  • Updating the article on Lucy's Knee Joint

    From David Young@21:1/5 to All on Thu Oct 12 02:46:49 2023
    This article:
    https://www.talkorigins.org/faqs/knee-joint.html
    on the attempts to get the falsehood of Lucy's knee joint being found in a separate location from the rest of the skeleton, is now over twenty years old.

    Would now be a good time to update it and see if any other creationist publishers have now corrected what they have said about it?

    I regret to inform you that the people who maintain the talkorigins website no longer frequent the talk.origins usenet group. Nobody here has the keys
    to make any updates. Feel free to craft an update and post it here if you like.

    Oh, that's a bit of a shame.

    I was wondering if the falsehood will still be circulating in 2027, forty years after it first appeared. That would then match the earliest date between the events of Mark's gospel and the events it describes, making it an interesting comparison.

    Has anyone here heard the Lucy's-knee-joint falsehood used by any creationists in the past few years?
