The point is that paleontology is not a science, it is absolute garbage. They change their assertions more often than the wind in Chicago. One day they indubitably , positively assert that one species descended from another and then the next day they assert that no, it descended from some other species just as indubitably, positively, etc. and anyone that does not believe them in a moron and should keep their trap shut. It is like the Communists, do not dare to repeat what they said yesterday or you will be shot.
And you draw this conclusion because you've studied paleontology and its methods? Hell, you probably know as much about paleontology as you do about math and geometry.
