Those crazy facts, always getting in the way of faith. ;)

Prehistoric Skeleton Sparks Evolution Debate Between Christians & Scientists

by Michelle Vu, Christian Today Correspondent

A prehistoric skeleton found in Kenya has sparked a new round of creation versus evolution debate between Christians and scientists.

Kenyan evangelical leaders are demanding that Turkana boy – the most complete prehistoric human ever found – be place in a backroom with a sign cautioning that evolution is a theory during the upcoming exhibit at the famed National Museum of Kenya.
“I did not evolve from Turkana Boy or anything like it,” says Bishop Boniface Adoyo, who is heading a campaign against evolution, according to The Associated Press. “These sorts of silly views are killing our faith.”

Oh, c'mon. You know the devil planted them there to test people's faith. That's why you must believe even harder when presented with overwhelming evidence to the contrary. Christianity is convenient like that. :rolleyes:

The question is, "where did the Devil get all those old bones?" ;)
 
So is it more believable that an invisible being in the sky created man from clay?



Or...was that Gumby? Dammit.
 
Last time I was at the Museum of Science and Industry in Chicago I kept muttering to myself "Electricity is only a theory. I wish they'd put up some signs warning people that chemistry is only a theory".

Is Bishop Adoyo almost admitting that reality is killing their faith?
 
What's funny about this is that a lot of Creationist apologists will claim that Turkana Boy is a fully modern human despite being 5 1/2 feet tall and having the brain capacity of a toddler and a jaw three times as massive as any adult I've ever seen. So while Creationists claim he's fully human, the Bishop appears to think he's not.

1/2 credit to the Bishop for realizing H. ergaster is different from H. sapiens.

Gravity is also a theory, but I don't see people floating away ...
