Evolutionists “jump the gun”… again!

Last May, evolutionary scientists touted a new fossil skeleton as “This will be the one pictured in the textbooks for the next hundred years.” The claims were that the “primate” skeleton, named Ida, dated back some 47 million years and provided evidence for the connection between primates, apes, monkeys, humans and other mammals. Sir David Attenborough even narrated a BBC documentary on the astounding find, and stated “This little creature is going to show us our connection with the rest of all the mammals; with cows and sheep, and elephants and anteaters” (Guardian.uk.co, May 19, 2009).

A new detailed analysis of the skeleton confirmed what a number of experts originally thought: Ida is not a primate  of the apes and monkeys classification! In fact, Ida is a never-seen-before, cat-sized primate, more closely related to lemurs. She is not remotely connected with apes, monkeys or humans (see Nature, Associated Press, October 21, 2009).

Genesis states that God created the heavens and earth and that animals were created after their own kind. Scientists have not proven that complex life evolved from simpler life forms or that one complex life form evolved from another. Since the Bible is indeed true, the hunt for the “missing link” will continue to be a futile search for missing evidence—the truths of God will continue to be “uncovered” and revealed (Luke 12:2).
