Creationists Present Evidence of Transitional Fossils

This was simply too funny not to share!

This was brought to my attention by Prof. Ken Miller of Brown University within his book:

Miller, Kenneth (2008). Only A Theory Evolution and the Battle for Americas Soul. NY: Viking. pp. 94-5.

Who in turn received this information from an article written by James Foley from TalkOrigins, available at http://www.talkorigins.org/faqs/homs/compare.html.




Notes

1) In the 2nd edition of Bones of Contention (2004), Lubenow is not quite as certain as before that ER 1470 is human, stating (p.310) that "[ER 1470] has a cranial capacity of 800 cc and may well be human." He ends his discussion of the fossil (p.329) with: "Having said all that, I have still put a question mark by it. What we can say at the present time is that there is no compelling reason why it could not be human." In other words, hes not entirely sure.

2) Line quotes from Wolpoff's Paleoanthropology (1999) which talks about the similarities between ER 1813 and Homo erectus, and concludes "If the evaluation of KNM-ER 1813 by White and Wolpoff is correct, then this cranium, with a cranial capacity of only about 509 cm3 may have belonged to a very small human." In other words, hes not entirely sure.

3) Line says of ER 1470: "Although a gorilla skull has been found with the same cranial capacity (752 cm3) as that of KNM-ER 1470, the cranium of the latter is much more likely that of a human than an ape." In other words, hes not entirely sure.
