I have a Clovis point which my dad found in the 1940's... it's a cool artifact.DNA said:The dating for the big migration into the Americas has been questioned for a long time. A lot of archaeologists have taken the stance that the date probably should be pushed back, but there has been no evidence for pre-Clovis occupation. It is a case of "we think something might be true, but we won't claim it until we can back it up." Of course, there have been other sites that preliminary evidence suggests will push back the date of colonization but then turn out to be less than solid, e.g., Monte Verde in Chile.

Not to defend this study or anythinbg since we know next to nothing about it (like what the stratigraphy is like or what dating methods they used), but there have been other significant finds and dating of footprints like. Laetoli in Africa comes to mind.valve bouncer said:This particualr idea may be idiotic but plenty haven't been.
I'm not talking about that mate. I'm talking about things like the idea that spaceships planted people here (obviously idiotic) or that humans evolved seperately on different continents (less idiotic but highly unlikely).DNA said:Not to defend this study or anythinbg since we know next to nothing about it (like what the stratigraphy is like or what dating methods they used), but there have been other significant finds and dating of footprints like.

I thought that theory was pretty much the only valid explaination to date of how the mitochondria could possibly have their own DNA and independent structure...Westy said:My current favorite is a theory that the mitochondria in our cells were originally bacteria that evolved into a symbiotic relationship with other cells.

It's not. But that still doesn't mean that mitochondria weren't once bacteria, either.genpowell71 said:I dont know why its so hard to believe that God was the creating force behind the universe.
And a lot of things that are way beyond our comprehension happening right now. . . from infinitesimal sub-molecular level to the infinite cosmic ends. . . and especially in the depths of each human thoughts, body and soul.genpowell71 said:I agree completely with you. I'm sure there were alot of things 10K years ago that were not as they are now.
Likewise...enkidu said:And a lot of things that are way beyond our comprehension happening right now. . . from infinitesimal sub-molecular level to the infinite cosmic ends. . . and especially in the depths of each human thoughts, body and soul.
Books and the world. . . I take both as a continuum of a whole organic body. My bet is on both. (I am greedy)MikeD said:Likewise...
On one hand, we have books, written by humans in human language and translated through several languages and over thousands of years, often in conflict with one another.
Or, we have the world, which, if you believe in God, is God's creation/gift. It, if God exists, bear his/its intentions and contains his mysteries.
Which more accurately helps us discover God?? My bet's on the world.
