I guess someone didn't scroll down far enough and missed the information about archaeology and the Miocene era.
someone found all mentions of Miocene in that link and they are all about paleontological papers in Nature and Science on early hominids

Sure they are. You hit every link on that page, and read everything it had to offer.

Again, so what?
So what? Again do you know my reason for posting the link? If so tell me teh reason for posting it.

Just because somebody in UAE decided to put fossils together with archaeological artefacts doesn't mean archaeology deals with fossils
LOL!

And it doesn't

Stop posting irrelevant links just for the sake of arguing

Posting a link alone doesn't prove your point
What is my point?

I made a thread earlier about how much of an idiot he is and whether or not anyone took him seriously because I dont. Then I speculated that he might be some one's alter ego. It was deleted in less than 2 minutes. I was going to argue how it shouldn't have been deleted since there are similar threads discrediting other GOM posters (namely Stockton) and since I didn't feel I had violated any of the rules that were established when 2-0-Sixx became Mod. But I lost interest in the middle of my rant and gave up on it until I read not so much what he's said so far but how he's said it. Namely his air of superiority.

ThaG may be an idiot but he's far too smart to be randomly trolling. He is definitely either the genuine article or some one's persona.

Well, if people are more interested in how others say things rather that what they have to say, dialogue is impossible

At least I can back up my position with facts

What the fuck is up with this alter ego shit? Shit its hard enough being me why the fuck would I want to be two people? He probably deleted your shit because he wants people to take shit to pm, instead of public bashing, but I admit there have been many stockton threads so yours should have stayed.

If you continue your "trolling" as opposed to actual conversation/debate then of course dialogue is impossible because people will be too busy calling you the idiot you are.

No, no you can't. I remember you came on this board around the same time that other guy did. I destroyed him swiftly and mercilessly because he too thought that all he did was spew facts. You are prone to bursts of opinion and pass them off as fact. That is a fact and that is contradictory to your statement.

thag is pretty hardcore and seems like a man on a missions, sometimes i dont know why he even bothers. but i take him far more seriously on the topics of science and theism than people who dont even acknowledge evolution. i mean are you serious, i feel like everyone is conspiring to play a huge joke on me when they take a fuckin a book that anyone could have written over things like the human genome and DNA and common (apparently uncommon) fucking sense.

actually it disgusts me, but i find solice in the fact that these archaic thoughts that have been held since neanderthal buried his friends with flowers will soon go the way of every other religion, that is, into a history book and into books about mythology. jesus will ride along with thor and hercules and santa. but the majority of the world is religious, while many of you same theists proclaim over and over that the majority of people are stupid, lol.

meanwhile science ammends itself, it admits that it does not know the whole reason and meaning of our existence, is constantly explaining away "miracles, is always changing, is always moving towards truth (setbacks to be sure), corrects its own mistakes. and people will still be ascribing to my school of thought, science, generations from now while 10 year old kids all laugh and make fun of how people used to be so vain as to think that this tiny planet and our band of mammals was central to all existence.

if the timescale of the universe was condensed into one calendar year, man arose in the final seconds of the last minute of the last day of the last month. science says there is much more we can seek to understand, religion says, "check, i know everything i need to know, i'm ready to go to heaven now". ironically religion keeps riding the benefits of science while spitting in its face and denying evolution in lieu of something they were conditioned to believe since they learned how to talk. take a minute all you conspiracy theorists and open your fucking eyes. thank you.
Religion isn't going anywhere my friend.

This thread. For example your last post was a complete mimicry of Heresy's style. Another burst of how you think something will happen so you go off and paste a link hoping that it will prove your opinion right and solidify it as fact.

G isn't a scientist though, he's just some young adult who takes Biology classes, believes strongly in evolution, and posts the information he learns from class onto the siccness boards. I don't see too many people out right denying evolution, a lot of people just don't take the theory at face value and demand more evidence, maybe there's more to it since we didn't observe it. You don't see anybody questioning earth not being the center of the universe any more, that has been proven definitively to be false.. "Appealing to authority", or claiming that you don't take some one as seriously because they don't believe the same thing as you do is a logical fallacy, and isn't a valid argument. Also, this dude has virtually no scientific knowledge whatsoever, he stays safely with in his zone, he is not a well rounded individual as can be seen in his reading and writing comprehension and his lack of participation in other threads; I've called him out on this. He focuses 10% of his brain all on one subject and commits his life to it. That is not scientific superiority. Neither can you claim that he's an expert or knows more about Theism, that rightly goes to Heresy and Stockton imo..

What makes you think I hoped my opinion is a fact?

You are right I imitated HERESY's style and to do so I posted a random article about a study that doesn't really prove anything, except that it says "Atheism is on the rise" in big letters

which unfortunately is not true or at least not visible in everyday life

This is the part of science that I admire and appreciate, the part that has the humility and open mindedness to accept the fact that we do not know everything, but are trying to move towards truth and understanding.

THis is the part about religion AND science I disagree with. This is how I see thaG's and other dogmatic zealots approach to explaining the world around us.

For some, the scientific method is YOUR GOD.

Some day, science will evolve to the point where it will prove the existence of divinity.

Theism isn't science, period

So you can't require anyone to know theism in order to be a well-rounded scientist

I think I've done more than just "taking biology classes" (well, don't expect me to give you a list of publications, internet is supposed to be an anonymous place) and I think Nobel prize winners know more than you about evolution so whatever you learn from them can certainly be used on a board such as this

Moreover, last time I checked nobody has both a Nobel Prize in medicine and physiology and a Fields medal so great scientists seem to be sticking to one particular area. This is not going to change as knowledge in different disciplines becomes deeper and deeper because the human brain has certain limitations
