I would think that the nanobes should have proved that we do not know as much about life as we think we do. Of course it doesn't rewrite evolution. Funny how the creationists bring up the fact that we as humans are not animals, or are somehow above all other creatures on the planet.

As for evolution, we are surrounded by a continuous flow of an ever changing world and universe. People speak as if we can measure a God's motivations as we can measure the aeons. The folly of human arrogance. Who is to say that a billion years is not a day to a God, or Goddess?

There was certainly people running around the globe long before 6000 years ago. Early people were nomadic and did not create permanent settlements for thousands of years. The was an early age of settlements that evolved into the biblical cities and civilisations.

I thought Lucy was over 5 million years old? Hominids. If they are not apes and not people, what are they? How do they fit into creationism?
