Ida Fossil Missing Link Hoax Debunked: Why Ida Darwinius Was Never Human Ancestor

The worse example of nonsensical mutational faith is the sad tale of little Ida. Ida Darwinius, to be more accurate.

She is the another tiny girl horribly mistreated by the palaeontologists – first Ardi, then Lucy (whose tragic lives appear elsewhere)and now, alas, Ida.

This is terrible child abuse.

And the poor thing actually met her untimely end at about nine months old – allegedly 47 million years ago.

Ida Darwinius Declared the Missing Link

Her full name was Ida Darwinius.

She was declared ‘the missing link – the eighth wonder of the world’ in May 2009.

Ever heard that before?

Thus, she was given the greatest of all honours and called after her creator – Darwin.

Ida was the name of her discoverer’s own daughter – upon whom we wish a better fate.

Yet, by October 2009, tragically, Ida had been cruelly dumped, a homeless child, relegated to a distant, formerly unknown primitive lemur.

Yes, she was old.

Yes, she was beautifully preserved.

But, no, she provided no evidence whatsoever for any links to anything.

She proved again however that evolutionists will clutch at any fossilised straw.

Ida was an unfortunate victim who was kidnapped by the press, a television channel and the usual troop of media monkeys.

Enthusiastic Quotations from Ida Darwinius Fossil Launch

The important point is that the true scientists all seemed enthusiastic.

Just read these quotations from her spectacular launching:

This fossil is so complete. Everything’s there. It’s unheard of in the primate record at all. You have to get to human burial to see something that is this complete. This fossil will probably be pictured in all the text books for the next hundred years. This is the first link to all humans – truly a fossil that links world heritage. Dr Jørn Hurum – Natural History Museum, University of Oslo

It’s really a kind of Rosetta Stone. Professor Philip Gingerich – Museum of Palaeontology, University of Michigan

In terms of a complete skeleton, it’s hard to think of anything else in primate evolution that is as complete as this fossil. Dr Holly Smith – Museum of Anthropology, University of Michigan

We have not only the complete skeleton but we have also the complete soft body outline and the gut contents. Dr Jens Lorenz Franzen – Senckenberg Research Institute

This fossil rewrites our understanding of the early evolution of primates. Dr Jörg Habersetzer – Senckenberg ResearchI Institute records.

This little creature is going to show us our connection with all the rest of the mammals. The link they would have said until now is missing… it is no longer missing. Sir David Attenborough, Broadcaster & Naturalist

Now each one of these men genuinely believed what they were saying.

Our question must be, ‘Why?’

Ida Fossil Launch and Rapid Demotion

Despite her sulking for some 25 years in a museum drawer; despite half her skeleton being surreptitiously sold; despite fake copies; despite all this – her launch was star-studded and had the media in hysterics (i.e. normal) mode for weeks.

The story is simple and oft-repeated.

As usual, imaginative but entirely unsustainable claims were made.

The faithful raised their hands to their gods in gratitude.

As usual, their deep and unshakable faith in Darwin caused Hope to replace not only Scrutiny but even Common-sense.

Then someone shouted ‘Ida has no clothes’ and – cover thine delicate eyes!

Even the faithful had to admit the claims were nonsense dressed up in scientific jargon.

Like her many predecessors, poor little Ida was demoted to a shamed pile of bones.

As usual, nobody squeaked a squeak; as usual, there were no admissions of a scam or mistake.

As usual, both mighty pillars of truth and transparency, academia and the press, held their lips tightly closed.

Dr Jørn Hurum on Ida Not Being Missing Link

Her major discoverer, Dr Jørn Hurum – Natural History Museum, University of Oslo, seemed not to be too abashed when his evolutionary peers concluded, within five months of her launch, that sad, abused, very dead Ida was definitely not a missing link and had taught us nothing new.

Apparently, lemur-like creatures were wandering around 47 millions years.

Also, they died.

Apparently, this one was fossilised.

By October 2009, Associated Press’s acclaimed (and very non-creationist) science writer, Mr Malcolm Ritter, was writing an article ‘Primate Fossil Called Only a Distant Relative’.

An entire industry had been founded on Ida and had to be aborted.

Millions had been spent on memorabilia, books, pictures and other merchandise.

A book ‘The Link: Uncovering our Earliest Ancestor?’ had been published.

An extremely embarrassing BBC (no less) TV documentary had been hailed as that of the century.

Why Ida Fossil is Not the Missing Link

Yes, it all turned out to be hyperbolic speculation and was sneered at – by those in the establishment who had not come out publicly on Ida’s side.

A whole new genus and species, Ida Darwinius masillae, had been created and then had to be uncreated.

The New Scientist, Lay Science and Live Science all had no problem in reporting that Ida was definitely not a missing link.

The New Scientist indeed cheerfully published an article – ‘Why Ida Fossil is not the Missing Link’ by Dr Christopher Beard, the curator of vertebrate palaeontology at the august Carnegie Museum of Natural History.

He boldly wrote:

In order to establish that connection (with human ancestors) Ida would have to have anthropoid-like features that evolved after anthropoids split away from lemurs and early primates. Here, alas, Ida fails miserably. So, Ida is not a ‘missing link’—at least not between anthropoids and more primitive primates. Further study may reveal her to be a missing link between other species of Eocene adapiforms, but this hardly solidifies her status as the ‘eighth wonder of the world’.

This is because adapidae is a family of small extinct lemur-like beasts that scuttled ‘amongst the trees between 30 and 50 million years ago’.

Apparently, if they had wet noses they were lemur-ish; if they had dry noses they were monkey-ish.

