In a new study of a fossil fish that lived 375 million years ago, scientists are finding striking evidence of the intermediate steps by which some marine vertebrates evolved into animals that walked on land.

Nearly my entire reason I cannot stand arguments of evo’s stems from crap like this. These stories are reported as facts, when there is no evidence of it actually happening. It is simply speculation determined from a pre-existing conclusion.

I understand. You rely on evidence.

I didn’t find it through subscription. Sorry!

I have experience evidence, yes. While evo’s claim all they believe, yes believe, at the time to be “facts” and “proof” and “evidence”. When in reality it is none of the above, but yet you maintain your patronizing stance as defenders of the “truth”.

It's just science

[A knight without armor]

All those little stubby fingers.

[vpintheak]

If it was presented just as science, I wouldn’t have a problem with it. It’s all the baggage I have a problem with.

If you have a problem with evolution, you have a problem with science

Now that is a funny one. You do know, of course, that almost all of our greatest scientific discoveries have been made by those who profess belief in God? Atheism in science is a reletively modern thing. and even now there are a great many scientists who believe in God. To think anything esle would be, well simple thinking.
