“The discovery of a new 125-million-year-old fossil mammal in Spain has pushed back the earliest record ...”

Yeah? And how’d it do that?

Too small to be much more than an hors d’oeuvre for a dinosaur.

Hey...that rat is the spitting image of my uncle Larry!!! /s Talk about faith...it really takes a leap of faith to believe in evolution. I do not have that much faith. I prefer to believe in God’s scientific use of “conservation of energy” and “Entropy”. When he create the universe and set it in motion.

Still seems a tremendous gap between that and a reptile.

How does finding a fossil of an animal with hair and spines reveal the “evolution” of hair and spines? Especially given that it is 60 million years older than evolutionists believed animals should have such attributes. Wouldn’t that suggest that the animals had them all along, rather than evolving them.

125 million years ago? Then how come some humans remain spineless, GOPe for example?
