Are Fossils evidence of evolution ....or are the evidence of fossils

Yes.   The orientation of the facet on that bone is diagnostic for flat feet.   That's how podiatrists can tell that Lucy had flat feet.

So, realistically, not theoretically speaking here, we are not ever discussing the Ankle Bone, or we're claiming the Ankle/Foot Bones are a compilation of a single unit, or the bone found is a bone for the FOOT itself alone?

The “real” Lucy is stored in a specially constructed safe in the Paleoanthropology Laboratories of the National Museum of Ethiopia in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia.

Can she be observed?

Depends if they keep her in Schrodinger's box.

the flask of poison and radioactive device is most likely the key to her survival

Young Earth Creationists tend to "believe in" only the science that supports their presuppositions. Most have very little understanding of the science they reject. This thread is solid evidence supporting that observation.

Science is a tool of observation and testing.  It's an excellent tool, but effectively it's no different than a screwdriver.  It has no opinions, no theories, it does not 'prove' things, and is not your pal.  You will find that a screw driver has those same lack of characteristics.    If you think scientist's opinions are 'science,' then you have stepped outside of what science is and what it can do.

When you mention the a priori fallacy, it's typically the Evolutionists who do this, not the Creationists.  Creationists simply deny the bogus stories the Evolutionists tend to present as evidence, but which is really just someone's speculation.

We have seen, time after time in this thread, that Young Earth Creationist arguments against evolution fall apart under close scrutiny.

You mean Evolutionists do.  Creationists simply believe God's story. 

Are you saying God's story falls apart under close scrutiny?

Not really. After 50 pages of this thread, there has been no serious challenge to the mainstream view of evolution (as described by scientists and not as a strawman argument), that could not be quickly, clearly, and thoroughly refuted.

I understand the attempt. However, in the fixation on Genesis 1 and 2 as a literal account, most YEC refuse to look seriously at the evidence that God has left for us.

Not at all. I'm saying God's story is not one of 144 hour creation that occurred 6000 years ago.

You are creatively interpreting data, and think you are right about it.  You think you have actually seen Darwinian Evolution, but you have not.

If you have actually read Genesis, it's pretty clear.  Genesis itself counters Evolution Theory.  I think Satan is laughing at those who fall for DE.

You doubt God could create this environment in 144 hours? 

He said he made everything in 6 days, and rested the 7th.

Not in the least. However, I think the evidence He gave us makes it pretty clear that He didn't.
