This is Chewbacca Defense-level nonsense. I don't even know where to begin.

"Science cannot be used to prove evolution is true, but it can be used to prove it's false."
That's technically true. The beauty of science is that nothing is assumed to be the absolute truth. Even the most rock solid theory could be proven wrong one day.
Science deniers though will obviously only require proof for those scientific theories they dislike without applying the same standard to their own ideas.
Its amusing how the creationists have mostly stopped trying to attack "deep time" and instead really misuse science.
Like that "finger". Do they think early hominids didnt have fucking hands and fingers or something? That we were all snakes or clawed devils?
If you really want to be stupidly speculative and assume that's an actual piece of an animal, you could just as easily speculate that it's, say, a condor talon.
Yeah, but my point is, even if it is a finger, and thats a pretty massive if. And if its a soft tissue fossil from 3MYA.
So what?
It fits the overall shape of the end of a finger of any great ape. Sure, it would be a stupendous scientific find, but it couldn't disprove evolution.
How dope wpuld it be if it was a thumb of gigantalopithicus?
I would not put any stock in this except that Milo Rossi (Miniminuteman) is an archaeologist who specializes in debunking bad archaeology made a video saying it wasn't complete nonsense, but apparently there is a site which, if proven to show what it seems to show, would indicate that some sort of pre-homo sapiens hominid was in North America 130,000 years ago.

This is extremely preliminary, so it's one of those "stay tuned" sort of things, but wouldn't that be incredible? We know that Homo Erectus spread all the way to the Eastern end of China and north into Siberia, so it's not absolutely impossible that it happened.
“Look at this thumb!”
Okay, let’s pretend it’s a thumb and not some kind of concretion. Why does it have more nails at the base of the thumb?? What fuckin anatomy is going on there? This relies entirely on you glancing at it for half a second on Facebook and seeing the right trigger words to not look at it any harder.
Also, I'm willing to buy that skin might be preserved somehow, but not the soft tissues underneath it. Not s perfectly preserved whole thing including the fucking cuticles.
Everyone knows adipose tissue is the first to fossilize.
Is this insanepeoplefacebook or aneurysmposting?
They're the same picture.
Yes.
How is that fossil 3 million years old when the earth is only 6000 years old?
My dumb ass was about to correct you before realizing it's a Christian reference
Ha, I was waiting to be downvoted to oblivion by people who didn't get the joke.
Bro, I think that's a rock.
I see a potatoe.
I see we hew to the Dan Quayle philosophy of spelling.
For this argument, this seemed the appropriate spelling.
The ideal argument against this is that photo of a smorgasbord of food where all the food is actually a rock.
That's definitely 100% a penis.
It even has a nail, just like a regular penis.
You might want to see a doctor?
Or a turd.
