I saw this video on Google video and thought I would share it with the city. Haven't fully watched it yet, and probably won't be able to until tomorrow. But from what I have seen so far it sounds interesting (maybe not true *Shrugs*, but interesting) and is not the first time I have heard about stuff like this. Anyway click the link and give it a watch if you're interested. Mysterious Origins of Man - Forbidden Archeology. And just to show the other side, check out this link afterwards if you so choose. http://www.talkorigins.org/faqs/mom.html
No one has any thoughts on this? No one else finds the idea intriguing, if for no other reason than to dream? No one disagrees so strongly that they are foaming at the mouth?
Well I did watch it, and it's the same old creationist pseudo-science I'd come to expect from evolution deniers. Not much to comment on really. For some good information regarding origins of man and evolution in general (and even a debunking of the "man footprints amongst dino footprints" hoax), take a look at this video: http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=2043771442443928848&q=The+Blind+Watchmaker Notice that that the Evolution video is made in 1987, whilst the creationist video is from 1996 (i think). Yet the creationist one still use examples that are long since debunked as utter nonsense. Does make you wonder what agenda they are pushing eh? It can't be truth, since facts actually contradict their notions. And they know it, yet still they keep up the lies.
Charlton Heston was a dead give away, eh? I would have no problem with accepting the idea that humans were around for longer than we currently believe. Not by the huge amount of time they put forth in the film obviously. I don't really have any reason to doubt evolution, there is no reason I can logically think of to doubt it. I never got to the man footprints, I'm going to finish watching it now, but they were starting to bring it up and it did encourage some eye rolling. Though I would say we are created. I have no odd belief that we were magicked up one day out of thin air. Science, in my view, explains the how of it, religion seeks to explain the why of it. I also think religion should ignore the how of it (At least in detail, saying God created everything is fine) unless God starts giving us equations. I'll watch the link when I'm done with this one. Thanks for sharing.
