Even if we had all the pieces of the puzzles Shelby would be asking for the missing links to the missing links, then the missing links to those missing links.

I don't depend on the evolution theory to come to a conclusion that god does not exist. Once a person starts asking questions about everything the most logical conclusion will be that there is no god. The god concept does not stand up to the rigorous standards of the scientific method.

Aguest, How about this. Those are news articles. Post a link to any scientific journal of your choice of a critic that poses the hypothesis of homo floresiensis being a deformed human and let's go through it.

And just so you know, we did not come from homo floresiensis. Critics are only arguing if it was a new species or not. So that means that even if the critics are right it does not affect the theory of homo sapien evolution.

Aguest,

Did you read the next two paragraphs?

The feud has played out in top scientific journals. But a growing consensus has emerged among experts on human origin that this is indeed a separate and primitive species that lived in relatively modern times - 17,000 to 100,000 years ago. The November issue of the highly respected Journal of Human Evolution was dedicated to the Flores findings and included a dozen studies supporting the hobbit as a new species.

Chris Stringer, research leader in human origins at the Natural History Museum in London, said the critics are "very much in the minority now." He said that he just returned from a meeting in Arizona of more than two dozen experts on human origins and found widespread support there for the new-species theory. No one, he said, "took the view that this was some weird, pathological freak."

Why This Atheist Respects the Jehovah's Witnesses-And why other Atheists should too!

by RaustBD in

i'm an atheist, and i'd like to take some time to talk about why i hold a great deal of respect for the jehovah's witnesses, and some words of encouragement that may put an end to the ridicule and disrespect you seem to get from, well, all sorts of people.. .

i never gave this kind of criticism a second thought: i knew nothing about you, and i figured you were just another fringe group of christianity.

i now feel terrible about this, and i wish to apologize for my (admittedly never spoken) disrespect.
