I don't get it.

There are no missing links in existence.
There are only missing fosile remains.

It would be cool if this one would close the gap tho

Very intresting
Some evidence to show that maybe we did evolve form apes

Before this it was in question? I'm pretty sure human evolution is pretty firm in saying we evolved from an ape like ancestor.

Im not very good with the whole evolution theory
but wouldnt evolution keep going on?
so that the apes would have kept evolving?

I thought the missing link was my old boss?

I still think i'm right :-)

I think both man and apes are come from Adam

But you have no evidence.
Evolution from a common ancestor, on the other hand, has alot of evidence.

In your face Creationism.

In..... Your....... Face !!!!

Evolve from apes? I think not.
But I do believe there may have been some cross breeding amongst early hominids..especially as they died out.
Food for thought...

Why does it have to be an "either/or" choice between evolution and creation? I find it equally plausible that evolution is the means of creation and the timeline was not measured by our current definition of years.

For the sake of argument, if the Old Testament were written by men why would it be necessary to explain every step of how man was created from dust need explained in the books / scrolls, when the important aspect is that we and everything else "were" created from dust, star dust if you will? Isn't that, in essence, what evolution seeks to explain: "how" we were created- the jump from simple molecules to complex life forms?

The great fallacy, in my opinion, is the confusion surrounding the definition of years. According to Relativity, time is experienced differently based on the frame of reference. Is it not possible that to someone outside of the Universe, our evolution took place in ~6500 of their years, while to us inside the expanding Universe, it took nearly 14 billion years?

And for the record, I'm not religious. I just have an open mind.

dont believe anything you hear...

That seems like a cop-out to me, and it isn't supported by any holy books.

Another interesting question would by why does the OT never give any helpful advice? Such as bacteria and viruses causing disease, it would have saved billions.

If God had experienced our evolution in 6,500, why would he give US HIS time? why not tell us the correct time? Surely a God could do that? Unless this god is a tad weak.

Then we would know nothing.

Not really. Evolution seems to work reasonably well (though many holes still remain in theory) for most species but it tends to fall apart to a degree for us, man.


Also, surprised no-one has mentioned this yet. It is not a complete skeleton as the opening paragraph suggests.

from linked article in the OP
"It is not a single find, but several specimens representing several individuals. The remains now being brought to light by Dr Berger and his team are wonderful."

The new fossil skeleton was found along with a number of other partially-complete fossils, encased within breccia sedimentary rock inside a limestone cave known as Malapa cave.

So at best this find is a estimation based on assume knowledge by the scientists involved. Yes, it is certainly an interesting find and one which will help fill in some holes in the text books.

Undeniable proof of man's evolution from apes? Not for me, many serious questions still remain.
