic and don't make me the issue. by doing so only lets everyone know you have nothing to offer except to attack another person.

you also give us insight into your character which undermines what constructive posts you make.

Personally I will be delighted if you decide I'm a waste of your time.

I will agree with you on the threads going off topic. Happens all the time. Not a lot of archaeology being discussed here.....

Welcome Donna, and welcome back FT, missed ya.

NG has a good article on the new find. They called her "Lucy's Child" this should stir up the pot a bit.

Donna, as for Arch and GV, don't ask any questions that require a real answer. They will either make some sort of statement that's pompous or just plain ignore you. Notice how ignore and ignorance have the same root.

Like OAS I try to let them pass and pretend they aren't around, but sometimes you just have to respond. :twisted:

Arch has decided he doesn't like the Harris Matrix. He has no idea what it is, what it does,

Arch has the same trouble with archaeological evidence that he doesn't like, as well.
Something is wrong here. War, disease, death, destruction, hunger, filth, poverty, torture, crime, corruption, and the Ice Capades. Something is definitely wrong. This is not good work. If this is the best God can do, I am not impressed.

We have to conclude that evidence and facts are not compatable with mythology and dogma.

Back to archaeology.
