Missing Link Found Between Human Ancestors

simetra writes "Researchers with a University of California, Berkeley team are now saying they have 'proof' of human evolution. Fossils have been found linking two types of pre-human species." From the article: "The remains of eight individuals found in the northeastern Afar region of Ethiopia belonged to the species Australopithecus anamensis -- part of the Australopithecus genus thought to be a direct ancestor to humans, according to a report due to be published Thursday in Nature magazine. 'The fossils are anatomically intermediate between the earlier species Ardipithecus ramidus and the later species Australopithecus afarensis,' he said."

No, they've just created two more missing links!

But where are the fossils linking the earlier and later species to this new one, huh? Huh?

(Trust me, that's what they'll say. Our puny reason, logic, and data is useless against their advanced willful ignorance!)

What is this talk of God and Evolution?

[Chris Bradshaw]

God? Ahhh, you must be referring to the almighty Flying Spaghetti Monster, least we all need be reminded that it was and is by his noodly appendage that all thing were and are created.

Not to mention that it was he who put the fossils there 6000 years ago in order to test our faith in him...
