I scanned the rebutal in post 220. Most of it was the same old garbage you see on these boards.

This pretty much shoots down any reason as to why you should take it seriously: Coulter claims several times that the fossil record in no way supports Darwin's theory of evolution.

Darwin's theory called for "gradualism" the inexorable accumulation of tiny changes that led to new species, genus etc. That fossils don't show this, presents a puzzle for evolutionists, hence you have punctuated equilibrium and catastrophism being considered.

Your own reasoning is specious, incorrect: totally representative of creationist misinformation and amnesia. I know full well that I've been correcting you, Tribune7, on this stuff for years and still--as a matter of personal convenience--you know nothing, nothing, nothing. Ah, the wondrous alternative science of know-nothingism!

We have about the fossil record our models of geology and evolution say we should have.

Speciation by Punctuated Equilibrium.

Off of the above link: Smooth Change in the Fossil Record.

Taxonomy, Transitional Forms, and the Fossil Record.

Furthermore, the detailed, specific, and frankly undeniable problems with Ann's execrable "scholarship" do not wave away by the means you have attempted here even if your single point about the fossil record had the slightest validity, which it does not.

The lurker is invited to look at the links in 220 and 276 and ask himself if T7 hasn't attempted a warp-velocity fast one here.
