That’s not an example of evolution. That’s an example of an extinct species. Merely because a human scientist calls Pissarrachampsa sera “crocodilian” (a wholly-terrestrial saurian?) does not make it so.

Prime example of pseudoscientific bravo sierra from the CBS (CBS, mind you) article linked:
“We are dealing with an exceptionally divergent lineage of extinct crocodile diversity,“ Montefeltro said. “There are many fossils that still need to be found to link this crocodile to those who came before and after.”
More attempts at making the physical finds fit the claim rather than the other way around (the former is unscientific; the latter is scientific method). They find one fossil and build a mythology around it, in hopes of finding “many fossils” that will fit their eschatology. “Exceptionally divergent” is a bravo-sierraism for “It actually is nothing like a crocodile or any crocodilian, but we are going to say it is just to get headlines and, of course, more government funding”.

Bill Nye the left-wing guy.

Leftists cannot help but blow hot air and demagogue to their far left choir as they all pant for Obama to pass judgement on those awful Americans who still love their country, oppose the libertine filth and cling to the guns and Bibles.
