"Ardi" in Science Magazine.
Evolutionists have long believed that first came the chimp which then evolved into man. One obstacle to proving their theory however, has been a lack of evidence for the intermediary steps between chimp and man. Now, they’ve discovered “Ardi” — and “Ardi” is turning their theory human-side up. Now some experts are thinking chimps evolved from humans.
“It is probably the most important find we have had yet,” says Owen Lovejoy, a biological anthropologist at Ohio’s Kent State University.
“It’s transformative. This is a lot closer to anything that you’d call the missing link than anything that’s ever been found,” says Lovejoy, one of the primary authors on the journal package.
Among other things, research on the 4.4 million year old creature suggests that humans are far more primitive in an evolutionary sense than the great apes — like chimps and gorillas — of today.
“In a way we’re saying that the old idea that we evolved from a chimpanzee is totally incorrect,” he says. “It’s more proper to say that chimpanzees evolved from us.”
(Could that line of thinking evoke howls of outrage is some creationist quarters? “Oh God yes,” Lovejoy laughs.)

Evolution has always been a fallacious theory which stands in direct opposition to Scripture. As we learn more about the universe (see Quantum Physics) old claims are proved false and God’s fingerprints are exposed all the more.
I don’t see how any Believer can have a view on Creation besides Genesis 1 and it’s CLEAR explanation of the 6-day account of creation. The Sabbath is for rest on the 7th day, when God rested, as outlined in Exodus 20.
All opposing theories will fall flat on their face – our God created man from the dust of the earth – He breathed life into us and not another. Let the truth resound!
