<
To kids everywhere, I APOLOGIZE!

I apologize for the length of time that it's taking
to destroy the evolutionists and their facetious,
factless theory concerning your origin.
<
These pseudos can be pretty stubborn, you know.

But now, without question, there's quite a leak in their
dike and it's getting bigger every day.

Let's all hope these pseudos are wearing raincoats, othewise they may
drown in a Sea of Truth.

You see, kids, you and your kids and all the kids who
come laater deserve truth, not deceitful, disgusting
fictional crap about who you really are and how you
really got here.

  Oldest North American Human Remains? Dated 13.6 kya         


Author: RichTravsky
Date: Sep 7, 2008 10:08

http://news.nationalgeographic.com/news/2008/09/080903-oldest-skeletons.html?source...

Deep inside an underwater cave in Mexico, archaeologists may have discovered
the oldest human skeleton ever found in the Americas.

Dubbed Eva de Naharon, or Eve of Naharon, the female skeleton has been dated
at 13,600 years old. If that age is accurate, the skeleton—along with three
others found in underwater caves along the Caribbean coast of the Yucatán
Peninsula—could provide new clues to how the Americas were first populated.

The remains have been excavated over the past four years near the town of
Tulum, about 80 miles southwest of CancĂşn, by a team of scientists led by
Arturo González, director of the Desert Museum in Saltillo, Mexico

We don't now how [the people whose remains were found in the caves] arrived
and whether they came from the Atlantic, the jungle, or inside the continent,"
González said.

"But we believe these finds are the oldest yet to be found in the Americas
and may influence our theories of how the first people arrived."

In addition to possibly altering the time line of human settlement in the
Americas, the remains may cause experts to rethink where the first Americans
came from, González added.

Thanks a lot, DD. Yes, very beautiful & exciting, but the enhancer HACNS1
is not oly working at the proximal thumb, but also at the big toe, anterior
wrist, ankle, shoulder & hip, ears (& less in eyes), & the pharynx.
HACNS1 alone doesn't explain why humans have rel.long & opposable thumbs:
it's not "the" thumb gene (just as FOXP2 is not "the" langauge" gene).

--Marc

... Human HACNS1 differs from Pan in 16 mutations = 4 x as many as expected
= positive selection ... Shyam Prabhakar cs placed the H, P & Macaca
versions in mice ... the human version had strong blue stains in their
developing limbs, eyes, ears & pharyngeal arches : HACNS1 is acting here as
a gene enhancer. In older embryos, it was still activating in the shoulder,
wrist & thumb & to a lesser extent in the big toe, ankle & hip ...

"The explosive vigour of the universe is thus matched with almost
unbelievable accuracy to its gravitating power. The big bang was not
evidently, any old bang, but an explosion of exquisitely arranged
magnitude."
Paul Davies, Superforce: The Search for a Grand Unified Theory of
Nature, 1984, p. 184

“If the rate of expansion one second after the big bang had been
smaller by even one part in a hundred thousand million million, the
universe would have recollapsed before it ever reached its present
size.”

Stephen Hawking, A Brief History Of Time, Bantam Press, London: 1988,
p. 121-125

"…Something else has to be behind things, somehow guiding them. And
that, one might say, is a kind of mathematical proof of divinity."
Guy Marchie, American Science Writer

Company, 1978, p. 598

  Rain is Sent Down in due Measure         


Author: Hamady
Date: Sep 3, 2008 10:33

In the eleventh verse of Surat az-Zukhruf, rain is defined as water
sent down in "due measure". "It is He (God) Who sends down water in
due measure from the sky" (Qur’an, 43:11)

Indeed, rain falls on the earth in an unerring measure.

The first of the measures related to rain is its speed of descent.
When dropped from a height of 3937 feet, an object having the same
weight and size as a rain-drop would continuously accelerate and fall
on the ground at a speed of 347 miles/h. The average speed of
raindrops, however, is only 9.3-12.4 miles/h.

The reason for this is that the raindrop has a special form that
increases the frictional effect of the atmosphere and helps it fall on
the ground more slowly. A glance at the figures below is sufficient to
understand the disaster the earth would face every time it rained if
rain raindrops were in a different form, or the atmosphere did not
have the quality of friction.

Ok so now these clams have "high" technical skills, maybe their brains
are highly developed and they taught us to swim, talk and make bladed
tools!!!

Earliest Known Modern Human

http://dsc.discovery.com/news/2008/08/22/earliest-human-ethiopia.html

Aug. 22, 2008 -- The world's first known modern human was a tall,
thin individual -- probably male -- who lived around 200,000 years
ago and resembled present-day Ethiopians, save for one important
difference: He retained a few primitive characteristics associated
with Neanderthals, according to a series of forthcoming studies
conducted by multiple international research teams.

===============================================

If there were no females, what did the creature mated with? the yeti?
