What Was Your Impression of the Debate 9-7-11

Let's back this up just a bit. I said no such thing. Period. End of story. Now, sir, you DO owe me an apology. When CoinOKC says something that you choose to misconstrue IMO, that is between you and he. I have nothing to do with it.

 

You said I called you a racist. Then you said I "insinuated" that you are a racist. Which is it? Actually, I did neither, but that probably won't keep you from still calling me a liar. That makes you disingenuous at best. LOL. I'm still waiting for my bloody apology.

Also, you owe RLM an apology. You've attributed my words to him.

 

I have news for all of you, we are not all the same. There is mixtures in the major races from previous human like interactions. If anyone is reading this as you fight you might be interested with a little spice I copied and pasted from the New York Times. There is so much out there that is not discussed, like northern european artifacts and bones found in North America that dates to the same time the Asians crossed the bering sea. Appears that there was a land bridge on both sides. But back to this, races are more different then just skin color.

By comparing that genome with those of various present day humans, the team concluded that about 1 percent to 4 percent of the genome of non-Africans today is derived from Neanderthals

 

Exactly who on earth is a "non-African" and where did they originally come from?

 

I not entirely sold on the African roots idea just yet, though I know the current evidence points to the continent as the birthplace of modern humans. My thinking is that the evidence in Africa is found mainly in heavily eroded areas, and there are plenty of other areas in the World that are not eroded, that may contain other 'links' but are currently undiscovered.

 

Ha! Scientific evidence proves Africa, but you don't believe it. Are you a Birther or a Truther, too?

 

The majority of the evidence found so far is found in eroded areas and represents an immensly small fraction of the story of human's ancestors in the World. I'm saying there is much more to be found. Scientific evidence currently points to Africa, but it's a relatively new theory. Wait a few decades and maybe you'll see what I mean...

 

Heheh... um, OK... I can just see the leading archeologists and anthropologists rolling their eyes on that one. Anyway, in the meantime I'll adhere to proven, accepted scientific evidence.

 

We do not know anything yet we pretend to know everything.
1.Pluto is the ninth planet. Nope found forty more or so planets just like pluto in the solar system which is to much to count so lets redefine what a planet is and pass it off as absolute fact.
2. All dinosaurs were reptiles and were gray or green covered skin -um bird feathers being found. The whole dino education i was taught is being rethought and redifined such as the T-rex was only a hunter but now also more of a scavenger. Who knows? We do know that the king of dino land now was not the biggest afterall.
3. All humans races have the same background. Well we all might have come from Africa, who knows most of the shore line where humans lived in the past is now underwater and so too is any evidence that may prove otherwise on a time line.
4. All human races have the same background. With DNA testing becoming more and more advance with our knowledge of DNA we are finding that the races of today actually had interbreeding, perhaps pairing as couples as well, with other human like folk who are now extinct. It holds for all.
5. The sun revolves around the earth, the earth is flat, animals can not think they are all instinct.,etc....all proven wrong over time. Science is a work in progress but one needs to have an open scientific method type of mind to be objective about that.

 

I agree that people should have an open mind and be scientifically objective. Otherwise, we'd never have anyone questioning something like physics. Had that been the case, quantum theory and string theory may never have existed. Question science, build upon it, strengthen it or refute it if possible. But, until proven otherwise, I'll side with the evidence.

 

I'm also siding with the evidence, but with an asterisk.

There is another thing to consider: How do archaelogists decide where to dig? The answer is complicated because there are many factors involved. One of the bigger reasons relates to funding. Funding is usually limited to known or likely areas, those that have yielded significant finds in the past. Then factor in areas where they can't dig, for environmental or political reasons. BTW, I'm not saying the dead primates found in Africa, and the resulting theories, are lies. I'm saying there are still other possiblities that can't be discounted. I considered those possibilities in addition to the African theory.

 

Hey, De orc. Afraid to admit you made a mistake?

 

Agreed. Those who fund digs want what they would called evidence to support a thought line which is really just a theory. They will not fund someone with a differing perspective and set of ideas unless they know it is doomed to fail which in its failure would support what they want. Think for the most part this was always the way for it is pretty much human nature.

 

No just amazed by your stupidity see unlike you when I am wrong I admit it, you on the other hand simply try twisting things LOL

 

Yep! I can really see how well you take defeat as you try to twist CoinOKC's word. Self-fulfilling prophesy?

 

RLM, somehow I don't think either of us will be receiving an apology.

 

I always love the Right-wingnut’s twisting complaint. If you unwind their logical fallacies, you are twisting their words. If you have to twist logic itself into a knot to defend your opinion, untwisting will always be the answer you'll get from the Left.

 

LOL nope you wont but keep up the entertainment

 

Nope. I am just amazed by his stupidity see, unlike him when I am wrong I admit it, he on the other hand has just proven that he cannot stoop that low (relative to his standards) so he simply twists things LOL.

 

Why is it you two always think that you deserve an apology everytime some here disagrees with you? Are you guys really that insecure?
