All Gods Fail Posted April 7, 2006 Share Posted April 7, 2006 This is pretty amazing: People who doubt the truth of Darwinian evolution love to claim that there are no transitional fossils—no remains of ancient creatures that have the characteristics of two different kinds of organism, mixed together. If evolution were true, you'd expect to see them. Actually, you do: transitional forms like Archaeopteryx, a lizard-like bird, have been known for many decades, and more pop up all the time. But casts from a newly discovered fossil, slated to go on display at the London Science Museum tomorrow are, by all accounts, the most impressive example to date of a transitional form. They come from a remarkable creature, mostly fish-like but with some clear adaptations that let it operate on land. It fits perfectly with the conventional tale told by evolutionists the epochal moment when animals first began to emerge from their ancestral ocean. The evidence keeps building...

Aqua Kitty Posted April 7, 2006 Share Posted April 7, 2006 When I read this today, it really made me happy. Maybe this will put an end to the Intelligent Design vs. Evolution "debate." IMO, this is an important triumph for our schools here in the US. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Entgegen Posted April 7, 2006 Share Posted April 7, 2006 Kinda' funny how the "sponsored links" at the bottom of the page are all to creationist or ID websites.

Alexandrian Posted April 7, 2006 Share Posted April 7, 2006 This does present a strong challenge to the Creationists. If God created the world out of nothing- why would he create a creature such as thi? Why would he create something which has the obvious effect of obscuring the fact of his creation? But then, we are dealing with Creationists. They'll never change their views, just come up with more BS rationalizations. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All Gods Fail Posted April 8, 2006 Author Share Posted April 8, 2006 Eventually this type of evidence will build so high that even the fundies will have to start changing their tune. By then even kids will start making fun of them for believing in fairy tales. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
