Ida met the challenge

My response to the new VenomFangX, GEERUP, and his associate in disguise, SableChicken, regarding their sad analysis of science, evolution, paleontology, and how to identify transitional species.

cont....."Ida," a "missing link" found in Germany, is an exceptionally well-preserved fossil primate and is being hailed by some as a milestone in human evolution" It seems IDA did not meet the challenge & yet must still must go through ever changing goal post. And you are wrong. It was actually the press release that came months before you posted video.

[AronRa]

@benthemiester Show me the press release. Ida obviously did meet the challenge, as I explained in this video, by citing the goal post which was anchored firmly in place in the previous video. Why do you have so much vitriol when you're apparently wrong about everything you claim or believe? Or have I just answered my own question?

[AronRa]

@benthemiester You say you want other people to know about the prediction I made, but you obviously you don't know what it was yourself, nor how it was vindicated.  Ida wasn't announced to be a 'dud', she was proven to be exactly what I predicted she would be months before that announcement.

[AronRa]

@benthemiester Casey Luskin told me once that he accepted evolution too. Then he went on to explain how he didn't really accept evolution at all. Behe did the same thing. That's why he testified against evolution on trial -and why he participated on the creationists' side of the collective anti-evolution debates a couple years before that trial even took place.

manx are variable in tail length. though the gene or set of associated genes that distinguish manx cats from other cats also affect a lot of other features. Whether or not the Manx has one copy or two of the manx gene affects tail length though two copies can sometimes cause a lack of part of the lower spine.

@AronRa If I may be so bold as to answer a question directed at someone else, I suspect the answer to your question, Aron, is that "benthemiester" has an over-sized amygdala.

That bird makes me so happy.

@benthemiester he never said it was dud. he explained specificaly that it was link in primape evolution between wet nose primapes and dry nose primapes. aka, between lemurs and monkeys. he never said that it was dud, but that its not "the missing link" between humans and other apes. but it was link between wet nose primapes and monkeys.

LMAO... Ida's foot isn't the same size as the human's foot, oh my! Evidently GEERUP must believe we all wear the same size shoes.

Geerup's sheer idiocy shows through as every word out of his mouth is sheer retardation.

[xJoeEDangerouslyx]

Geerup: I hate evidence!

AronRa: But you like magic?

Geerup: Screw you! I can make my own evidence! Meanie!

AronRa: No, that would be dishonest.

Geerup: You're a jerk! Atheists are all out to get me and turn me into a Godless Heathen!

AronRa: Wrong again, Bob!

(Aron proceeds to dismantle and embarrass Geerup in front of all his friends)

Geerup: Well... Well... Um, There is a conspiracy!

(Geerup rocks back and forth in the corner crying and muttering to himself)

On May 19, 2009, the team revealed their findings to the world at a press conference, simultaneously with online publication of the paper in PLoS ONE (for naming purposes, the paper was officially published in print on May 21, 2009). The paper included a statement that the authors were not advocating the possibility that the species could be ancestral to later anthropoid primates. Wikipedia and sourced......
