Scientists unveil fossil of 47 million-year-old primate

May 20th, 2009 8:15 pm by neitham

A team of researchers Tuesday unveiled an almost perfectly intact fossil of a 47 million-year-old primate they say represents the long-sought missing link between humans and apes. Officially known as Darwinius masillae, the fossil of the lemur-like creature dubbed Ida shows it had opposable thumbs like humans and fingernails instead of claws.

    The missing lynx, they say. Can’t be, lynk looks more like a cat. The writer of Generis (not the pop group with Phil Collins, but one of the Holy Scriptures) said we humans (also known as homo sapiens) were made by God (in His likeness (no less) , not decendants of some primates.
    No fossils can prove the missing link (right spelling this time) proves monkeys and humans are related.

    True Borat, the missing link was not necessary. (If such a thing exists.) Theory of evolution has not, thus far, been disproved. So it stands.

    I am of those person who believes that GOD did not create all things in 6 days though HE is capable of. ;-)

    It could even be that GOD also followed the evolution theory to create humans in the present form or slightly different from the present.

    Looking ourselves at our mirrors, don’t you think we are might look almost completely different from our 1-2 centuries ancestors in facial features, height, etc?

    It is said in the BIBLE that GOD created living things. Do you have the proof? What proof other that what is said in the BIBLE? As we talked of the BIBLE, how was it edited? Through the BREATH/HOLY SPIRIT of GOD herself/himself and not by man? How do one justify that? How many Gospels and Books were emitted from those of many?

    I also believe GOD has principles and belief that is to be followed by he MAN and LIVING THINGS that he created.

    Please read Bible and Science written by Dr PC Biaksiama am sure you will realise Bible story has been proved right bit by bit and more are expected

    Well any clever guy who not really doing any research or read what the researcher’s works are in the habit of giving comment like “i don’t believe” I for one have firm belief -
    I believe in God
    Father Almighty
    Creator of Heaven and Earth
    and His son Jesus Christ
    born on Virgin Mary
    dot dot dot
    He died and buried

    Theories may often contradict the Truth, but true science will never contradict natural observations made in the Bible.

    Borat, according to science we are not merely “related” to primates, we ARE primates. I’m sure you accept science.
