The claims made about the fossil known as IDA, that the Darwinist David Attenborough lauded as the missing link sought for so many years and that the press heralded under headlines such as “the ancestor of man” and “the eighth wonder of the world,” attracted powerful criticism even from Darwinist scientists.
Darwinists suddenly shone the spotlight onto a lemur fossil that had been sitting quietly for the previous twenty six years. Some Darwinist scientists were initially cautious and made moderate statements to the effect that “it is still too early to call the fossil a missing link.” But the proapaganda has reached such terrifying dimensions, and become so ,blatant, that even Darwinist scientists have had to react against this lie.
In an article on the ABC News web site titled “The Missing Link?” the Johns Hopkins University and Carnegie Museum of Natural History paleontologist Chris Beard says, “This fossil is not as close to monkeys, apes, and humans AS WE ARE BEING LED TO BELIEVE.”306 In another article, this time in New Scientist magazine, titled “Why Ida Fossil is Not The Missing Link?” Beard explicitly states that Ida has no characteristics resembling those of human beings, for which reason it cannot be described as a missing link. According to the Darwinist Beard, no matter how much research is done on it, Ida is not, in that sense, the eighth wonder of the world.307 Instead, Beard explicitly says that the fossil is a perfect one that will provide us with information about biology.
Richard Kay, a paleontologist from Duke University, openly admits that we have no scientific to support the claims that Ida is the missing link. In other words, THERE IS NO EVIDENCE AT ALL.308 Elwyn Simons, another Duke University paleontologist, has said that Ida tells us nothing we did not know before.309
The Timesonline web site carried the following criticism:
Attenborough... was just one element of the MEDIA CIRCUS turning Ida into humanity’s newest and best link with its ancient past.
Such finds are usually unveiled to the world through the sober pages of an academic journal, but for Ida nothing less than a glittering press conference at the American Museum of Natural History in New York would do. Later the scientists who studied Ida outlined the details of their research. Their pronouncements were just as extravagant.310
Of course all Darwinists are well aware that Ida is not an intermediate form, but rather a perfect living fossil. Contrary to all the speculation, Ida is a flawless life form that lived in a perfect manner some 47 milion years ago. The fossil has been 95% preserved, making it possible to study all its details, but it has NOT ONE STRUCTURE EXHIBITING INTERMEDIATE FORM CHARACTERISTICS. This extraordinary finding IS PROOF OF THE FACT OF CREATION.
