KENYA: Evangelical Leaders Tell Museum To Hide Bones Proving Human Evolution

The leaders of Kenya's evangelical movement are pressuring the national museum to remove a world-famous collection of bones which conclusively depict the evolution of apes to humans.

The collection includes the most complete skeleton yet found of Homo erectus, the 1.7 million-year-old Turkana Boy unearthed by Dr Leakey's team in 1984 at Nariokotome, near Lake Turkana in northern Kenya. The museum also holds bones from several specimens of Australopithecus anamensis, believed to be the first hominid to walk upright, four million years ago. Together the artefacts amount to the clearest record yet discovered of the origins of Homo sapiens.

Bishop Bonifes Adoyo, the head of Christ is the Answer Ministries: "The Christian community here is very uncomfortable that Leakey and his group want their theories presented as fact. Our doctrine is not that we evolved from apes, and we have grave concerns that the museum wants to enhance the prominence of something presented as fact which is just one theory."

1. Ahhh fundies

fucking up the entire world one piece at a time.

The damned Rapture can't come fast enough for me, just imagine the peace and quiet with that band of asshole spirited off to some cloud.

3. Welcome to the new dark ages

That brief spark of reason and progress ignited by the enlightenment is burning out. My hope is that the Chinese will finally throw of authoritarianism and embrace and promote a new era of science progress. America's star is obviously waning with the help of the anti-intellectualism of the right (and some left).
