The Ape Man: Truth or Fiction?

YAWWWWWNNNN!!You do realize, don't you, that the elaboration of the "possible primate tooth" of "Nebraska Man" was done in the 1920's equivalent of the Weekly World News? You know, the tabloid that tells us that "half the hookers in America are space aliens - with no sex organs!"? And why do you care so passionately about these fossils found over a lifetime ago? Don't you think we've learned a little since then?

I never once heard of "Nebraska Man" until I became aware of the creationist movement about five years ago. I challenge you, Nothingness - heck, I double-dog-dare you - to find one single example of a non-creationist biology textbook published since 1930 that "teaches" Nebraska Man as anything other than a mistake. I very much doubt that you'll even find it mentioned at all.Produce me a reference, or shut up about this "fraud." There was no fraud.

Whoa! That's one off-topic post there, Noth! If you want to copy it to a new thread, there are three or four of us around here who will be happy to educate you on parallax.It's up to triple-dog dare now! Find ONE SINGLE non-creationist biology book published since 1930 that mentions "Nebraska Man" as anything other than a mistake. Give us the title and author.

Oh deary me. I don't know whether to laugh or cry.Yes, you admit it's "a bad example", but I'd have to say it's not even that: it's a completely irrelevant one.

That's very interesting. I wonder how everyone from Marie Curie until now that's studied nuclear chemistry and nuclear physics missed that little fact? Can you clarify for me, Nothingness?

That depends entirely on how much wet uranium he handles.
