They will release a statement in a few months saying admitting it was just a guess just like the last "proof of the big bang"

So, this totally screws up the new atheist movement who rely so much on evolution...not only can they still not explain the origin of life, but their timeline is now shot to hell

Hadn't thought of it like that, pretty good point. These atheist assholes don't even know when evolution supposedly took place, and they want us to think that there's no God based on their best guesses. The worst part is that they're infecting our children's minds with this bullshite. This kind of "research" needs to just be stopped.

That is insane. That's a discovery of multicellular life prior to when many biologists and geologists believed life itself had begun. This is truly groundbreaking and will completely re-write historical geology textbooks as well as completely change our understanding of the origins of life on earth. No biggie

This is amazing.

So much for science classes

This article is from 2010.
I'm slightly confused why this isn't a huge deal.
Fake?

It's weird how people who don't believe in God can't be genuinely interested in a pretty awesome scientific discovery without mentioning that which they do not believe.
It screams insecurity.

Yep. Pretty funny, though.

please explain how this throws a wrench in anything relating to evolution
You say that like evolution was a one time event. Get educated on topics before you spout off creationism and look like a fool

Evolution isn't an atheist movement. It is scientific research which is based on observations and discoveries. It find it sad that there are adults in this country that still don't understand the scientific method and worse, their kids are going to lack the same understandings.

You can deny God all you want. I don't suggest it. What you can not do is prevent his will.

I don't really believe in carbon dating as an accurate form of telling life. Since we don't really know the age of the carbon anyway.
I was told the earth isn't that old and I believe it.
It's my thought that these fossils and things were put here for us to test the plan of the creator.
But if we listen to the words written we know the earth cannot be that old.
3/10?

This "discovery" takes nothing away from God.
This is no "gotcha" moment.
Agreed...unless you happen to be a YEC. But then, anyone that is still a YEC has no interest in examining evidence, so new evidence that pushes an already impossible date even further back is completely irrelevant. To those that have to believe the entire universe is around 10,000 years old, it matters little if science finds life at 600 million or 2 billion. It has to be wrong because it has to be wrong.
As for the discovery, very very cool. This is, after all, what science does. It refines our knowledge base as new information and new ways of discovery things come in. For some, the fact that this may push back the established time line by 1.5 billion years will be seen as a failure of science and how "it's always wrong." For the rest of us rational folks, this is seen as a sharpening of our knowledge...like going from flat, to spherical, to oblate spheroid when describing the earth as we got better and better at measuring it. To say that earlier descriptions were "wrong" may be accurate...but to suggest it was as wrong as the first belief or that we will suddenly come to the conclusion that the earth is actually a cube or that life is actually 10,000 years old is just asinine.
These folks are in the same camp as those who will ask for and receive evidence of a transitional fossil between 2 species, only to then point at the new gaps created between the the old fossils and the new one and claim we now have two NEW spots to fill. Ugh...

Here we go again. The atheist "gotcha" assumes Christ revolves around a young earth.
Christianity revolves around Christ alone. Whether the earth is 6000 or 6 trillion years old, God defeated sin once and for all.

I can subscribe to the majority of the current theory of evolution without agreeing with every single mechanic and facet. To believe that there is not, never was, and will never be a single instance of evolution upon this earth is a pretty laughably ignorant stance. However, someone who subscribes to the former is often thrown into the same category as the latter by many members of the media, academia, and the science community.
Evolution has become very similar to global warming in that respect. Just because one disagrees with one portion of the debate, they are marginalized and thrown in with the ignoramuses who know nothing, when in fact, it is their vast knowledge and expertise on the matter that give them the ability to reason for themselves and come to differing conclusions from the "consensus". These findings should be challenged, debated, and tested rather than ridiculed, ignored, and ostracized, but unfortunately, that's just not the world we live in. Politicized science is and always will be bad science.

The enemy wants you to self-worship.
News flash, we aren't as wise as our creator.
You may however be very wise, but if you cant put it into action it may seem foolish.
