22. “If we came from monkeys then why are there still monkeys?”
The question I want to look at here is: is there any excuse for this level of ignorance?
It’s obvious 22 hasn’t thought about his objection at all. He’s just reciting a mantra, and one which creationist propaganda organisations have now repudiated as being too stupid even for them.
18. “Why have we found only 1 “Lucy”, when we have found more than 1 of everything else?”
Have you noticed how both 18 and 12, who makes essentially the same point about there being only one Lucy (ie, fossil hominid skeleton), both finish with a squiggle?
No-one else feels the need to bolster their argument with a graphical flourish. Perhaps it’s an unconscious attempt to compensate for its obvious weaknesses.
12. “There is no inbetween… the only one found has been Lucy and there are only a few pieces of the hundreds neccessary for an “official proof””
There are two things we can learn from 12’s claim, which is a variation on the old “missing link” objection.
When I first created a website in about 1997, I didn’t have anything to put on it yet. So, as a placeholder while I worked on some proper content, I posted a scanned image of a magazine cutting that I’d found on the floor. I labelled it “Decaying Green Corpse”.
Ever since, throughout every iteration of my web presence, from early GeoCities silliness, via the heyday of the tombell.net galleries, to today’s meagre offering, the Decaying Green Corpse has been there.
