Move Over, Archaeopteryx

Reedo writes "The clearest evidence ever of the missing link between dinosaurs and birds has been found in a newly discovered "feathered" fossil in northeastern China, claim scientists. The specimen was found embedded in a large slab of rock, in what scientists think was a former lake or pond."

I really hate to say this

But if that crappy picture is the 'clearest link,' I'm going to go ahead and score this round for the Creationists. I'm all about Darwin, Evolution and the like. But that picture looked like an ice cream cone thrown at a windshield.

Nova had a thing on about two weeks ago discussing what was purpoted to the the True Missing Link fossil, found in Greeland. What happened to that?

The missing link is never going to be found.

Science is a natural enemy of the church and religion so anythings scientific that actually can point to taht the world was not created by a God will get very little press. Religion is big business and a lot of people make money on it.

Money rules the world. If someone discovered a way to totally wipe out aids it would probably be tucked away until soemone found a way to medically "treat" AIDS because that is what brings the money in.

Hell, there is a lot of people denying evolution, yet there are so many pieces of evidence. Point out to a christian that a gorilla is 97.2% the same as a human and they won't listen to you anymore.

Religion and the need to control people will always keep science at a safe distance from the rest of us.

What? Me paranoid? Naah.

ok, i'm not a raving sceptic (i am a sceptic of everything at first)
But you know what *they* say, if it looks too good to be true....
Smells of the archaeopteryx affair again.
