I absolutely LOVED it when his radio-host, Mike Trout, was caught cruising gay bars. His perfect little "family" organization was caught with its pants down! |

To be correct, Mike Trout left FotF because of "his participation in an inappropriate relationship with a woman other than his wife."
John Paulk was the FotF official who visited a gay bar. He "asked for forgiveness" and was disciplined. "Vice President Hetrick told The Voice that Mr. Paulk did err in visiting a gay bar, but Mr. Paulk only went to the bar out of curiosity and not to seek homosexual relations. " And I guess they believed him. <a href="http://www.multnomah.edu/voice/0201/0201news.html" target="_blank">FotF problems</a> |

I read about this fossil in time magazine. Is there a thread where it's implications are being discussed? I was wondering what you guys would think about it.

I think it's only major implication is that the "human branch" of the evolutionary tree happened between 1 or 2 million years earlier than it is currently believed to have happened. I could be wrong about that tho

And that's what peer review is all about. The debate over this skull will last, possibly longer than I will.
It's much to soon to be making statments about it. doov |

We're a very long way from drawing any conclusions about the skull yet. Don't take Senut's comments as any more authoritative than anyone else's right now. She's not exactly a disinterested party in this. She's touting her *own* find, and Robertson ain't gonna accept that one any faster than this one....
Lots of experts have seen the Sahelanthropus skull, and they don't see "gorilla". (Just to keep it in perspective, though--the discovery of a fossil member of the gorilla clade would indeed be a Very Good and a Very Exciting thing--but it has to be shown to be "gorilla" in the same way any hominin fossil has to be shown to be "hominin") Quote:
