Romans 1:22
"When visiting churches in Europe, one soon is introduced to the sacred bones of the ancient saints.
Not only religion, but Science also has its own sacred bone icons.

A leading icon of Science in our age is the collection of bone fragments of ‘Lucy’—Australopithecus afarensis—the supposed early ancestor of modern man. In paleoanthropologist Bernard Woods’ words, Lucy is paleoanthropology’s superstar. One example of her icon status is that her bones are securely protected

is to be featured on a nation’s postage stamps.
"Inside a specially constructed safe at the National Museum of Ethiopia in Addis Ababa [where] sit the fragile remains of the world’s most celebrated human ancestor. She was once a hardy survivor in an unforgiving environment, but now her partial skeleton receives round-the-clock protection in a temperature-controlled setting."

A Facebook website on illustrations of human evolution on stamps has 3.4 thousand members.
Even some leading paleontologists have expressed major reservations about Lucy. Professor Bernard Wood listed reasons for his concerns about the significance of Lucy including that although she is “one of the most complete early-hominin fossils in terms of the number of bones preserved, even if the quality of their preservation leaves something to be desired.” In his American Scientist article, Wood added that there is
Q: Could she walk upright most of the time or only in short leaps such as some primates do today.

"......reason to think that A. afarensis is a good candidate to be an ancestor of modern humans, but I’m not yet convinced. The good news is that we have pieces of nearly all of Lucy’s six long bones; the bad news is that the missing parts make estimating the maximum length of each limb and its segments (the arm/forearm and thigh/leg) a scientific guessing game.”

Q: How human was she?
Q: Or was she a normal ape, as claimed by some including the creation scientists at Answers in Genesis?
-----If this is the star case evolutionists have for evolution than all of the other claimed examples present even worse cases.

If Lucy was given a D- as her grade in support of evolution, that means all of the other fossils touted in support of evolution would have a failing grade of F."
