  • I got a little emotional about 9:43.

  • @jacksawild they wait so long because they have to study the fossil. You know Ardi? He was found back in 1995 and nothing was released until 10 years later. why? because proper analysis needs to be done before releasing anything to an ignorant public.

  • @blazereef No it isn't. Correction is what peer review is all about. They wait so that they get credit and secure funding whereas someone else, if given the chance might be more deserving of the funding instead of the guy who managed to dig some bone out of some dirt. They still deserve credit for knowing where to look, if that is indeed what they were looking for. Otherwise they should get the info out there and let all the experts at it.

  • @jacksawild they wait so they dont publish something which may have been mistakenly took as a transitional fossil, the discovery is told to the public fairly late but its better then showing something which has to be corrected

  • I had to wade through three different videos debunking this to find something I could listen to. This has to stop. I don't like the trend of keeping finds secret until they finish their writeups and get their credit; this also has to stop.

  • I wonder what kind of crap the YECs will come up with for this one.

  • @rogan71 Yes, and they had started from the very first day! Quite a clue of their poor respect for science (the method) where their faith is threatened.

  • Approached with humility and a breathtaking display of modern scientific methods...I notice the creationists are already attempting to debunk it, before it's even been fully examined...Ignore them....Science is not their territory.

  • Spectacular, keep me updated on kaelyncruz64@yahoo please

  • The discovery of this site is nothing short of a miracle, it's a dream come true.
