Apes, Again?
Don't you get tired of these scientists finding a pile of bones in Podunk, Africa, and then building men around them? Our intelligence was insulted through an hour TV show not too long ago in which was featured the jaw bone of an ape. From the single bone the whole head was constructed — not just the bone structure but the whole head. All of which makes me think that some of our scientists are of a special class all their own such as "stabilicus quextionablisis."
Of course after they find their bone and then get an ape build around it the conclusion is obvious. Any intelligent person knows what would logically follow next:
Bone + Clay Around it = Proof of Evolution Doesn't it just stand to reason that if you find a bone and build something around it that that something you built must be a part of the evolutionary process? Well, it doesn't to me and I'm much gratified to see that others feel the same. For example, there was an editorial awhile back in The Southwest Times Record under the caption, "So Apes Lived 28 Million Years Ago — So What?" This article is very interesting and I would like to share it with you.
"The scientists sometimes go pretty far out, it seems to us, in attempting to link many discoveries of ancient life with the history of man. And that was about our reaction to a recent announcement of the discovery of an ape's skull in Egypt. It was said that the animal died about 28 million years ago and the find was termed 'a new link in the evolution of man.'
"If there was anything else in the find, other than it 'possessed most of the features of higher primates,' to link it with the history of man, the writer failed to include it. To our notion, if the time factor was correctly interpreted, it proved that apes lived 28 million years ago — and it proved or indicated nothing but that."
Hooray for the editor! He certainly needs to be congratulated for having the nerve to speak out in such a way about such tripe and on a subject about which so many people have been duped.
Often people of good mentality are led completely away from good sense by "smart" folk who have delved headlong into some weird theory and then break their necks trying to prove it. It makes no difference how smart or dumb people are; common sense is still around, and it tells a person that if someone finds a bone in his back yard and builds a dog around it that that person might be a pretty good sculptor or dog-builder or something, but that's about it. It just doesn't follow that we automatically connect the fine work of art with evolution. A great deal more evidence would be needful.
