OT: "Lucy" Approved for Tour

I read this is today's paper:

"Washington, D.C. The State Department gave final approval Wednesday for one of the world's most famous fossils - the 3.2 million-year-old Lucy skeleton unearthed in Ethoipia in 1974 - to tour the United States on exhibit for the first time."

??????????????????

Were not some people in here telling me that "it has not been proven" that the Earth is over 10,000 years old??? How can these scientists claim with such certainty that this hominid skeleton is millions of years old???

Are they are ignorant fools pulling ridiculous numbers out of their asses?

Do they have The Devil for a father, which leads them to make these OBVIOUSLY false claims?

Why does the newspaper not question these numbers???? Why are these numbers reported as accepted fact????

No one wants to comment? Seems to me that burning in hell for all eternity, because you think that the Earth is millions of years old, is a little more important than what car you drive, or even the immigration bill, for that matter...

Well, and then there was this today - about penguins that appear to have been approx. 4'11" tall, & lived in what is now Peru 40 millions of years ago - on Talk of the Nation, Science Friday: `````````````````` Giant Penguin Fossils Found in Peru

Talk of the Nation, June 29, 2007

Excerpt: "New evidence suggests that giant penguins once lived in a Peruvian desert more than 40 million years ago in the middle and late Eocene period. Researchers in Peru unearthed fossils of two species of ancient penguins, one of which stood over five feet tall and wielded a seven-inch beak."

As an aside, harking back to the original subject: I wouldn't want to be the curators responsible for Lucy while she's on tour!
