Possible Missing Link

[warri0r45]

EDIT: Fastortise, have you heard of the pentadactyl limb ? Sure it may be more practical and logical to classify organisms based on their DNA relatedness, but that is not visible to the eye. Taxonomists arrange it that way because you can see a logical and easy to understand progression of, well "the body".

 

Sure I've heard of an arm before :lol:

 

But seriously, even though it's a pretty accurate way for detecting common ancestry, the pentadactyl limb only applies to tetrapods. I'm talking about a universal tree for ALL species, and since the only thing that unifies all living organisms is DNA, I want to see a DNA-tree.

 

 

 

Are you familiar with 16S/18S ribosomal RNA trees? Carl Woese basically showed that Archaea exist based on work with RNA trees.

I think God creates these kind of things to test our faith in Him.

 

 

 

But nevertheless, an interesting find.

As much as atheists complain about some people trying to force religion down their throats, the same can be said every time they make a discovery. One of them just has to be right.

 

 

 

Let's see how much of an impact this has on the world. It's funny the article uses the holy grail and the holy ark to make an image of how "important" this discovery is.

Just because I don't agree with some of the ideas behind the discovery doesn't make it less interesting

 

While I don't believe it has anything to do with evolutions, it is still an interesting find of an extinct animal....

How does it not have anything to do with evolution?

Because evolution isn't real

It has move evidence than god. Since the bible is just propaganda for god it can't really be claimed as proof. Besides that even if you do believe in god it's just kinda ignorant to claim evolution isn't real.

meh, you have your beliefs and I'll have mine, just don't insult me because of mine, and it's all good

[Giordano]

I don't believe in gravity...all of physics is A LIE. Dunt insult me pls, kthxbai.

I never insulted you, just said your beliefs had no proof whatsoever.

That's basically insulting... :|

 

 

 

I hate religion and science because of the people who argue over it. People need to STFU and live their lives.

No it's not. it's a fact that the bible had no proof to base itself off of. Besides the Noah's ark story, there is probably some truth to that.

Except with 2 of every animal, they'd become massively inbred over time.

I said some...

[Kiriyama]

Meh, I don't see how any of it could be true.

 

 

 

A flood for 40 days and 40 night, sure, but nothing else.

[Nenga]

I go off the basis that almost everyone has a story about a flood. It has never happened in the history of man that everyone has made up the same story. The time frame was just for dramatic effect I think.

Actually, there is an interesting scientific theory about a flood that covered all or nearly all of the human living area some time in ancient history. I forget specifics but something about a land slide releasing a giant lake into the valley were most humans lived.

God doesn't test. The devil does.

Assuming you are speaking from the bible, I disagree.

 

 

 

I recall the story of Job that was tested by god and the devil together to see if he was a true believer. Took his property, killed family, gave him leprosy and so on to see if he would turn against god.

The name escapes me right now but I recall the story of (lazarus?) that was tested by god and the devil together to see if he was a true believer. Took his property, killed family, gave him leprosy and so on to see if he would turn against god.

 

 

 

That was Job.

Thanks, post fixed

 

 

 

On topic, its rather interesting to see this but I wonder how signifigant the find is. We have seen plenty of inbetweens between monkeys and people, the main thing is that is this close enough to the middle to be shocking. Although the slow construction of a timeline is very useful, people are drawn to sensationalism so a good missing link is needed in a way to help win the debate.
