A transitional form between fish and amphibians. The gaps keep getting smaller.

There are some illustrations at the original article.

PING. [This list is for the evolution side of evolution threads, and some other science topics like cosmology. Long-time list members get all pings, but can request evo-only status. New additions will be evo-only, but can request all pings. FReepmail me to be added or dropped. Specify all pings or you'll get evo-pings only.]

An enterprising creationist will instead point out that the number of gaps is growing. There was one gap before, now there are two!

Yes. Such a claim belongs in a collection with a few other gems, such as "Bush has made us less safe from terrorism."

Clearly, you have the most highly evolved ping list system at FR.

So you have basically a humerus-fish story.

God keeps getting more and more mischievous with the red herrings in the fossil record.

The making of such an argument requires logical and rational thinking (of sorts). I have never encountered a logical and rational Creationist.

That's it???? One bone????
The religion of the Evol-Doers can sure make a lot of theology from very little - and nebulous - evidence.

Talk about the miracle of loaves and fishes.

What a crock of cr@p

Hey, cut him some slack. He's made an absolutely brilliant point! My confidence is now shattered.

It's a transitional bone.

The fossil, a 365-million-year-old arm bone, or humerus, shares features with primitive fish fins but also has characteristics of a true limb bone. Discovered near a highway roadside in north-central Penn., the bone is the earliest of its kind from any limbed animal.
Funny how the earliest limb bone ever found is also the most like a fish fin bone, right?
