Wrong. Some of it has even moved to the level of DNA extraction and comparison.

Are you sure? Or are they careful about what they might find?

Might they find that Lucy really was a variety of ape ... isn't her age in dispute? Is the age of our ancestry due to archeology in grave dispute?

And when they find there is no true DNA link, will your 'testimony' of evolution be shaken ... or will you simply move on and call it refinement?

She is NOT the only member of her species that they have identified. You underestimate the volume and quality of evidence.

And you're the guy telling me I don't live in reality. No wonder your other stories always sound so fanciful.

Volume, quantity ... where is this volume and quantity?

Isn't that the crux of the problem ... a lack of volume and quantity? Surely if science had such overwhelming evidence Lucy would truly be the Holy Grail of all that is intellectual?

Why do you have a problem with evolution, yet you have no problem with Book of Mormon claims about elephants, horses, and Jews in America, even though there is ZERO evidence to support these claims? The evidence for evolution is overwhelming, while the evidence for claims associated with the birth of Mormonism is essentially zilch. Can you see the inconsistency here?

I'm not suggesting that you drop Mormonism. I'm saying that if you can embrace Mormonism despite a lack of evidence, then you certainly ought to be able to embrace evolution, given the overwhelming evidence.
