It's called frustration... it happens to best of us when talking to hard core creationists.
And she does have an agenda... she wants the Bible taught in science classes.

I didn't hear her mention that in the video. What is the difference between Dawkins agenda of promoting evolution even when there is nonfactual information being put in text books and her standing for creationism? Just like when all of the archeologist /scientist discovered the Miacid fossil and everyone flipped there lid thinking it was the missing link evolution had been looking for. ROFL :biglaugh:It's called frustration... it happens to best of us when talking to hard core creationists.

I hate it when people smile while talking when there's nothing to smile about. I hate it even more when they're visibly using the smile to mask the panic their eyes still freely communicate.

Sigh... actually she did, under the guise of "teach the controversy" and ID... the new buzzwords for creationism.

What "nonfactual information" are you talking about? Surely not Heckles embryos as they haven't been in a text book for several decades.
And I assume you are talking about Ida... who is a an Adapiform not a Miacid (vastly different critter) ... but the only people flipping their lid was the press... actual scientists were waiting for the scientific paper to be published.
Scientists were busy trying to reminding people that the term "missing link" is pointless and silly.

YEAH! Ida, I knew it was some stupid stink-en critter I just couldn't remember the name of it. Well Dawkins still seems to be obessed with the idea that we are kin to monkeys. Neanderthals were not monkeys, so what type of monkey is he referring to?Sigh... actually she did, under the guise of "teach the controversy" and ID... the new buzzwords for creationism.

I'm sorry I don't understand your question?
Are you asking why anyone should care about
A. The National Geographic website.
B. The timeline they present
C. The facts?

I don't have problem with any of the above, but where do you draw the line between what is enough or excess and move towards the future instead of walking backwards into the past.

Well, Aegyptopithecus zeuxis is an extremely ape-like "monkey" as is the range of species in the genus Pliopithecus. Who are even more ape-like save for a small tail remnant. Saadanius hijazensis, is a very "monkey like" ape.
So you have a pretty good set of transitional forms right there.
Plus, if you want more than fossils there are dozens of genetic studies showing humans are related to the old world monkeys more closely than the new world monkeys.
such as:
Adaptive evolution of cytochrome c oxidase subunit VIII in anthropoid primates â PNAS
not to mention molecular evidence and on and on...

Why does anyone care about anything?
I love to learn about the world before we came to be... and it is very helpful, especially for medicine.
