Of interest since they are estimating the skull to be between 500,000 and 250,000 years old.

Such a shame there are never any transitional forms.
Now we lack the form before and after this one.
Darn. The more evidence you gather, the less you know.
ID is so much more elegant.
(And you don't have to crawl about dusty rocks with a paintbrush in 120 degree heat, like those stupid African guys). What do they know about how God works? ;)

Yep. The more gaps you fill, the more gaps you create.

One time I got into an argument with a creationist over this very point. I was pointing out some of the transitional forms between reptiles and mammals. I was writing on some paper to illustrate my point. I had an X on the left to represent reptiles, and an O on the right for mammals. I named a couple of species and put check-marks in between the X and O. This dummy actually said, "But now you have to fill in these gaps." I almost strangled him. And yet this same guy has no trouble believing in demons and angels.

Guess some folks prefer crawling about dusty rocks with paintbrushes in 120 degree heat, and discovering facts, rather than relying on fiction to answer the questions.:)

Sweet Holy Jeebus on a Holy Pareidolic Toast!

What sort of twisted evil godless human being would enjoy crawling about dusty rocks in 120 degree heat searching for evidence :rolleyes: ?

I've had this happen too - what sort of garbage is in these folks' heads?

Can you imagine someone like that trying to make that argument in a court of law? Can you just hear the peals of laughter crashing down upon them as a result?

Oh yeah, that already happened - in Dover, PA :D
