I stand completely vindicated or have you lost the ability to read.
You just can't stop taking quotes from this person out of context can you WT. What he means is that you cannot tell just from the fossils if the once living thing was your specific grandpa or not. This DOES NOT prevent fossils from being evidence of related phylogeny! This is exactly what he is saying and what you like to do is pick out one sentence and when twisted makes it kinda seem like he agrees with you! You are not vindicated. Just because you WANT this source to agree with you dosen't mean he does no matter how much you distort and quote mine. To all of us who read this and can comprehend on the most basic level you look extremely naieve to read that post of loudmouth's and draw the conclusion and claim of victory that you did. Read the rest of the paragraph!
Let me repeat some key points for you that directly un-vindicate you:
Ancestors must exist, of course -- but we can never attribute ancestry to any particular fossil we might find.
You can recognize various attributes that suggest kinship to humanity, but you would never know whether this particular fossil represented your lineal ancestor - even if that were actually the case.
LINEAL ANCESTOR WT! He is saying that you cannot be sure that your specific genes came from the person represented by this fossil.
In addition, the use by creationists of selective, unauthorized quotations, possibly with intent to mislead the public undermines their position as self-appointed guardians of public values and morals.
And if this last quote isn't poetic justice I do not know what is.
