Another one bites the dust...

It was billed as one of the most important fossil finds in history, a “missing link” that would challenge everything we knew about human evolution.

Darwinius masillae, the primitive primate that was unveiled to the world with huge fanfare and a Sir David Attenborough documentary in May, seems now to have been less of a missing link than an evolutionary dead end. Far from being an ancestor to humans, the lemur-like creature from 47 million years ago belongs to an entirely different branch of the primate family tree that has left no known descendants, research has indicated

See, this is why I don't get all worked up when the newspapers explode with breathless screams of excitement over the newest "missing link." A month, a year, a couple of years, and the little bit of Darwinian idiocy gets debunked.

God's Word stands firm, and God Himself mocks our foolish attempts to remove Him from His throne:

Why do the nations rage and the peoples plot in vain? The kings of the earth set themselves, and the rulers take counsel together, against the LORD and against his Anointed, saying, "Let us burst their bonds apart and cast away their cords from us."

He who sits in the heavens laughs;
the Lord holds them in derision.
Then he will speak to them in his wrath,
and terrify them in his fury, saying,
"As for me, I have set my King
on Zion, my holy hill."

We are made in the image of the God of this universe; we did not "evolve" out of pond scum. We are far more precious and noble than the evolutionist could ever dream - and we are the only creatures for whom God chose to give His life and ransom us from the clutches of sin, death, and hell.

Darwinius masillae? A glorious and beautifully designed animal - but only an animal, and not a human.

O LORD, our Lord, how majestic is your name in all the earth! You have set your glory above the heavens. Out of the mouth of babies and infants, you have established strength because of your foes, to still the enemy and the avenger.

When I look at your heavens, the work of your fingers,
the moon and the stars, which you have set in place,
what is man that you are mindful of him,
and the son of man that you care for him?

Yet you have made him a little lower than the heavenly beings
and crowned him with glory and honor.
You have given him dominion over the works of your hands;
you have put all things under his feet,
all sheep and oxen,
and also the beasts of the field,
the birds of the heavens, and the fish of the sea,
whatever passes along the paths of the seas.

O LORD, our Lord,
how majestic is your name in all the earth! (Psalm 8)

I look forward with great anticipation to MSM coverage of this news that will, no doubt, be commensurate with the coverage they gave the unveiling of the fossil.

I mean, they wouldn't fail to adequately cover this just because they have an axe to grind, would they?

To Psalm 8 - I would like to say AMEN! :-)
