This is an apt comparison. The modern day bowling ball, carefully crafted out of stone, jives with the activities of the common early man, who shaped stone into weapons. Early man was way too hungry to bowl, of course, and probably would have turned down an offer of a meal from your average Bowlerama.
Knocking down pins. And then setting them up again. Over and over. This kind of futile activity fits nicely with the silly thinking creationists, et al, engage in.
Well, team evolution just scored a point.
A cave, with thousands of human-like bones, was recently discovered in South Africa. These bones add up to a brand new subset of Homo, never before seen.
They call him, and her, and the children they found, Homo Neliba. This discovery is so recent, you can't even search it on Google. I guess I'll give up the idea that if you can't Google it, it doesn't exist.
Homo Neliba will satisfy those anti-evolutionites who constantly insist that they would love to accept the evidence, but they need the missing link? These people have studied evolution in such fine detail, read all the books, viewed all the bones, and have concluded that the only thing missing is that link.
You might as well be looking for cuff links. The idea of a "missing link" in evolution that must be "found" is a simplistic fantasy. Evolution, nature, the entire universe, and my bedroom, are messy and do not fit into human-centred categories.
This is the central dichotomy between humans and the world. Our brains desperately need to organize and categorize, and nature does not oblige us.
Homo Neliba combines features of both pre-Homo and Homo. He had the arms of an ape and the hands of a human. The anthropologist who found Neliba thinks the sub-species would have made great hand models, probably even better than George Costanza. His brain was smaller than ours, but it appears he buried his dead. This makes him dumber than the average human, but vastly smarter than the average neo-con.
I feel sorry for people like Presidential candidate Mike Huckabee. Nice guy but, despite any evidence, he clings to his world view like a newborn baby. A newborn he saved from an abortion, of course. Pre-life is invaluable. Once you're born, well, stop asking the government for stuff, you…baby.
Imagine if women gave birth to guns. The neo-con would do everything to make sure that gun found a good home, had plenty of bullets to eat, and was able to freely express itself in society.
In Britain somewhere there is a place where two continents meet. The gap between these two continents increases about one inch a year.
What does this tell us? That stuff in nature happens very, very slowly for the most part.
What does it tell Mike Huckabee? More people need to hurry up to church.
Poor Mr. Huckabee. Scientists keep chiseling away (get it? chiseling? that's great writing, people) at his belief system.
Soon enough, the anti-evolutonites will be forced into one explanation for what we observe in nature – God is tricking us. To test our faith. And our I.Q.
I thought it was only the Devil who tricks Man. Someone said the best trick the Devil ever carried out was convincing Man that he doesn't exist.
Do God and the Devil play on the same bowling team? I think they're throwing more and more gutter balls.
