What about these guys?

The Wolphin is the result of the cross breading of a Whale and a Dolphin (Killer Whale and Bottlenose Dolphin)

The Liger is the result of the cross breeding a female Tiger to a male Lion.

The offspring of a male tiger and a lioness is a Tigon .

Geep is a crossbreed of a sheep and a goat.

The "Toast of Botswana" was born naturally from the mating of a female goat with a male sheep that were kept together.

I've noticed one thing whenever browse a creationism site. They always list times that evolution was "wrong". Like when they discovered a coelacanth in the 30's even though they were though to be extinct. The thing is...science gathers all the evidence and tries to find an answer. And sometimes the evidence changes. Religion gives the answer, and then they have to find and sometimes make evidence to support it.
Zealous supporters of the Theory of Evolution have done the same thing.

"We are all are made from stars!!!" Not that I disagree, but could you elaborate?
Not sure is anyone else still wants to get back to this, but without getting into all the physics:
all of the compounds and elements that make up the universe were formed either in stars or as a result of the novi from exploding stars. Without the extreme temps and pressure in the core of stars, there would be only Hydrogen and Helium, and a whole crapload of whatever dark energy is......
The process of creation and destruction continued until a chemical reaction occurred on this rock and biological life appeared, and evolved, and continues to do so. There have been several mass extinctions on planet earth, the most extensive of which killed almost 95% of life on the planet, and made room for dinosaurs. There are some really fun shows on the universe that had to have been meant for smokers to enjoy!

Yup, it's that "This changes everything" thing. :lol:

I don't believe we evolved from micro-organisms or monkeys or whatever (though I would not dismiss it either). Just pointing this out to everyone. It puts up red flags for me because I'm a believer in God. This missing link cannot disprove the existence of God, but it can disprove religious scriptures. Which, I might add, is exactly what a one world religion needs to take place. But that is just speculation of course. :blsmoke:

Anyway, the press conference is in 5 days. Should be fairly interesting.
i think if everyone did lsd once a year everyone would believe in a god but you wouldn't see a single religion that exists today

But im sorry to say that we did evolve from micro organisms. say the planet is formed out of particles of dust and a huge ass gas cloud (which it was) there wasnt a monkey or a human floating in space waiting for the atmosphere to form.

Makes sense, but still doesn't explain our conscious and intelligence compared to other organisms. There's a very large gap from us and everything else. Seems as if we are this way for a particular reason, like we have a role to play.

I guess it's something we will never find out until we're dead, or when the time comes for us to officially know the truth about our beginning. Someday we will know the truth, we can't have something like this not answered for eternity. Whether we dig it up, or alien creatures come down and tell us (more like stop us from destroying ourselves!), or a world messiah from the heavens beyond time comes down to enlighten us. Someday... there will be 100% proof of what is truth and what is mass deception. But that day might be 100, or 1000 years from now. It could be in 3 days. ;-)

Hey dudes, they had the press conference already. Can't find a youtube video to embed, so you'll have to go to the History website. This was actually fairly boring to watch... haha. I'm intrigued by the evolution theory, but this was really lame and not surpising. Doesn't seem like a major breakthrough to me... just more bones to study.

The documentary will premiere today at 9/8pm Central.

And another thing about the fossilized record...It's all jacked up. Just because something is buried in the soil deeper then something else dosen't nessasarily make it older. They use marker species like ancient fish and such to date the rocks millions and millions of years old, then when they find an animal in that layer they say "We KNOW that this animal is X amount of years old because we found this fish in it.
Im going to school for geology, and trust me that is not how they test how old rocks are.....

I saw this on the news, very interesting indeed.

^exactly, they use carbon dating. Because we know the half-life of certain substances, it's quite simple to determine how old a fossil is without relying on anything like what the previous poster mentioned.

To everyone who asked why this is being hyped as a major breakthrough: Because the US is the only advanced-industrialized state where a significant portion of the population refuse to accept evolution as the best available explanation of the origin of species.

im not an atheist but religious people are generally hopeless as far as considering anything other than what they think they know based on nothing but mental training that started when they were very young based on a book written by OTHER HUMANS THOUSANDS OF YEARS AGO. its like arguing with a brick. some of the posts just on this thread make my faith in mankind dwindle. its so sad people cant think on there own and make there own unbiased opinions based on all available info.:confused:

Well that's what I mean, the US is the world's most advanced nation in so many ways...but the most backwards in some others that make absolutely no sense

man tell me about it, some of the conversations ive had with certain family members of mine...goshh it really is like talkin to a brick like you said, they simply dismiss fossils, dinosaurs, how old the earth is etc etc...its like they can be sooo logical and intelligent in any other way, but when it comes to evolution, their brains just block out all the things that obviously contradict their beliefs...they can just dismiss facts...its damn frustrating...

What I find frustrating is the "Fact" that no-one really knows and they could both be factual. Life evolved and is still evolving, but maybe, 6,000 years ago, some entity, call it "God" if you will, came to earth and implanted a spirit into apes or whatever the evolutionary stage of primates was at that time and here we are. There are so many possibilities of when and why we "evolved" into the "human" subspecies we are today, that scientists, (God Bless em) really don't have all the answers.
