Gotcha. Thanks for accepting. I really don't want to be on bad terms with anyone. Anyway back on topic... I really don't much about fossils. Just the facts on the animals, not their fossils... hm. |

Like i said to you before... science (including evolution and peleontology) is not a matter of belief. Is all about facts and evidence. We do not choose to believe in it, we accept it because there is EVIDENCE to support it. My advice to you is that you don't talk about things you don't know nothign about. And if you want to have discussion about this i advice you to read about this things by yourself. Look information about how fossils are made, how can they be exposed even if the date from billions of years ago (like someone ALREADY answered you, erosion has a lot to do with this) and read about what carbon 14 really is. I see your confution came from the fact that all living things has carbon as a main element in their molecules. Carbon is an element, not a living organism and carbon 14 is an isotope of carbon. Isotopes are variants of a particular chemical element such that, while all isotopes of a given element share the same number of protons in each atom, they differ in neutron numbers. Carbon 14 is obtained from the radioactive degradation of carbon in their pure form, that is why is used to tell the age of a fossil remain. Like said before, what anoys me is that people talk about things they don't know nothing about. Please lectured your self before doing another post of this kind. And i accept your apologie, i know you don't mean to offend anyone, but you have to understand that all this things are based on facts and evidence and they can't be denied. There is no choice of belief here. Belief is for things that had no explanation whatsever or for things that you think are real but you don't have proof off. Evolution, and PALEONTOLOGY, are build around evidence so everything here is a true fact, not a personal belief. |

And this is what annoys me about paleontology ![]() Radiocarbon dating, C-14 method, isn't used for fossils. It's used for organic materials such as wood, clothing, etc. all not older than 58,000 to 62,000 years. Anything older than that can't be dated with C-14. Therefore anything C-14 related argument to debunk the fossil record is just showing clear lack of knowledge. |

What ticks me off is when people don't believe that humans came from chimp-like apes simply because they find those "nasty chimp-looking things" unappealing. I know a couple of these people. -_- Also, this argument: "IF WE EVOLVED FROM CHIMPZ, DEN WAI DO WE STILL HAVE CHIMPZ?!?!" this argument, is just so... ![]() Though not exactly related to paleontology, it's still an insult to evolution nonetheless.

Wow i didn't know that. I actually thought that it was used to date fossils remains. Well is good to know that i was wrong about then. But i still think the same about the rest of the stuff i said

I'm just going to leave this one here for the evolution and old planet skeptics: http://rationalwiki.org/wiki/Evidence_against_a_recent_creation You can find some damn fine info here. Because when I see posts like the one page before... I flip. |

Guys, this is not a bash creationism topic, please get back to discussing paleontology.

Well, this does relate to paleontology, so as long as no one is offended I think it's fine.

I'm not trying to offend anyone, but this is something I've always wondered. If early man was a hybrid, or freak of nature if you will, how could it reproduce? Hybrids like zorses, mules, and ligers can't reproduce, so how could early man? |

I do not understand your question. Early man was not a hybrid - later on, the two early hominid species did interbreed minimally, but they were very closely related; it was like two finches interbreeding. Fertile offspring resulted. We all carry a few Neanderthal genes today. But overall... early man wasn't a hybrid... a hybrid of what? Are you assuming that evolution just one day produced a man from a monkey, and are asking what he bred with? It doesn't happen that suddenly... |

Well, then how did the universe come to be from your point of view. If an amoeba just popped out thin air floating around in space, where did the things that made the cell or whatever come from?

I'm sorry Aardvark... but where are you getting this information? Absolutely nothing you have ever said in this topic has any merit as a theory. |

It's all spontaneous generation. The only thing that comes to my mind when I hear evolution is, "nothing living, can come out of something dead." Darwin himself even said something as simple as the honeybee's pheromones disproved his theory. He said on his deathbed everything he thought up was false. He was training to be a pastor, but the death of his infant daughter causes him to urn away from God, so he developed the theory of evolution. However, who has more devotion, the average evolutionist, or the average Christian. I'd have to say the average evolutionist. That, I say, is us Christian's undoing.
