Roy Holt asked; "How far away from > Lucy did you find the knee?" (The knee bones were actually discovered > about a year earlier than the rest of Lucy). Dr. Johanson answered > (reluctantly) about 200 feet lower (!) and two to three kilometers away > (about 1.5 miles!). Continuing, Holt asked Yeah, I've heard this one before. Holt asked Johanson questions and took his replies out of context and deliberately misquoted him to make the creationist point later on to the faithful. Here's Johanson's letter of rebuttal, after he was informed of the pending creationist article: http://www.talkorigins.org/faqs/knee-joint/johanson1.html -- Cheers, Bama Brian Libertarian
