Belief gets in the way of learning. Robert A. Heinlein, Time Enough for Love, 1973
Sure it does. I graduated first in my college class with a 4.0 GPA.
And this was AFTER my conversion to Christianity and turning away from evolution.
Evolutionists and atheists aren't the only people capable of learning anything.
Read the posts again. You said that " I don't believe it validates evolution anyway."
Not, there is evidence that this is not so. Not, the evidence argues against it. You said you don't believe it.
Your ability to learn about this fossil, and the hundreds of other discoveries made each year, is precluded by your prior belief.
GPA is nice, but by your own admission you have closed your mind to the discoveries of science which do not fit with your belief system.
That's pretty sad. It must be tough to read the newspaper in the morning knowing that there might be some new discovery you will have to wave away on the basis of your prior belief.
GPA is nice, but by your own admission you have closed your mind to the discoveries of science which do not fit with your belief system. That's pretty sad. I have no problem with any true scientific discoveries.
I do have problems with the conclusions some try to draw from them.
Wow, you actually know of a fossil that PROVES evolution? Would you like to share with us. Or is it just a "faith" in evolution like some have "faith" in a Creator. If you have the proof, there are thousands of hopeful scientists that would like to look at it as there aren't any to date.

Robert A. Heinlein, Time Enough for Love
I don't think you understand just how ironic you are there with that quote of Heinlein.
Heinlein was okay. I liked some of the novels from A. Clarke and Asimov better.
I think the point he is making is that these supposed transitional fossils held out as 'evidence that fills the gap' really strains the credulity. These fossil are about as much as a transitional as the Coelacanth was once touted to be. In other words the Gogonasus fish.., yes it is still a fish, and a vast vast distance from what it was supposedly evolving towards in areas physiology and skeletal structures, not to mention all other areas of comparison.
