Grulg Posted October 27, 2004 Share Posted October 27, 2004 Maybe we can find orcs and elves next? Snippet: "Scientists in Australia have found a new species of hobbit-sized humans who lived about 18,000 years ago on an Indonesian island in a discovery that adds another piece to the complex puzzle of human evolution. The partial skeleton of Homo floresiensis, found in a cave on the island of Flores, is of an adult female that was a metre (3 feet) tall, had a chimpanzee-sized brain and was substantially different from modern humans. It shared the isolated island to the east of Java with miniature elephants and Komodo dragons. The creature walked upright, probably evolved into its dwarf size because of environmental conditions and coexisted with modern humans in the region for thousands of years." Read More...

Martok Posted October 28, 2004 Share Posted October 28, 2004 Saw that on the news tonight. Most likely just an abnormality...... Kind of interesting though! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Narbis Kentrol Posted November 11, 2004 Share Posted November 11, 2004 of course it's an abnormality. First, the thing CAN'T be 18k years old, the Earth ain't even that old. Second, humans HAVE been getting taller over the years (too bad I'm only considered tall for about 100 years ago ). There were short people even among the short people.

Narbis Kentrol Posted November 12, 2004 Share Posted November 12, 2004 Uhhh... the earth is estimated to be only a couple thousand years old, duder. both argon-potassium dating and carbon-14 dating have been proven faulty under conditions of extreme heat and extreme pressure, adding millions and billions of years to age/date estimations. Either one of those conditions exists in fossils, as fossils are created only under conditions of extreme heat and/or extreme pressure, including lava and deep layers of rock under which such fossils are buried.

Narbis Kentrol Posted November 12, 2004 Share Posted November 12, 2004 and don't forget the perfect environmental circumstances under which this planet exists...... it's impossible to think at the current rate of decay that such circumstances have existed indefintily prior to now. --Narbis Kentrol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rhoach Posted November 12, 2004 Share Posted November 12, 2004 Ok then. Have fun taking that up with the entire global community of archaeologists. Feh. This isn't worth my time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Narbis Kentrol Posted November 15, 2004 Share Posted November 15, 2004 Ok then. Have fun taking that up with the entire global community of archaeologists. yep... the majority of whom believe the Earth CANNOT be millions of years old, due to evidence found every day in support of the young earth belief. Besides, fossils cannot b used as proof of evolution.... we can't prove that any specific fossil ever reproduced.... much less that it gave birth to a different species. You have fun taking your 'Old Earth' and evolution beliefs up against a panel of experienced and intelligent scientists(i.e.- paleontologists, biologists, chemists, and archaeologists) --Tim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Borg Posted November 20, 2004 Share Posted November 20, 2004 closing topic. For the record..... Ive been here on this rock for now over 38 million years... thursday marked that new milestone. Don't sweat the small stuff (wink).... it all comes and goes..... is born, lives and dies and then... eventually replaced with a new improved version.
