Scientists Find THE Missing Link. I Celebrate With A Banana

(47 million year old spine, look at that hunch, you need an adjustment buddy)

I personally find this post so ridiculous, that I am going to keep it short and simple. Really the only reason I wanted to point it out was to throw another wrench into Global Warming...not a big one, but a little "so why..?" question.

Anyway, in this article, it claims that scientists have unveiled a 47 million year old fossil of a lemur-monkey, follow me here, that is the missing link, stay with me, for Darwin's theory of evolution. Wow.

Now, maybe it is just me, but doesn't this connect prehistoric monkeys with modern monkeys more than it does SOMEHOW fitting in between primates and humans??

Here is the thing, in order to really prove Darwin's theory, you would have to find thousands, if not millions, of fossils of early primates and show the differences over the millions of years as they evolved. By saying:

"Up until now, the most famous fossil primate in the world has been Lucy, a 3.18-million-year-old hominid found in Ethiopia in 1974."

Oh, let's see, 47 million years old and 3.18 million years old. Okay, give me time to do the math here. By my estimations, you are looking at a 43.82 MILLION year gap, where is all the evidence in between??!

They are asking you to take a pretty big leap of faith in judgment there, especially considering that the 3.18 million year old ancestor's skeleton was only 40% complete.

On to my global warming question, something came to mind as I read the following:

"Through radiometric dating of Messel's volcanic rocks, they discovered Ida lived 47 million years ago in the Eocene period.

This was when tropical forests stretched right to the poles, and South America was still drifting and had yet to make contact with North America."

Whoa, stop the presses! Are you telling me that "tropics" spread to the poles, the Earth was hot, there were no ice shelves or icebergs and this was not the fault of "Global Warming"! I mean surely you could at least blame it on the gas emissions of the animals themselves right?

Those that will believe, will believe and argue until they are blue in the face I guess.
