anyway, how could there possibly be any fossils.
They all got washed away when the two chosen long necked giraffes got on that big Ark




There are dinosaur fossils, why aren't there gradual change fossils ? Why are there no fossils below mankind's appearance ?



OK. I'll humour you. Appearance from where exactly?


Appearance from where their fossils remains started. Scientists say that mankind's fossil record shows they just all of a sudden appeared. There are no remains beneath this level of earth, and there are no remains showing gradual change. Somewhere between the dino remains and now, wouldn't you think there would be a fossil record showing gradual change ?

Army gedin - you're a lovely looking woman and if I wasn't happily married I'd love to meet someone like you. Please don't tell me you're one of these religious nuts.

something separate to you. But the Buddhists have proved there is no seperation. We are all one. Nothing has any independant existence from anything else. There is no creator since nothing was created. It's all energy vibrating at different speeds. Scientsist have proved this. There are no gaps as air is an energy vibrating very fast and rocks are not actually solid but energy vibrating very slowly and between the rock, me, this computer and you there are no barriers, no actual separation so you, we, all of us are the creator that nevr created because there was nothing to create
and energy can never be destroyed just transformed.
Christianity is so 20th century
and Buddha, if he existed, never followed Buddhism

So - if like I think a dude is a bloke, and like you said you're a religious type then looking at you're picture it seems you've had some kind of trans gender thing going on. I thought that wasn't on with religious types.

You shouldn't be spraying sarsons at your age go get a job in a chippy :roll:

JJ - at least you have synapses that receive and send to each other. Look around on your next visit to town you'll feel better about it :)

$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('Armageddon', ' ')Scientists say that mankind's fossil record shows they just all of a sudden appeared. There are no remains beneath this level of earth, and there are no remains showing gradual change. Somewhere between the dino remains and now, wouldn't you think there would be a fossil record showing gradual change ?


There are plenty of fossils showing gradual change. I can't believe you managed not to learn this in school. The development of human beings from other forms is well documented. The development of the horse is also well documented with early and transitional forms. There are many other creatures with transitional forms discovered.


Hominid fossil record


Equine fossil record


This is actually a huge subject and not really something that can be adequately covered in a messageboard thread. If you need more links I'd be happy to provide them, but there are many to follow on those pages linked above. Paleontology is a huge field and new things are being learned every day.

Totally untrue. They take a skull from some type of ape / money and say it's the linkage to humans. That is not proof. Show me the gradual change of one species to another. And don't show me one fully developed specie and say this is its ancestor because many similar ones have died off and became instinct. This does not prove a thing. Show me where the gradual change occured. One day it's a dog, the next it's a horse ? I want to see a giraffe where it's neck was small, then one that started gradually growing taller. Guess what ? There aren't any. I wonder why ?

There are some pretty odd looking and deformed people living today that could fit into some pre-historic man category i'm sure.

That's ok, A. You can reject paleontology if you want to. You don't seem to understand it and you aren't interested in learning about it, and that's ok.

If you don't accept the fossil record as it stands, and you aren't interested in learning more about it (you didn't follow and read all those links just now), that's your choice. Most people, thank god, aren't that stubborn.

That "giraffe" you ask for would not be called a "giraffe" in it's short-necked form. It would be called something else. Early horses were never dogs, they just looked dog-like, with multiple toes. The equine record shows the toes disappearing. This took millions of years, not "a day."

$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('Armageddon', 'T')here are some pretty odd looking and deformed people living today that could fit into some pre-historic man category i'm sure.


And the differences between races is enough that a forensic pathologist can quickly determine the race of a skull. A forensic dentist can determine race by looking at teeth.

So there are a few known life forms reflecting gradual evolutionary changes and some are still [s]moving[/s] walking about. But you're right, there are a lot of 'in between' life forms still missing. Most will probably remain missing too.

Ludi nice to see you back!

Difficult to post seriously at the moment as I was hoping that Armi was an option when my gorgeous wife throws me out for Peak Oil addiction!

Can't believe that a god fearing christian is actually a transexual.
