It doesn't turn over human evolution or even call it into question. It adds new information to make the hypotheses of migration more correct. It adds context.
Why try to distort reality like you and these authors are doing?
What is hilarious about this is that the human teeth are CLEARLY, UNDENIABLY older than 6000 years old by all accounts. So then you'll say the dating isn't reliable? Oh, the dating is reliable if it can be used to distort facts and try to deny evolution, but if it supports an old earth, then the dating isn't reliable... Oh I get it.

No, that's silly. It is scientists who found these teeth. Scientists use the available information and form hypotheses out of them. Their hypotheses can certainly be wrong, Dead wrong. But that does not discredit the scientific enterprise or those hypotheses which are confirmed as correct!
This "out of africa" business was based on very little information (all that they had). Now there is more information. So the narrative must be altered to accept the new information and incorporate it. To say that because of this, scientists can't be trusted to say anything correctly, would be a serious logical error.
(btw, unlike your evangelical 'friends' at that site, scientists do not reject new information, they have no choice but to consider it all, and changing this theory reflects that).
--- Quote ---I must say, these Evangelical Christians are a bit theologically challenged, but they know their science!

They know the "science" (pseudoscience) that they make up, but they do little else except distort actual science for propaganda purposes because the facts uncovered make them uncomfortable and the conclusions drawn from the facts make them uncomfortable.

--- Quote from: Dan Ben Noah on January 24, 2011, 11:30:52 PM ---Scientists can only be trusted when they're dealing with something they can actually observe to occur over and over again. They can't observe how the earth was created or how long humans have been around, because they can't go back in time, so they have to make theories. Since they are continuously making huge "adjustments" with regard to these theories, they clearly didn't know what they were talking about to begin with so there is no reason to trust them with anything regarding Earth's ancient past. Widely accepted theories will continue to be proven wrong, and eventually scientists will have to keep fine tuning their theories until they line up with creationism. If creationists were allowed to officially contribute, science would get there faster, but due to the atheistic bias of the establishment, that's not going to happen.

Even if you really think all of that - which I think is completely false and fallacious line of argument but don't feel like arguing right now - still don't you agree that this article they wrote about the teeth was dishonest and/or disingenuous?
