There are three fundamental questions for anyone advocating Brexit:

1. What, precisely, are the significant and tangible benefits of leaving the EU?
2. What damage to the UK and its citizens is an acceptable price to pay for those benefits?
3. Which ruling of the ECJ is most persuasive of the need to leave its jurisdiction?

Pahu, you must ( or should ) know that this has been exploded years ago:

http://www.talkorigins.org/faqs/homs/wbrown.html

The Australopithecines are probably an extinct ape.

"There is indeed, no question which the Australopithecine skull resembles when placed side by side with specimens of human and living ape skulls. It is the ape - so much so that only detailed and close scrutiny can reveal any differences between them." Solly Zuckerman, "Correlation of Change in the Evolution of Higher Primates," Evolution as a Process, editors Julian Huxley, A. C. Hardy, and E. B. Ford (London: George Allen and Unwin Ltd., 1954), p. 307.



Hardly the most up-to-date reference available. The reason creationists have to use such old quotes is that Zuckerman seems to have been almost the only major scientist to dispute that australopithecines were hominids.



"We can safely conclude from the fossil hominoid material now available that in the history of the globe there have been many more species of great ape than just the three which exist today." Ibid., pp. 348-349.


True. So what? The fact that fossil apes exist does nothing to show that australopithecines are apes.



I have asked you repeatedly to check your sources. I am now reduced to asking you to understand them. Can you manage that?

I doubt that you will get this point, Pahu, but you beg (ie prejudge) the question when you say that the article shows that "apes and humans are different creations"; what you mean, or should do, is that they are different creatures, ie species. The problem with this thread is that palaeontologists, ie experts who AFAIK do not include any of us, are not creationists and are therefore not much aware or concerned that their language might be used by an absurd theological cult to attempt to show that that evolution between species did not occur. Therefore they, the specialist experts, kind of start off with an acknowledgment that the extant primate species of today, which are "apes" of some sort, plus the "naked ape" (ie homo sapiens sapiens) are a convenient way on which to base a sort of classification of species for describing non-extant species like the ones coming up in the thread. Truth is of course that, while particular examples of these extinct species might resemble more us lot or the chimps, they are neither of them!

Ape-Men? 6


For about 100 years the world was led to believe that Neanderthal man was stooped and apelike. This false idea was based upon some Neanderthals with bone diseases such as arthritis and rickets (v). Recent dental and x-ray studies of Neanderthals suggest that they were humans who matured at a slower rate and lived to be much older than people today (w). Neanderthal man, Heidelberg man, and Cro-Magnon man are now considered completely human. Artists’ drawings of “ape-men,” especially their fleshy portions, are often quite imaginative and are not supported by the evidence (x).

Furthermore, the techniques used to date these fossils are highly questionable. [See pages 36-42]

Hey, Pahu, since you've managed to survive Saturnalia, perhaps you can clear up a few biblical queries I have?

What day did Jesus die on? Was it the day before the Passover meal (John 19 xiv) or after the Passover meal (Mark 14 i-ii)?

On the day after the sabbath when Mary Magdalene went to the sepulchre, did she go alone (John 20 i), with just the "other Mary" (Matt 28 i), with Mary the mother of James and Salome (Mark 16 i), or with Mary the mother of James, Joanna and "the other women that were with them" (Luke 24 x)?

not that it matters, but how you've miscoded this post makes my words (ie the second section after your "It didn't!") appear to be yours! Well, I thought, funny, this sounds like what I would say, not Pahu!

He died on Passover day which began at sundown.
On the day after the sabbath when Mary Magdalene went to the sepulchre, did she go alone (John 20 i), with just the "other Mary" (Matt 28 i), with Mary the mother of James and Salome (Mark 16 i), or with Mary the mother of James, Joanna and "the other women that were with them" (Luke 24 x)?
Mary went with a group of women. She was ahead of the other women and arrived at the tomb alone and found it empty. She immediately ran to tell the disciples. The gospels harmonize better than you might think. This is the way I see it using the NIV translation:
THE EMPTY TOMB
(Mt. 28:1-10; Mk. 16:1-8; Lk. 24:1-12; Jhn. 20:1-9)

When the Sabbath was over, Mary Magdalene, Mary the mother of James, and Salome bought spices so that they might go to anoint Jesus’ body. There was a violent earthquake, for an angel of the Lord came down from heaven and, going to the tomb, rolled back the stone and sat on it. His appearance was like lightning, and his clothes were white as snow. The guards were so afraid of him that they shook and became like dead men.

