Lucy has never been reclassified as an ape. Sorry to disappoint you. She was a hominid, an early humanoid life form, that was related to our human line. Piltdown was a hoax, that adds nothing to the equation for later finds. There's no bs here, just a new scientific discovery that expands our knowledge of human development and history.
What fairy tale is that? No fairy tale here...save that for Bible studies
It baffels me that ppl seriously think that we evovled from monkeys? where are the missing links? there are 6+billion ppl in the world today and ppl will still believe things that they see (1 rock as an example) but choose not to believe in Creation by faith!
Be careful. Unfortunately INGO opposes any mention of anything remotely religious. (Other than humanism, apparently.) Simply mentioning the alternative theory to evolution can get threads locked an infractions passed out.
You make a good point about missing links. The fossil record contains men and apes. It shows nothing that indicates a monkey on its way to being a man. Sure, a supposed missing link pops up every couple of decades but if made has really been evolving for millions of years I shouldn't be able to walk out of my front door without tripping over a missing link.
