Missing Link Fossil Discovered

choongiri writes "The Guardian is reporting the discovery of a missing link of evolution. From the article: "Scientists have made one of the most important fossil finds in history: a missing link between fish and land animals, showing how creatures first walked out of the water and on to dry land more than 375m years ago.""

    A Darwinian? Other than in the context of the computer game "Darwinians", I have no idea what in the hell you're trying to say.

    "Flame mod me. I dare you moderators. Flame me for injecting my life encounters with higher education and fraudulent teachings"

    Flame? No way! Your rambling, inarticulate anecdote that goes nowhere is clearly a troll, not a flame.

    Ah, yes, ever has it been such. Better to silence the heretics then heaven forbid try to respond to them. Sad to see the road that religeon followed is now being followed just as blindly by the new 'science as religeon' crowd. For the record, I have been in IT full time for about 2 years now, before that I managed a Microbiology lab. Take that Mr Troll Mod.

    If you believe in creationism, you believe in a creator, and 1 big miracle.
    If you believe in evolution, you believe in millions of miracles.

    Which one is easier to believe? Its obvious.

    I also will say i recently saw the people from answersingenesis.org, and heard what they had to say.
    I highly recommend anyone, no matter your beliefs, take a look. They have many good points,
    especially when they talk about the distance of stars, how long it takes the light to reach us.

    The time it takes for some star light to reach earth may be thought to be millions or more of light years,
    many of them are also farther than the "4.6 billion" years mark that evolutionits use.. by alot.

    Id also like to point out, the bible does in fact say, that some people (like evolutionists that reject the word of God)
    are actually blinded from being able to understand or "see the light" so to speak.

    my 2 cents.

    P.S. The fosil layer can be replicated in a VERY short amount of time, think about it, the bones if they were sitting in the open air
    for even thousands of years, not packed in by dirt, would probably not fosilize. Remember grade school science class, a jar of junk and dirt and water, to see how the layers land... that took 5 minutes.
