The credulousness of atheists is breathtaking.

What are those skeletons, Faith? Crossbreed dwarf Nephelim? Fakes placed by Satan to deceive the faithful?
I think I know who is credulous.

They're either human or they're not, and if they're human they are human, they are not "transitionals" but simply humans.

Artist renderings are untrustworthy. Beside which, as I said, if it's human it's human, but I don't trust whoever decides that anyway.

They're either human or they're not, and if they're human they are human, they are not "transitionals" but simply humans. And the great thing about creationism is that you can say that before you've studied their anatomy. The actual facts about the bones don't matter.

The credulousness of atheists is breathtaking. Well, yes. I admit that. We only have fossils that we can see and measure and touch, and we build on that? C'mon. Whereas you have a story about a talking snake that is documented in actual paintings. Artists don't lie.

Prpfessor Faith writes: They're either human or they're not, and if they're human they are human, they are not "transitionals" but simply humans. What's that?

If you could apply your native skepticism to your own beliefs, you would have a remarkable mind."If you can keep your head while those around you are losing theirs, you can collect a lot of heads."

If you could apply your native skepticism to your own beliefs, you would have a remarkable mind. Or, if she could apply her native skepticism to her own beliefs, she would be remarkably crazy. Her "skepticism" is such that if consistently applied, she wouldn't believe anything. That would be bad skepticism done wrong. She saves herself from this by applying her "skepticism" selectively, only to deny the conclusions of scientists when it suits her, and not so as to apply to her daily needs. If she did extend her principles to how she lives her life, she would, sure, be agnostic. On the other hand she wouldn't know how to tie her shoelaces.

Does this look human to you? Have to actually agree with Faith here* - argument by artist's impression is a dead end. After all, this doesn't look particularly human:
This one, on the other hand, wouldn't look too out of place if I saw him on the metro:
They are, of course, reconstructions of the same fossil (La Chapelle-aux-Saints 1), separated from one another by a century of cultural baggage and scientific study. *about this specific post, not about the new fossils. Edited by caffeine, : No reason given.
