To: Ichneumon
I'll post a few links to your most famous posts, not that the creationists will bother ...

Ichneumon on the Scientific Method. It's post 401 and it's excellent.
Ichneumon's legendary post 52. More evidence than you can handle.

To: PatrickHenry; Ichneumon

Ichneumons stunning post on transitionals is deeply flawed. His source posits that Archaeopteryx evolved from Caudipteryx. However, there are evolutionary avian experts who posit the exact opposite...that Caudipteryx evolved from Archaeopteryx. Now obviously we're talking about a disagreement in fossil dating that spans hundreds of thousands if not millions of years. This means that fossil dating, outside of guessing based on how the fossil looks, is a very inexact science. It's so inexact, that one persons guess is as good as another and there's no clear or definitive way to know who is right. With that in mind, my guess about how these fossils are related is just as good as the experts. Do you agree?