After the Sabbath, very early on the first day of the week, at dawn while it was still dark, they went to look at the tomb. Just after sunrise, they were on their way to the tomb and they asked each other, “Who will roll the stone away from the entrance of the tomb?”

Mary Magdalene went to the tomb and saw that the stone had been removed from the entrance. So she came running to Simon Peter and the other disciple, the one Jesus loved, and said, “They have taken the Lord out of the tomb, and we don’t know where they have put him!”

When the women looked up, they saw that the stone, which was very large, had been rolled away. As they entered the tomb, they saw a young man dressed in a white robe sitting on the right side, and they were alarmed.

The angel said to the women, “Do not be afraid, for I know that you are looking for Jesus the Nazarene, who was crucified. He is not here; he has risen, just as he said. Come and see the place where they laid him. Then go quickly and tell his disciples and Peter: ‘He has risen from the dead and is going ahead of you into Galilee. There you will see him, just as he told you.’ Now I have told you.”

Trembling and bewildered, the women went out and fled from the tomb. They said nothing to anyone, because they were afraid. The women hurried away from the tomb, afraid yet filled with joy, and ran to tell his disciples. Suddenly Jesus met them. “Greetings,” he said. They came to him, clasped his feet and worshiped him. Then Jesus said to them, “Do not be afraid. Go and tell my brothers to go to Galilee; there they will see me.”

Very early in the morning, others took the spices they had prepared and went to the tomb. They found the stone rolled away from the tomb, but when they entered, they did not find the body of the Lord Jesus. While they were wondering about this, suddenly two men in clothes that gleamed like lightning stood beside them. In their fright the women bowed down with their faces to the ground, but the men said to them, “Why do you look for the living among the dead? He is not here; he has risen! Remember how he told you, while he was still with you in Galilee: ‘The Son of Man must be delivered into the hands of sinful men, be crucified and on the third day be raised again.’” Then they remembered his words.

When they came back from the tomb, they told all these things to the Eleven and to all the others. It was Mary Magdalene, Joanna, Mary the mother of James, and others with them who told this to the apostles. But they did not believe the women, because their words seemed to them like nonsense. Peter and the other disciple, however, got up and started for the tomb. Both were running, but the other disciple outran Peter and reached the tomb first. He bent over and looked in at the strips of linen lying there but did not go in. Then Simon Peter, who was behind him, arrived and went into the tomb. He saw the strips of linen lying there, as well as the burial cloth that had been around Jesus’ head. The cloth was folded up by itself, separate from the linen. Finally the other disciple, who had reached the tomb first, also went inside. He saw and believed. Peter went away wondering to himself what had happened. (They still did not understand from Scripture that Jesus had to rise from the dead).

THE GUARDS’ REPORT
(Mt. 28:11-15)

While the women were on their way, some of the guards went into the city and reported to the chief priests everything that had happened. When the chief priests had met with the elders and devised a plan, they gave the soldiers a large sum of money, telling them, “You are to say, ‘His disciples came during the night and stole him away while we were asleep.’ If this report gets to the governor, we will satisfy him and keep you out of trouble.” So the soldiers took the money and did as they were instructed. And this story has been widely circulated among the Jews to this very day.

JESUS APPEARS TO MARY MAGDALENE
(Jhn. 20:10-18)

Then the disciples went back to their homes, but Mary stood outside the tomb crying. As she wept, she bent over to look into the tomb and saw two angels in white, seated where Jesus’ body had been, one at the head and the other at the foot. They asked her, “Woman, why are you crying?” “They have taken my Lord away,” she said, “and I don’t know where they have put him.” At this, she turned around and saw Jesus standing there, but she did not realize that it was Jesus. “Woman,” he said, “why are you crying? Who is it you are looking for?” Thinking he was the gardener, she said, “Sir, if you have carried him away, tell me where you have put him, and I will get him.” Jesus said to her, “Mary.” She turned toward him and cried out in Aramaic, “Rabboni!” (Which means Teacher). Jesus said, “Do not hold on to me, for I have not yet returned to the Father. Go instead to my brothers and tell them, ‘I am returning to my Father and your Father, to my God and your God.’” Mary Magdalene went to the disciples with the news: “I have seen the Lord!” And she told them that he had said these things to her.

