SAYS MAN WAS HERE IN THE GLACIER AGE
He Tells Kansas City Convention that Ridicule His Retarded the Work of Archaeologists
Special to the New York Times
January 2, 1926 

Kansas City, Mo. Jan 1.__Abundant evidence has now been gathered in the Southwest, in California and in Mexico to establish the existence of men in the country during the age of glaciers in association with mammoths , mastodons and other extinct animals, according to Dr. Byron Cummings, Professor of Archaeology of the University of Arizona , who spoke today at a meeting of the American Association for the Advancement of Science.

The general acceptance of proof of the existence of ancient man in America has been delayed, according to Dr. Cummings, by the attitude of a few anthropologists of great note who prematurely committed themselves to the opinion that the first dwellers in America came only a few thousand years ago and have been defending their position by denouncing men who tell of the discoveries of Pleistocene , or ice age, human remains and relics.

The controversy between the anthropologists who hold that the first American immigrated here 7,000 or 8,000 years ago and those who hold that men were on the continent twenty, thirty of fifty thousand years ago, has been smoldering for years , but has reached an acute stage recently over the meaning of human bones and relics found in association with mammoth bones in Florida and elsewhere.

The conservative school, which regards the American aborigines as late immigrants from Asia, have insisted that the human bones and relics in question belong to comparatively recent times, but by digging operations, or the action of streams, or by some other cause, have become mixed with the bones of extinct animals of an earlier time. It is recognized, according to Dr. Cummings, that the American who finds ancient human remains on this continent will become the target for withering criticism from a group of men of great eminence among anthropologists.

SAYS RIDICULE RETARTED WORK

“Full investigation and careful tabulation of results,” he said “have too often been retarded by the storm of ridicule and abuse that has been heaped upon the heads of those who brought to light anything unusual. Some of our leading anthropologists have condemned without a hearing facts that are really incontrovertible, and good men have been hounded from the profession by others who happened to hold the centre of the stage at the time.

A few years ago some United Stated geologists were making investigations in Southern Arizona. One of them was kind enough to address the Faculty and students of the University of Arizona on some skeletal remains of the mammoth that had been found in our country. I suggested to the speaker that it would if he and his associates would continue their investigations in this old lake bed until they uncovered the fossil remains of man. The answer came back quick and straight—“Not on your life; if we find any human bones in these fossil beds, we’ll bury them instanter, pack our luggage and ask to be transferred to some other locality . We are not going to risk our professional reputation by finding any Pleistocene man.”

“Primitive crania are found in the ancient caves of the arid plateau of our Southwest—and in Mexico thirty feet below the surface, buried eighteen feet beneath an ancient lava flow: but the chins of these crania do not conform with the Neanderthal type of Europe and therefore, cannot be primitive.………

The point is not that we agree with the evolutionary dating scheme, it’s that science is not the objective search for the truth that many imagine and that “science” claims for itself. The ruling, evolutionary paradigm is often just as willing to turn on its own as it is on creationists.His final complaint is especially instructive. Scientists had decided to call Neanderthal “primitive” even though what they really had were a populaton with similar physical features. Men found at a depth elsewhere which would make them older that Neanderthal, (according to science) were unacceptable because they appeared too “Modern”, i.e. with differing facial consructions than Neanderthal. The truth is, all men are modern and having a thicker skull or a fuller chin does not confer superiority or inferiority—or “evolutionary advantage”. 

If only Virginia Steen-McIntyre had read this article before she published her controversial (out of the accepted time sequence) claims, she might still have her career.

According to Wikipedia, Epigraphy is the study of inscriptions or epigraphs engraved into stone or other durable materials, or cast in metal, the science of classifying them as to cultural context and date, elucidating them and assessing what conclusions can be deduced from them.

Got that?

Epigraphic societies, which exist all over the U.S usually publish and maintain esoteric historical records cataloguing such things as ancient writing, ancient monuments and ancient artifacts of the geographical area. Epigraphic societies have been the source of some of the data featured here at s8int.com.

That being the case, why is the Midwestern Epigraphic Society apparently engaged in suppressing the most important information about a sensational Moberly, Missouri coal mine discovery in 1885?

“The shot heard round the world” that started the American Revolution came on April 19, 1775. On April 18 this year, a seriously funny documentary is scheduled to hit 1,000 theaters across America and fire a shot that will go unheard if debate-phobic Darwinists get their way.The 100-minute documentary, Expelled, is perfect for adults and children of middle-school age or above: It should be rated R not for sex or violence but for being reasonable, radical, risible, and right. (It is rated PG for thematic material, some disturbing images, and brief smoking.) The expelling of Intelligent Design (ID) proponents from universities is not a laughing matter, but star Ben Stein is amusing as he walks, in dark suit and bright running shoes, from interview to interview with scientists and philosophers on both sides of the evolution debate.

, is perfect for adults and children of middle-school age or above: It should be rated R not for sex or violence but for being reasonable, radical, risible, and right. (It is rated PG for thematic material, some disturbing images, and brief smoking.) The expelling of Intelligent Design (ID) proponents from universities is not a laughing matter, but star Ben Stein is amusing as he walks, in dark suit and bright running shoes, from interview to interview with scientists and philosophers on both sides of the evolution debate.Expelled rightly equates Darwinian stifling of free speech with the Communist attempt to enslave millions behind the Berlin Wall. One Expelled scene shows Stein, mathematician David Berlinski (a sophisticated Paris resident), and nuclear physicist Gerald Schroeder (wearing a yarmulke), all now ID advocates, discussing the importance of freedom as they visit a remnant of the Wall. All three are Jewish, and they don’t look or talk like the hicks portrayed in Inherit the Wind.

Stein, giving the Darwinists he interviews plenty of time to make their case, is particularly effective in his conversation with Richard Dawkins, atheistic author of the best-selling The God Delusion. Dawkins astoundingly admits that life on earth could be the result of ID, as long as the designer was a being from outer space who was himself the product of atheistic evolution. No God allowed!

Expelled’s showing of the connection between evolutionary doctrine and Nazi eugenics has already infuriated some in academia and the media: University of Minnesota professor P.Z. Myers blasted Expelled as “ludicrous in its dishonesty,” and Orlando Sentinel reviewer Roger Moore raged about “loaded images, loaded rhetoric.” But since a movie is not a dissertation, films show linkages by juxtaposing clips rather than pages of footnoted type. The real question is: Did Darwinism bulwark Hitlerian hatred by providing a scientific rationale for killing those considered less fit in the struggle for survival?

The answer to that question is an unambiguous yes. When I stalked the stacks of the Library of Congress in the early 1990s, I saw and scanned shelf upon shelf of racist and anti-Semitic journals from the first several decades of the last century, with articles frequently citing and applying Darwin. If you read an anti-Expelled review that dodges the issue of substance by concentrating merely on style, you’ll be seeing another sign of closed minds.

April 18 will bring an interesting test of whether Expelled, or any other documentary so conceived and so dedicated, can endure in movie theaters past the first weekend. Michael Moore’s fatuous documentaries have done good box office with the help of sympathetic reviewers and network news producers. Ben Stein’s excellent one might rely on evangelicals and others who are tired of being ridiculed by the closed minds of the Evolution Establishment.
