Bex, can you not understand why I've said to Russ before why I prefer him not to come here and say "watch this video" and expect an evolutionist to spend hours refuting it? I would not do the same to you. It would be better to save time all round by picking one aspect and discussing it thoroughly from all sides. I'm not trying to insult you, I'm trying to point out why pasting whole web pages or links to videos is generally not a good idea in a debate. I'm happy to pick up some of the more ridiculous points by Yahya above, but it's going to take quite a bit of time and I'll have to wait until I can find a chunk. If it were just a few points then it wouldn't be a problem to take 10 minutes or so to comment. In the meantime I'm not sure if you answered RAZD's question above. In the time you took to paste all of that here, presumably you believed everything it said without question? I'm going to have to do a lot of searches to get at the actual facts, many of which have been distorted and misrepresented -- do you ever do the same, or do you accept the interpretation of the evidence being offered to you at face value because it says what you want to hear? Presumably this doesn't include his opinions on Islamist fundamentalism, an old earth, or holocaust revisionism?

At a second look, most of what he is doing in your extract above is making unsubstantiated generalisations without referring to the physical evidence, specifically the fossils themselves. He has deliberately omitted a lot of important information. You would know this just by going to some of the links I've given about hominid fossils but I'll elaborate on them myself for your convenience; maybe this evening when my daughter is in bed and I can concentrate for a while.
