Stop it Tweety, I'm not supposed to agree with you.

Whats stranger (if this is legit) is that no search I have done yet has brought up this site or any supporting site.

Yeah, and at the begining of all there was Adam and Eve.
I didn't thought that i'll find anti-evolutionists here...

Finally the missing link to the republicans is found.

"To have early humans on the remote island of Flores is surprising enough. That some are only about a meter tall with a CHIMP SIZE BRAIN is even more remarkable."

And how do bones stay in a "soggy" for 18000 years?

Your guess would be wrong. The African forest people ("pygmies" ) are the same species as everyobody else (Homo sapiens).

The Indonesian find is a different species.

I will try to find the story, but IIRC some time ago some bones were found in a peat bog in scotland (or somewhere in GB) that were so well preserved they started a murder investigation. They turned out to be thousands of years old.

Um thats the whole point. Flexibility and and the ability to revise models based on new information is great thing about the scientific process. Until we reach a point where scientific institutions refuse to change their current models, then it's not science, it's religion.

Post by: TweetyBird on October 28, 2004, 12:58:29 PM: I think a little skepticism is healthy. I still don't know why they'd iclude "yeti hunters" on the same site.

Now I'm waiting to hear its actually the original location of the Neverland Ranch.....