I'm new to the forum, and I'm going to jump right in here!

Hey Pahu! I was you a few years ago. I did a report in my Southern Baptist middle school about how evolution was a big conspiracy theory and creation was the only real way that made sense. I got straight A's.

Since then, I have read many books on astronomy, biology, chemistry, and whatnot that first gave me the clue that the whole Bible timeline might be a little off. Sometimes I would read something that I would think fit into my little box of religion, and I would feel empowered. Eventually, I decided that Genesis should be loosely interpreted to mean each "day" meant millions or billions of years. I mean, God told this to shepherds. How were they supposed to understand that? Maybe they were confused when they wrote it down. Evolution made too much sense to me when I finally read about it from credible sources. I know other people have suggested this, but Richard Dawkins explains evolution beautifully.

Believe in God if you want. But you can understand evolution at the same time. You have obviously come to this forum to convert some peeps. Maybe it is your ministry? It has always bothered me the way Christians are ready to discount science when it does not fit inside your little, tiny box. This has larger implications for society as a whole, and that is one reason we are in the state we are at this time. There are many prominent Christians that believe in evolution. The age of the internet is a savior and curse. You can post all these websites that align with your preconceived beliefs. It is this slippery slope that has led to the dumbing down of society.

You have a distrust of science. If a government agency or an academic conveys knowledge that does not align with your beliefs, you distrust them. Suddenly, the CDC, the EPA, Health and Human Services, scientists, doctors, universities are not only wrong but they are actively against you. This mindset is causing a rift in our society.

This long rant comes down to this: evolution was discovered and studied by men and women who love the universe in which they live, and it excites them to know more about it. Try to discover this excitement for yourself.

If a day meant millions or billions of years, explain how the grass and trees, which were created on the third day, survived for millions or billions of years without the insects, created on the fifth day, needed for reproduction.
Believe in God if you want.
Don't you believe in God? Before the universe existed there was nothing from which it appeared, which is impossible by any natural cause. Therefor the cause of the universe was supernatural, proving God exists.
But you can understand evolution at the same time.
How can you believe in God and evolution? God reveals He created everything. Evolution teaches everything created itself. How can this contradiction be reconciled?

Christians do not believe in the evolution myth. Evolution is evidence free speculation disguised as science. Evolution has led to the dumbing down of society.

I do not distrust science. If you will review my past articles, that have not been deleted by the administration, you will see how science disproves evolution.

No, evolution was created by people who tried to explain creation without a Creator.

That is exactly what they say:

Matthew 26:18 And He said, "Go into the city to a certain man, and say to him, 'The Teacher says, "My time is at hand; I will keep the Passover at your house with My disciples." ' " 20 When evening had come, He sat down with the twelve.

Mark 14:14 Wherever he goes in, say to the master of the house, 'The Teacher says, "Where is the guest room in which I may eat the Passover with My disciples?" ' 17 In the evening He came with the twelve.

Luke 22:11 Then you shall say to the master of the house, 'The Teacher says to you, "Where is the guest room where I may eat the Passover with My disciples?" '

Luke 22:15 Then He said to them, "With fervent desire I have desired to eat this Passover with you before I suffer.

Ape-Men? 6

For about 100 years the world was led to believe that Neanderthal man was stooped and apelike. This false idea was based upon some Neanderthals with bone diseases such as arthritis and rickets (v). Recent dental and x-ray studies of Neanderthals suggest that they were humans who matured at a slower rate and lived to be much older than people today (w). Neanderthal man, Heidelberg man, and Cro-Magnon man are now considered completely human. Artists’ drawings of “ape-men,” especially their fleshy portions, are often quite imaginative and are not supported by the evidence (x).

