    QC in yor entire JWN history you have never answered a single challenge to your dogma. Why not?

    So it "doesn't matter" that there was a verifiable (by chemical DNA testing) separate hominid species with advanced social constructs and toolmaking skills that lived paralell to modern humans? I'd say that's a pretty big freaking deal.

    Its been seven months since QC claimed that evolutionary theory was finished, strangely I havent seen a single scientific journal pick up this amazing piece of news. Why has no scientist decided to stake his or her place in history by publishing the astonishing evidence that disproves evolution?

    I think there must be a conspiracy in every scientific journal to keep the truth from the people.

    Either QC is willfully ignorant and keeping himself stupid on purpose OR he is an epic troll.

    VANCOUVER - An international team of researchers has uncovered a treasure trove of fossils dating back half a billion years in a mountain park in British Columbia — a discovery that could help further explain the evolution of life.

    ……

    After just two weeks at the Kootenay National Park site, the researchers identified 50 individual species, including about 12 that had never been seen before, which Jean-Bernard Caron hopes is just the beginning.

    "Indeed, it was absolutely wonderful, and we found a lot of fossils," said Caron, a team member and curator at the Royal Ontario Museum. "We were certainly the first human eyes to find them there."

    Caron said the discovery will help researchers better understand the sudden explosion of animal life during the Cambrian Period, which was about 500 million years ago. Back then — about 250 million years before the first dinosaurs — the coastline around Vancouver would have been located in the tropics.

    Caron said researchers found mostly invertebrates, animals without a backbone or spinal column, known as arthropods, a group that includes insects, spiders, lobsters, crabs and shrimp. The animals' eyes, legs and soft tissue, such as gut and gut contents, were preserved, he said.

    New Cambrian Explosion fossil find deepens Darwin's dilemma

    Discovery Institute

    A spectacular new discovery of Cambrian animal fossils has intensified a source of doubt that troubled Darwin about his theory, according to scientific researchers at Discovery Institute.

    About 26 miles from the famous Walcott quarry, a new exposure of Burgess Shale fossils has come to light. Called the Marble Canyon quarry, this fossil assemblage, reported in Scientific American, Nature Communications, and elsewhere, appears to be larger and more detailed than its neighbor, famous as a World Heritage Site.

    “This new location sheds no new light on what might have caused the origin of all these new animal forms,” said Dr. Stephen C. Meyer, author of the New York Times bestseller Darwin’s Doubt. “Instead, it intensifies the problem of the Cambrian explosion, because it contains fossils previously known only from China.”

    That is despite hopeful claims that this new outcrop “offers new insights” into “the initial diversification of metazoans” (a euphemism for the sudden appearance of entirely new animal body plans), it has provided no new insight into the causes of the Cambrian explosion.

    “All of the animals, including the new ones, fit into existing Cambrian phyla,” explained Meyer. “No transitional intermediates have been discovered.”

    “What’s important to understand is how suddenly, geologically the new body plans emerge,” said Casey Luskin, research director at Discovery Institute’s Center for Science & Culture. “Even if one were to take the most generous evolutionary estimate for the length of the Cambrian explosion, it would not allow enough time for natural selection and random mutations to do the job.”

    All the animals are complex at their first appearance. The first trilobite is 100% trilobite, complete with jointed appendages, eyes, and internal organs. No “pre-trilobites” or “half-trilobites” are found. The same is true for all the other animals discovered there.

    Right after the Cosmic Big Bang beginning, "inflation" expanded the universe by 100 trillion trillion times in less than a fraction of a second, from the size of a proton (infinitesimal) to the size of a marble. Today (3/17/2012), confirmation of this prediction was announced by the American team BICEP2 working on this project.

    Here is the godfather of this theory hearing the news for the first time. Sounds like a physics Nobel Prize is headed his way.

    This inflation confirmation constrains the energies involved—at 10,000 trillion gigaelectronvolts. This is consistent with ideas for what is termed Grand Unified Theory. Particle physicists believe the three fundamental forces in nature (Electromagnetic, Strong Nuclear, and Weak Nuclear) can be unified with the fourth force (Gravity). These gravitational waves, associated with an epoch “inflation” event when subatomic quantum effects were so dominant, place scientists closer to the prospect of pulling nature's forces—with elusive gravity itself—into a the Grand Unified Theory of everything. There is an overarching master plan!

    So, we see the Cambrian Explosion (big bang creation of life) and the Cosmic Big Bang (creation of the universe) converge similar realizations. The entire world that we see has a powerful and magnificent maestro.

    So your answer to the question is......?

    He has no real question. It's all an attempt to obfuscate, throw up numbers without context and conflagrate unrelated topics so therefore Jesus.

    Jon, Viviane, Caedes and Slip:

    Guys, this thread is encouragement, you have time to rethink your positions. We're seeing more and more evidence there is a God.

    As you rethink stir clear of crippling distractions:

    1 Evolution

    2 JW GB leadership

    3 4th century theology

    4 Hatred of God

    5 Hatred of neighbor
