Million-year-old camel bone unearthed in Syria

DAMASCUS, Syria - Scientists have unearthed a camel jawbone in the Syrian desert that they think may be a previously unknown tiny species of the animal and say dates back a million years.

The jawbone was found last month near the village of Khowm in the Palmyra region, about 150 miles northeast of Damascus, said Heba al-Sakhel, the head of the Syrian National Museum who was one of the leaders of the team of Syrian and Swiss researchers.

Last year, the team discovered the bones of a giant camel in Syria dating back 100,000 years. That animal stood between 10 and 13 feet tall — about twice the size of latter-day camels and the height at the shoulder of many African elephants.

2. I thought it was Satan who put all the old-looking bones around.

Satan also rigged the carbon so carbon-14 dating would make fossils seem very old, and arranged rock strata all around the world to simulate an earth billions of years old.

Satan did this (the bastard!) to make us think that the Bible is false, you see. Either that, or God did it (the scamp!) to test our faith in the truth of the Bible.

It is hard for me to accept, but this is what young-earth fundamentalists, including Miss Piggy, actually believe!

4. I'm not defending Palin. But, there are several different versions
of Creationism. Only one of them dates the creation of the Earth as less than 10,000 years. The others accept the scientific age date of about 4.6 billion years.

She may or may not be among those who date the Earth as less than 10,000 years.
