so this jaw bone of early man has been dated at 2.8 million years old.
that means that given a margin for error and allowing an unknown but short period of time for adam naming the animals the 1000 years starts in ummm, eerrr.
@ Mandrake: "OR the shape of the mandible were more of a V than a U."
My understanding is that Austrolopithecines had a V shaped jaw which appears to be the case with the image Perry posted. That species, 3 million years ago, had a cranial capacity that averaged 450cc whereas ours is 1100cc.
hi people, may i firstly thank those who have responded to to my intro article, i am replying to you all as a new topic because the direct messaging is not working for me at the moment so i can clarify my perspective on bible study.
yes there are many arguments that are put forward to demonstrate for example that the bible has been composed of numerous preexisting creation story's ect, my focus is to give the bible the same opportunity to defend itself as anyone reasonably expects if charged with some crime they are not guilty of.. i find for example the account of jesus response when questioned about the divorce certificate 'but it was not so in the beginning' confirms that moses allowed changes to be made to the original, that said consider also the religious traditions moses people had been exposed to, the story of the god enki who seduced even his own grandchildren and the well known incest of the egyptian royalty, given the genetic cost, are such practices any more right now than they were then?
communities that practice close relative marriages today are well documented for there higher risk of numerous health problems so how would you find moses on that basis, guilty or not guilty as jesus did because he understood why moses took the creation story's of other cultures and gave his people there own creation story that taught them to avoid the general pagan practice of incest.before looking any deeper at moses creation story may i also ask the question why does jesus knowing that god promised he would never again destroy the world by a flood as he did in noah's day say 'as in the days of noah ..the flood came and took them all away' so what did jesus actually mean mt 24:.

@ Perry
And yet science works to give us all the technological marvels because it is a self corrective process. That's what the process of peer review is all about. If all scientists lied all the time nothing scientific would work since it would be based on incorrect information. We would not have all the technological marvels that we have and would find ourselves at a 19th century level of technology if all science were fraud.
The Scientific American article that you quoted refers to "some" scientists.

@ Perry: "Amazing how these "3 million" year old molars look identical to "modern" molars."
The shape of teeth varies depending on the diet of the species. If they were omnivorous, like we are, those teeth would be similar to ours.
bart ehrman noticed, in his book "god's problem", the fact that god was responsible for job's pain.
to show it, bart quoted the following verse:.
and they showed him sympathy and comforted him for all the evil that the lord had brought upon him.
@ Perry: "The idea that God is evil and satan is good is an old gnostic heresy."
I forget where but there is a biblical passage that says that God is the maker of both good and evil.
what a spirited, brilliant speech isreali pm mr. nethanyahu delivered yesterday to the congress against the negotiated nuclear deal with iran which israel fears would make iran a legitimate nuclear power with the ability to wipe out israel.
(http://www.theguardian.com/world/2015/mar/03/netanyuahu-congress-iran-nuclear-deal-path-to-bomb).
he also said: if no one supports, israel would defend itself alone.
i've seen a few postings of a possible "next date" for dubs of 2034. based on an article they published comparing the last days to the days of noah.
preaching for 120 years.
however, i noticed a little tidbit from wiki about age:.
They would need to drop the "overlapping generation" teaching before they replace it with the Noah's flood generation. It wouldn't add up since Jesus spoke of a single generation but hell, nothing adds up in JWdom.
I think that those who believe the Watchtower will implode completely are a little optimistic. They may lose a lot of members like in Rutherford's day but they came out of that stronger.
caleb states, "now i can speak to chinese people.
" ummm, there are many chinese people that speak english, caleb.

hey put a good video out about the evil toys on the market and the possibility of making jehovah very very sad by having these things in your house and demons start to party on your sofa.
then wait a couple of weeks and offer a entire line of acceptable toys and charge the hypnotized families a stiff price/suggested contribution.
could make a few million and help pay off some of these child molestation lawsuits.. i can just see tony morris singing 'rubber ducky' and offering the latest marketing scam of a toy that don't make jehovah so sad.
