(in response to 4.4 million year old pre-human bones being reconstructed as closely as possible as to how the pre-human would have looked.)
There's no proof these parts belong to one another. You guys are true believers in your cause.

Sounds familiar.
Clergy to Galileo: "There's no proof those are moons belonging to Jupiter. You're just a true believe in your cause --- and thus a heretic. Confiscate his telescope and take him away!"
Yep. Different era, same attitude.
There's no proof these parts belong to one another.
There's no proof that Pluto isn't a giant meatball, either. Anybody can pull a harebrained hypothesis out of thin air and say "prove me wrong".
Yeah, except that they were found together in the same strata and the fit together in a logical manner. There is, however, no credible evidence showing you to be anything but a complete fool.
I think I'm going to trust someone with experience in the field and expertise on skeletal anatomy over someone like you. If they really don't go together, someone with said experience will point it out eventually. Plus there are usually multiple individuals of a species (well evidenced by finding more than one individual's fossilized remains).
You're referring to Ardipithecus ramidus , and the parts that were found did fit together and her skull was reconstructed. The skeleton was by no means complete but enough pieces were found and placed together over a three year period to get a good idea what she looked like, and it was done by people with far more expertise and training than you.
Fucking dolt.
...Except for the fact that they fit together, they were buried in the same place, and they're from the exact same time period. You know, what you usually refer to as evidence.
It took ten years for some 40 experts in numerous disciplines, working worldwide, to reconstruct ardipithicus ramidus , you raving moron.

Yes there is. The fact that you will deny ant proof presented out of hand speaks volumes about your intellectual dishonesty.
You guys are true believers in your cause.
Science isn't a "cause", it's a process in which knowledge can be gained through deductive logic and reason. As opposed to sitting there denying everything that isn't in your two millenia old book of fairy tales.
If the femur fits?
/sorry, I had to
Granted, I can't explain how the scientists/paleontologists/guys that dig up fossils know what belongs to whom, but I trust that they know what they're doing. After all, they've had the education to do so.

Yep, those other people over there, the ones who don't believe all the claims of a book pieced together from the ramblings of a bunch of bronze aged desert nomads. True believers, every one of them.
Actually there IS evidence these parts belong together. They were all found together in the same strata, AND they can be shown to fit together based on wear and tear at certain points of the bone. As joints are used, the ends receive a bit of wearing, which can be used to fit them back together quite easily and logically.
I wondered how long it would take for Ardi to show up here.
And while we're on the subject, there's no proof the different parts of the bible belong to one another. You guys are the true believers in this case.
"There's no proof these parts belong to one another."
And you think that the gospel of Matthew and the epistles of Paul go together? Your knowledge of anthropology is comparable to your knowledge of the bible; roughly zero!
“There's no proof these parts belong to one another.”
“You guys are true believers in your cause.”
Confused?
So were we! You can find all of this, and more, on Fundies Say the Darndest Things!