Unfortunately, however fully preserved her remains were, Ida’s handkerchief was not found near her body.

But with or without a wet nose, no one had posited that adapidae were any sort of missing link.

Ramifications of the Ida Story

Please now consider seriously the ramifications of the Ida story.

Do you trust the judgement of even brilliant and honest palaeontologists?

Yes, there was some coverage of her demise but astonishing there is still a wealth of well-funded activities, research and acid house parties in her name.

Even as a maybe she still makes money.

Remember our mantra 1: All of mutationists’ claims are better explained by completely non-Darwinian, common-sense causes.

Is there not a very strong ring of truth reverberating across the universe?

Again, mistakes can be made.

And this was not a fraud.

But it is a powerful lesson and one repeatedly ignored.

It was evolutionists kidding themselves and being believed by their peers.

Blind Faith

These examples mean that I could never accept evolution as anything other than an imaginative way of interpreting ambiguous evidence.

It just doesn’t add up – unless it’s your livelihood or excuses your life style or, as often is the case, does both.

Whichever way mutationists twist and wriggle, move the goal posts and bluster, a moment’s serious consideration forces every sane objective person to reject their faith.

However, the objectivity gene seems to have been bred out of modern man.

This mutation nonsense fuels our ridiculous Weltanschauung.

Dare to consider perhaps for a moment the unthinkable.

Our youth rush to drown their sorrows in the world of coke-Nike-Gucci-smartphone-media-drink-drugs-paganism (in a mild or extreme form.)

The rest of us watch, limply following our daily earn-spend routine.

Enjoy It But Don’t Let It Destroy You

Now I strongly recommend coke, Nike and Gucci and relish a dram of Ardberg or Laphroaig.

They are wonderful things.

Spend lots on them and enjoy.

But do not let them define you.

We have mutated from Homo sapiens to Homo stultus.

As discussed, the very last of us – the surviving Caucasian middle-class do not want to know.

We have destroyed our planet; we have practically no children; the wealthy corporate bosses and politicians feed off us – for no purpose because they have no children to inherit the fruits of their cannibalism; we are aware of our shallow emptiness – for no purpose because we are helpless to affect our masters; those with causes to fight, do so for no purpose – because they have no children to inherit the fruits of their idealism; those who fight like dogs for wealth – do so for no purpose – except for shallow hedonistic pleasures.

Innumerable studies prove that the wealthiest are the most discontented class.

But they will of course chortle, ‘Not me – money gives me everything!’

Everything?

The fat cats have no kittens and all say ‘I do not care!’

Know something?

I do not believe them in the darkness of their sleepless nights – (without drugs or drinks).

The Entertainment Keeping You Blinded

So, perhaps we should shake off our blind faith in this media and entertainment-driven insane existence.

Consider again the word itself – ‘entertainment’.

Enter- (‘inter’) means ‘within/between’.

‘-tainment’ from tenere means ‘to hold’.

Having meant, from Old French – entretenir – to hold within, maintain inhouse (servants) – it came to mean to ‘hold’ (attention) ‘between’ (the important matters).

Originally, between the courses of a banquet, important events or meaningful sections of a feast or royal meeting or celebration, the attendees would be ‘enter-tained’ – their attention ‘held between’ – by ‘diverse japes, amusements, fripperies and mummers’ displays, consorts of sackbuts, hautboys and viols’.

A Brief Sideshow To The Main Aim Of Our Lives

‘Entertainment’ was meant to be a brief sideshow.

Today it is practically most people’s whole life.

We only stop staring at a screen or other entertainment when we are forced not to do so.

Everything is the media or entertainment.

It is no longer enter-tainment.

It is constanstainment – constant brainwashing.

Look at your clothes.

Why did you choose them?

Your coffee?

The phone?

Your … everything.

May I dare to suggest that perhaps we climb out of this hall of mirrors?

Approach everything in the same way as you approach religion.

Approach mutation in the same way as you approach religion.

I dare you.

Remember, mutation, the fake, is at the foundation of our fake world.

The Church of Immaculate Mutation

To summarise our findings, it is elementary to see that the Church of Immaculate Mutation is the most unbelievable faith.

The Single Relevant Fact stares worshippers in the face, and they all carry on dancing around their idol.

They come from animals and so can behave like them.

The Fact – there never ever has been found one single beneficial mutation in one single gene – never mind the billions upon billions required theoretically to produce you or even me.

We have witnessed the discovery of a fossilised monkey (Lucy) or small primate (Ardi or Ida) or a bump in an ear of a deer/hyena beastie (Pakicetus).

Also, we have been assured that these (probably, possibly, almost, speculatively) proved the identity of the great[to the power of 20] grand-mamas of Napoleon or of Moby Dick, respectively.

We have noted the lack of a scintilla of legally-acceptable evidence.

Let us be transparent.

The Clueless “Experts”

The experts have nothing but endless supposition and bones.

These promote innumerable competitions in ingenuity and imagination to fit them in to Darwinism and prove nothing but the strength and fervour of their undying, blind faith.

Evolutionists insist that they are dealing with only cold proven fact and that they claim nothing that is not proven by their finds.

Let them examine their faith with the same microscope that they try to turn on others.

Seriously.

Get a life.

Refuse to believe anything until it is judicially or scientifically truly proven beyond any reasonable doubt.

No faith can claim that.

Evolution is the weakest of all faiths.

Yet you still regard me as a maniac for not kneeling alongside you and kowtowing to the ultimate god – Charlie.

And forget not that he was a racialist, misogynist proto-Nazi in his own words.

But his doctrine frees the world from personal morality and is therefore not to be questioned.
