[theDeeDubs]

when I read something like this I always remember

I've never been one to say someone looks like so and so but this guy could seriously be my brother-in-law. He has the exact same facial structure and even the massive body hair.

The thing I would love to know is if one sex was more likely to cross, like the women going after Neanderthal men because strength was highly valued. The evolution of the species is so damn fascinating to me. The fact we'll never know everything is such a thorn in my side though.

 

[Funky Papa]

where is the proof in any of these statements?

Oh I forgot, on gaf, everyone believes anything said by a so-called scientist.

Sir, step aside and show us your PhD in genetics.

 

[Dude Abides]

naw I'm not mad. My bad for taking statements with no proof for face value.

You're so skeptical of these so-called scientists - good on ya! If there were more people like you the sheeple wouldn't be giving their poor kids those horrible vaccines!

 

[Gaborn]

Did you even read the article? If you really are skeptical when the real paper gets put in the journal you can grab it and decide for yourself.


Is that not proof?

It is in the journal. You can read the abstract here you can also read the full article - for $32 for 1 day's worth of access.

Homo floresiensis (aka "Hobbit") survived until 12,000 years ago:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Homo_floresiensis

Yep, actually one of the species I had in mind. Just wonder how different culturally we would be, if more survived to present day and even modernized.

 

[MThanded]

"so-called scientists" top shelf humor right there

 

[kswiston]

It is in the journal. You can read the abstract here you can also read the full article - for $32 for 1 day's worth of access.

Or go to a library or university where they will have access to the journal for free.

Is that not proof?

saying a piece of DNA is different isn't much proof to me. But whatever. If you want to believe this stuff. Go right ahead. I'm so sorry that I don't agree or fall in line, like you think I should.

 

[Ulairi]

naw I'm not mad. My bad for taking statements with no proof for face value.

Uh. Did you read the article? There is proof.

 

[MThanded]

saying a piece of DNA is different isn't much proof to me. But whatever. If you want to believe this stuff. Go right ahead. I'm so sorry that I don't agree or fall in line, like you think I should.

What proof would be good enough for you? There isn't anything much clearer than that. Do you need a time machine to go back and watch them mate or something? DNA similarities/differences are very cut and dry.

Also, why you so mad about this?

Uh...are you just an illiterate prat when it comes to science?

Give it a derp derp and move on.

3-1 he or she is just trying to troll.

No, I think we have a live one here. I could be wrong. Poster seems personally offended that this could possibly be true.

 

[Londa]

lol, here we go. Gaf world ends when someone doesn't agree with them.

 

[Mael]

saying a piece of DNA is different isn't much proof to me. But whatever. If you want to believe this stuff. Go right ahead. I'm so sorry that I don't agree or fall in line, like you think I should.

so in short : Why we still got...oh right...

lol, here we go. Gaf world ends when someone doesn't agree with them.

No, you're basically given an article of science and dismiss it for no reasons. In short, you're worse than creationists.

It's not that you don't agree with GAF, it's that you don't have a rational reason aside from mistrust of scientists.

 

[DJ_Tet]

I always suspected it

As did I

 

[MThanded]

lol, here we go. Gaf world ends when someone doesn't agree with them.

There is no agree or disagree this is not an opinion.

 

[Londa]

No, I think we have a live one here. I could be wrong. Poster seems personally offended that this could possibly be true.

So what are you going to do? Continue to reply to me, thinking that you can hammer your thinking into my head?

 

[Ulairi]

SCIENCE BAD!!!

 

[MThanded]

My thinking?

 

[Sho_Nuff82]

where is the proof in any of these statements?

Oh I forgot, on gaf, everyone believes anything said by a so-called scientist.

The so-called scientist was published in a peer-reviewed journal and then supported by so-called scientists from The Broad Institute and the Harvard School of Public Health. If that's no good, who are the real scientists? The NIH? NASA? CERN?

It's one thing to express concern over his interpretation of the data, but to outright accuse someone of falsifying their research is a pretty heavy axe to swing.

 

[Londa]

It's not that you don't agree with GAF, it's that you don't have a rational reason aside from mistrust of scientists.

how many times have scientist found the Ark? Dead sea scrolls? really now? you trying to say scientists are never wrong?

 

[Socreges]

So what are you going to do? Continue to reply to me, thinking that you can hammer your thinking into me head?

FIGHT THE SYSTEM, LONDA

It's good to be skeptical. Very good. But an actual skeptic would use logic and science in his/her skepticism. You're just being foolish.

 

[Dude Abides]

lol, here we go. Gaf world ends when someone doesn't agree with them.

Brave Londa, forever waging a lonely struggle against the oppressive forces of science.

No matter how much evidence and logic these perfidious "scientists" throw at her, it all simply crashes and breaks like so many ineffectual waves against the stalwart rocks of her willful ignorance and pointless contrarianism.

 

[Funky Papa]

So what are you going to do? Continue to reply to me, thinking that you can hammer your thinking into my head?

You are right; you just need some learnin' to do. You can start with the basics here, and after that, you can graduate in haplotypes.

 

[PantherLotus]

saying a piece of DNA is different isn't much proof to me. But whatever. If you want to believe this stuff. Go right ahead. I'm so sorry that I don't agree or fall in line, like you think I should.

You're a creationist, right? Global Warming denier?

In an ironic twist, I'd posit that the way you think is its very own isolated group. Like neaderthals.

[Gaborn]

All scientists are not created equal but how often have the scientists that "found the ark" been published in a peer reviewed journal? Although the Dead Sea Scrolls are in a bit of a different category since, you know, they're real.

 

[Londa]

Actually its just me saying that I don't believe in what they are saying. That is my opinion, if you want to dramatize it, well that is all your doing.

 

[MThanded]

...

I take it you would believe it if the title read differently? You seem to have personal problem with the subject matter at hand.

 

[Evlar]

I've only been in the thread for 30 seconds and it's already a winner.

 

[Ulairi]

how many times have scientist found the Ark? Dead sea scrolls? really now? you trying to say scientists are never wrong?

You're a fucking idiot. Firstly, you said "so-called" scientist. Secondly, what dose the Ark, Dead Sea Scrolls and the like have to do with science? Nothing. Stay on topic, twit. Science is based on evidence and rational thought. If you disagree we expect you to point to evidence to support your claims and not just whatever tinfoil explanation you read on some 2012 website.

 

[Qwomo]

Science, how does it work?

Actually this is the first time I have said something like this on gaf or anywhere for that matter. I'm not 100% against science. But I don't believe everything I'm told either.

 

[Corky]

How many ti...err...foun...what?

I'm not 100% against science. But I don't believe everything I'm told either.

No that's quite evident.

 

[MThanded]

The neanderthal agenda is alive and well.

Your opinion is wrong.You have no basis in fact for not beleving them. You're crazy.

Off/on topic: are we still pronouncing it "nee ander TALL"?

It was so much more comforting to pronounce it "nee ander THALL"

Call me old fashioned. (and I pronounce mature "mah-churr," not "meh-toor", too!)

 

[Spat_triate]

As did I

And I

Embrace your Neanderthal heritage, Londa! Your reticence is upsetting your ancestors:

Technically, it's tal. It's etymologically more correct and most scientists say it that way.

But nobody is going to correct you or misunderstand you if you say thal.

calling me names does nothing for this discussion. But you know, this is gaf. It's perfectly ok to attack people who I feel is wrong. Oh, wait? I read that it wasn't ok to do this. But time and time again, people like you get away with it.
