3-D Fossils Found in Canada

smooth wombat writes "The BBC has a story with pictures of fossils found in Canada which are three dimensional. Even more interesting is that scientists consider the creatures, called rangemorphs, to be neither animal nor vegetable. In a related matter, geologists added the Ediacaran Period, in which these fossils lived, to their official history of Earth, the first new period to be added in 120 years."

    Maybe applied mathematicians do it smoothly and continuously. Real mathematicians do it over the integers. :-)

    This evolution crap just makes no sense. God created the heavens and earth in only 7 days, not several billion years. The earth is only 6000 years old, not 6.5 billion. This is blasphamy, and the fossil record is no proof of evolution. All a fossil proves is that somthing existed at one time, but no longer does. Most of these cretures probably existed pre-flood, so it has little relevance to today's life. Adam set death into this world, not God.