Furthermore, the techniques used to date these fossils are highly questionable. [See pages 36-42]

That is exactly what they say:
Oh dear, Pahu! Did you really think that I wouldn't that you dodged my question: "What day did Jesus die on?" and instead answered one I didn't ask, i.e. "When was the passover meal eaten?". You also somehow omitted to mention John 19 xiv "It was the day of Preparation of the Passover (i.e. the day before); If as Mark says, he died at 3pm, it was not on the day of the Passover, which didn't begin till dusk.

We also have a discrepancy between Mark 15 xxxvii-xxxviii which has the temple veil being torn after Jesus died and Luke 23 xlv which has it being torn before. Can't both be true! (well, of course, none of it is true, but that's a different point.)

I think that this is an excellent challenge to Pahu, and can relate to some of it personally. I was on the Theologica forum for several years, and it was interesting to see the different ways that evangelicals reacted to the challenge of science and evolution. One of the most fundy of the fundies, someone called Marv, subscribed to the notion that "days" meant millions of years (as do the Jehovah Witnesses). So, looking at Pahu's rejoinder to your attack on this gloss on the Bible, I must conclude that he outfundies the Theologica fundies because he will not even move this far from a literalist interpretation of the Bible - he insists that "day" means "day" and nothing else! I am glad that you mention conspiracy theories, since the need to posit a conspiracy theory IMO casts doubt on the reliability of any world viewpoint, not just the fundamentalist Xian one, and I also think that you are right when you suggest that willingness to implicate all others who disagree with you in some sort of conspiracy is a depressing and possibly dangerous trend in modern society

Fossil Man

Bones of modern-looking humans have been found deep in undisturbed rocks that, according to evolution, were formed long before man began to evolve. Examples include the Castenedolo skeletons (a), Reck’s skeleton (b), and possibly others  (c). Remains such as the Swanscombe skull, the Steinheim fossil, and the Vertesszöllos fossil present similar problems (d). Evolutionists almost always ignore these remains.

a. Bowden, pp. 78–79.

Frank W. Cousins, Fossil Man (Imsworth, England: A. E. Norris & Sons Ltd., 1971), pp. 50–52, 82, 83.

W. H. B., “Alleged Discovery of An Ancient Human Skull in California,” American Journal of Science, Vol. 2, 1866, p. 424.

Edward C. Lain and Robert E. Gentet, “The Case for the Calaveras Skull,” Creation Research Society Quarterly, Vol. 33, March 1997, pp. 248–256.

For many years, a story circulated that the Calaveras skull, buried 130 feet below ground, was a practical joke. This tidy explanation conveniently overlooks the hundreds of human bones and artifacts (such as spearheads, mortars and pestles, and dozens of bowls made of stone) found in that part of California. These artifacts have been found over the years under undisturbed strata and a layer of basaltic lava that evolutionists would date at 25 million years old—too old to be human.  See, for example:
Whitney, pp. 262–264, 266, 274–276.

G. Frederick Wright, Man and the Glacial Period (New York: D. Appleton and Co., 1897), pp. 294–301.

George F. Becker, “Antiquities from under Tuolumne Table Mountain in California,” Bulletin of the Geological Society of America, Vol. 2, 20 February 1891, pp. 189–200.

b. Bowden, pp. 78–79.

Cousins and Whitney state that the Calaveras was fossilized. This does not mean that it was pre-flood. Fossilization depends on chemistry much more than time. Cousins, pp. 48-50, 81.

Sir Arthur Keith correctly stated the dilemma evolutionists face with the Castenedolo skeletons:

“As the student of prehistoric man reads and studies the records of the ‘Castenedolo’ find, a feeling of incredulity rises within him. He cannot reject the discovery as false without doing an injury to his sense of truth, and he cannot accept it as a fact without shattering his accepted beliefs.” Arthur Keith, The Antiquity of Man (London: Williams and Norgate, Ltd., 1925), p. 334.

However, after examining the strata above and below the Castenedolo skeletons, and after finding no indication that they were intrusively buried, Keith surprisingly concluded that the enigma must be resolved by an intrusive burial. He justified this by citing the unfossilized condition of the bones. However, these bones were encased in a clay layer. Clay would prevent water from transporting large amounts of dissolved minerals into the bone cells and explain the lack of fossilization. Again, fossilization depends much more on chemistry than age.

c. Bowden, pp. 183–193.

d. Ibid., pp. 79–88.

e. Fix, pp. 98–105.
