I drop out for a few days and a thread of a 150 messages appear. I have not past the first page of it, but I will put in my thoughts of the page.

1) Notice that the students are from an class in apologetics and not science. The author is giving to students who are almost certainly unfamiliar with the subject matter and without the technical backgrounds needed to understand what is being discussed and is wondering that they are confussed?

2) That is not always clear what group a fossil belongs to is actually powerful evidence FOR evolution. It is creationism that suggests that it should be clear what is human and not human. Evolution suggests that this is blurred. That is what his students found.

3) Most of the specific points are old claims. They are addressed at <a href="http://www.talkorigins.org" target="_blank">http://www.talkorigins.org</a>

4) Compare this quote:
to another<a href="http://www.answersingenesis.org/home/area/magazines/tj/docs/tjv13n2_human_non-transitions.asp" target="_blank">another AiG article</a> cited by Randman that says that the above are so obviously australopithecines.
