Cave Woman

Chelmsford

Fossilised remains of our ancestors called cave woman has baffled scientists. Proof that humans roamed the earth millions of years earlier than previously thought. The next piece of the jigsaw will be man bones found next to the dinosaurs in the same pit. It strikes Tom as odd that these paleontologist types see this as a breakthrough. Tom says that it just proves their ignorance...

They're not at all ignorant, they just didn't have the evidence.

Their are archeological discoveries that have tended to support the Bible and the existence of Jesus.

You know when I picture cave men hitting a woman over the head and driving her back to a cave. If it was the other way around (the woman hitting the male) do you think she’d ever stop clubbing him?

But they (the church) now won’t let anyone examin it or prove the initial ‘it’s a fake’ claim (which can prove it’s a fake) to be de-bunked.

It’s age doesn’t add up to the claim. Carbon testing. Science doesn’t lie.

Science can't lose in this area. If they can prove a god exists, winner, if they can prove a God does not exist, winner.

Tom is incorrect!

Tom should know that the Turin Shroud has been the subject of radio carbon dating that puts its manufacture to be around the 13th century.

It is a big of snide merchandising promoted by the Catholic Church to make money.

Of course you can use a teapot to measure distance. If a teapot is 12 inches long and you use it as as measuring stick then how far is ten teapots...

Where the religion of god and the religion of science overlap is their blind belief and faith. Carbon dating may be laughed at one day.

Scientists as they insist on calling themselves are no different to religious types. They just follow a different God. The God of the quicksand were beliefs and truths keep changing...

Religious beliefs, scientific theory.

Religion is based on a set of beliefs that are not moveable.

Science is based on theories, that are constantly challenged until proven correct

There is no blind faith in science, mainly observation, facts and challenge.

A lot of scientific "proof" goes on to be unproven by more scientists at a later date. Not really sure what that "proves" beyond... Science is fact at that point in time or until another scientist goes on to prove differently. Science of course has a lot of value and goodness. But some people seem to have elevated it to a position it is not worthy of.

Just read about it. It's a pre human ancestor that's now thought to be older than previously was.

This actually helps as that species wasn't believed to be old enough to have had time to transition to a between state form. It now is.

A scientific theory, simply put is a theory. It will remain a theory until challenge has been exhausted by the theory and it is then a law.

We should expect theories to be proven wrong, if the are not robust.

In a nutshell yes.

It would have been a theory until that theory was proven wrong.

The point here, is for people to work successfully and to allow what they have done to be replicated by others a set of rules need to be applied. Those rules can be theories, if they don't hold up, someone will discover that through replication and application.

Weight is great example. To replicate experiments weight needs to be measured precisely, a kilo exists that is a near perfect sphere and a perfect kilo. The most accurate weighing machines are calibrated against these weights, to ensure that when a vaccine is reproduced it is as close as it can possibly be to the exact measurements. Life can depend on it.

I've waffled a little, but to go back to your point, a kilo was invented in 1790's and from it we now have grams, micrograms, and even Nanograms. Before the kilo, all sorts of weights and measures were being used, that no longer exist, they were not up to the job of the modern times. Science and engineering evolved to meet modern day needs. To explain why objects in the sky moved, they would theorise that the Earth must be the centre of the universe and everything travelled around it, the rule was set, others could look and challenge those ideas until they proved it to be wrong, and here we are today, knowing the earth is totally flat

..

We are ignorant of what we don't know, or understand. And the scientific process is no different, often being an iterative process that progressively uncovers more data, or improves our understanding of things.

Improvements in research methods, technology, resources etc, will understandably extend our abilities to reach more accurate conclusions. Science isn't a 1 time thing. It's an ongoing process, sometimes providing surprises. We all make mistakes, it's a human trait.

They tend to ridicule thories that don't fit their narrow narrative. Remember that when Sir Isaac Newton first invented gravity he was ridiculed.

Invented gravity, did he? What did we do before that moment

"Fossilised remains of our ancestors called cave woman has baffled scientists. Proof that humans roamed the earth millions of years earlier than previously thought. The next piece of the jigsaw will be man bones found next to the dinosaurs in the same pit. It strikes Tom as odd that these paleontologist types see this as a breakthrough. Tom says that it just proves their ignorance... ..

We are ignorant of what we don't know, or understand. And the scientific process is no different, often being an iterative process that progressively uncovers more data, or improves our understanding of things.

Improvements in research methods, technology, resources etc, will understandably extend our abilities to reach more accurate conclusions. Science isn't a 1 time thing. It's an ongoing process, sometimes providing surprises. We all make mistakes, it's a human trait. "

That's a good comment. To add slightly..

"Improvements in research methods, technology, resources etc, will understandably extend our abilities to reach more accurate conclusions"... Or to disprove completely... As in the example case sited. I have no issue with any of that. I do take issue with the way some (possibly just lazy social media discussion) who worship "science" and all things science and unable to admit we don't know what we don't know and we understand what we know to be true at the moment. And further profess a rigorous and honest process when often times we know we search for the facts of the truth by setting out to prove only those facts and anything else is an unexplained outlier. The most important thing you said is we are ignorant of what we don't know. It's important to remember the limitations and be open minded enough to acknowledge them.

Now faith on the other hand, has a bit of a get out of jail free card because as far as I can tell.. it requires no scientific proof of anything. It's ultimately whether an individuals believe or not.

There is more than one elephant in the science lab and it's so big that the scientists can only see grey...

How do the scientists get in the lab if it's full of elephants?

Dinosaurs were lazy buggers responsible for their own extinction. I mean around here their bones are only ever found at the beach..

The Turin shroud has been shown to be a fake.

Nonsense... These science types have an agenda. Desperate to undermine religion for their own ends

Dann those science types and their fact based, peer reviewed evidence!

Ignorance is the way forwards!

When it's so called peer reviewed by the the general population and not a sliver of the population then I will be interested..

You will never be interested.

Your curiosity is flaccid.

You mean limp ?"

Don’t you limp when you have a poorly leg?

Yep he was discovered next to the dinosaur bones on the beach. Scientists have carbon dated him to be about the same age. Remarkable discovery

Peoples are missing the point here. One day they will find human bones either inside or alongside dinosaur bones. Or dinosaur bones with teeth marks after a communal feast of the dinosaur prey they hunted and killed for food. There are cave drawings depicting this already but these paleontologist types are blind to all but their own theory and agendas. Early man would have made weapons and traps to get their food. They lived in caves and would of had fire. These science types seem to think that early man were idiots and not skilled hunters

They'll find them near the McDonald's double whopper brontoburger wrappers Tom.

Dinosaurs died out around 65 million years before Tom was walking around with his fire and weapon in hand.

But having said that, you are right in very abstract way. Birds lived on and are considered surviving dinosaurs, so those teeth marks in a KFC chicken leg thrown on pavement sort of meets the criteria above.

No one is doubting the existence of Jesus. In all probability he was around. Was he the son of God is where the debate kicks off. "

My mother believed he was the son of an alien..... That's how come he managed to set the bush on fire (a laser for a finger) and everything else he did
