Ultimately there is no comparison between science and religion. They're two different things with two distinct purposes. Evolution in no way disproves the existence of God, it only reveals creation myths as just that. The role of religion isn't to teach us the history of Earth, but to enlighten the spirit. If someone can use pure scientific methodology to prove the statements found in the bible in an unbiased manner, these findings would hold water, but that isn't the point. The point is that religion is about spiritual enlightenment, rather than historical accuracy.

Anyway, back to the Point; This is an incredible find that allows me personally to feel much more connected to this world we all live in. It's harrowing to learn that humanoid species have existed for so much longer than we might have ever imagined.

Though, the offered explanations for "Ardi"s smaller canine teeth and bipedality feel a little forced. I'm curious as to what constitutes evidence of the use of tools, as it seems to me that "Ardi" may easily used, say, sticks or rocks as primitive tools.
