Missing Link
by SickofLies inaddis ababa, ethiopia (ap) -- scientists in northeastern ethiopia said saturday that they have discovered the skull of a small human ancestor that could be a missing link between the extinct homo erectus and modern man.
the hominid cranium -- found in two pieces and believed to be between 500,000 and 250,000 years old -- "comes from a very significant period and is very close to the appearance of the anatomically modern human," said sileshi semaw, director of the gona paleoanthropological research project in ethiopia.. archaeologists found the early human cranium five weeks ago at gawis in ethiopia's northeastern afar region, sileshi said.. several stone tools and fossilized animals including two types of pigs, zebras, elephants, antelopes, cats, and rodents were also found at the site.. sileshi, an ethiopian paleoanthropologist based at indiana university, said most fossil hominids are found in pieces but the near-complete skull -- a rare find -- provided a wealth of information.. "the gawis cranium provides us with the opportunity to look at the face of one of our ancestors," the archaeology project said in a statement.. homo erectus, which many believe was an ancestor of modern homo sapiens, is thought to have died out 100,000 to 200,000 years ago.. the cranium dates to a time about which little is known -- the transition from african homo erectus to modern humans.
the fossil record from africa for this period is sparse and most of the specimens poorly dated, project archaeologists said.. the face and cranium of the fossil are recognizably different from those of modern humans, but bear unmistakable anatomical evidence that it belongs to the modern human's ancestry, sileshi said.. "a good fossil provides anatomical evidence that allows us to refine our understanding of evolution.

Atheism & Postmodernism
by SickofLies inthe whole structure of postmodernism is built on a new view of the limits of reason.
science seems to confirm that reason only takes us so far.
it is very good for solving practical problems, but not for solving the mysteries of the universe.

Charles Russell vs. Charles Darwin
by SickofLies in"when a prophet speaketh in the name of jehovah, if the thing follow not, nor come to pass, that is the thing which jehovah hath not spoken: the prophet hath spoken it presumptuously, thou shalt not be afraid of him.
" (asv).
the question is: who is the real false profit here?

Do Unto Others
by SickofLies ina recent pew poll (http://ncronline.org/ncr_online/archives2/2006a/032406/032406h.htm) shows that the religious are more likely to favor torture than the secular.

reza explained that in all religions the prophets don't invent the religions, but that "they take the social, and cultural, economic and political milieu they live in and and reshape it they recast it.

A Racist State?
by SickofLies inthe israel lobby
http://www.lrb.co.uk/v28/n06/mear01_.htmlsome aspects of israeli democracy are at odds with core american values.
unlike the us, where people are supposed to enjoy equal rights irrespective of race, religion or ethnicity, israel was explicitly founded as a jewish state and citizenship is based on the principle of blood kinship.. isn't that the definition of a racist state?
