The Golden Calf of Evolution is on Fire…

It is also not necessary that a series of transitional fossils be in direct lineage with one another. As long as the general path of change is shown and verified by analysis of multiple shared diagnostic features it is evidence of the transition.

I'm not following you line of reasoning. If you propose a vector of accumulated effect, it seems to me you would also have to propose a vector of direct causation. If not, then how can you say that one transitions the other. It sounds counter intuitive to me.

Knowing the exact dates of fossils would not stop Feduccia from contesting the ideas he contests because it would not tell us which fossil is in direct line with any other, it would just tell us which is older.

But it would demonstrate, through contradition, what could not be ancestral.

Ohhhh, longie ... I thought you'd never ask!

Excellent post.

The Clintonian nature of these posters is apt.

But most importantly their understanding and presentation of the science they claim to champion is not good. But if it is pointed out, they attack with ad hominum, character assasination, spam, and ultimately ignoring.

I think they are sad lonely men and it is hard not to feel sorry for them, but also hard not to think they are idiots.

I like the Indy Jones theory of how to handle scimitar experts.

The scene was supposed to be a long drawn out sword fight. But Harrison Ford was hungover and not really ready for the action, so he ad-lib'ed pulling out the pistol and shooting the Arab.
Spielberg liked the idea and left it in.

But Harrison Ford was hungover ...
