h and jaw fragments, and put them together incorrectly to resemble a human jaw. In 1978, more bones were discovered, and Ramapithecus was just an ape. Leakey also discovered "Skull 1470" which is definitely more human-like and yet older than Homoerectus and the Australopithecines. Perhaps this proves that man is older than his ancestors. Of course Leakey also discovered the very old Australopithecines, the most famous of which is "Lucy." L!eakey thought she walked upright, but investigation by many others concluded that she did not, she swung from trees and is a type of extinct ape. Not a link, but an ape(Oxnard,1979). Eugene Dubo is discovered Java Man, and 40 years later admitted itwas a gibbon, and he had with held parts of other bones to preclude identification. Recent studies of Neanderthal man show that, like Cro-Magnon and Heidelberg man, he was NOT stooped and apelike, but was affected by rickets and arthritis. They are men, and artists depiction of them as "ape-like" is unfounded and not supported by the evidence(Rensberger,1981). To support the evolution theory, it is necessary to assume the earth is hundreds of millions of years old. The techniques used to show this include radiometric dating (Potassium-Argon, Rubidium-Strontium, and the uranium-Thorium-Lead methods). However, in over one-half of 800 published dates that were checked, there were major errors found in the methodology. Geology teaches that each rock strata and it's fossils indicate vast "ages" of time, with the oldest and least evolved on the bottom. These "Index Fossils" of each strata are then used to determine the age of all similar plants and animals, based on the notio!n that they had to all have evolved at the same time. Geology also invariably dates rock strata formations by the content of the index fossils found with in each strata. This is circular reasoning. Radio-carbon dating is based on the assumption that the ratio of carbon-14 in ...
