FYI, in a previous article Farah claims that there are still pterodactyls in Africa.

In all that time, it seems, the octopus hasn't evolved – not one tiny bit.

Don't confuse phenotype with genotype.

That was no octopus. It’s Helen Thomas hiding from conservatives and the Joosz.

It's an octopus they claim is 95 million years old.

I'll accept.

It looks just like a modern-day octopus...

Accepted.

In all that time, it seems, the octopus hasn't evolved – not one tiny bit.

Not accepted. Note the "it seems" escape hatch. "Not one tiny bit" is totally unsupportable.

Not proof of anything. Statements like this damage the credibility of an issue, for all they may attract more adherents to the issue.

And maybe that's the point... to attract the most adherents?

Call me unresolved on this issue -- especially as my questions have or came close to costing me FReeper friends from both sides (everything was Created vs. there never was a "Creation").

Stuff like this just muddies the waters.

Did Farah map the fossil's genome?

Wonder if the calamari came with marinara sauce back then.

Cockroaches havent evolved much either, along with many other animals. Darwin is still a failed theory for other reasons, though.
