Oh please, not another "missing link" fairy tale. First there were the horse ancestors, touted then discredited, then the ape family tree, then the whales... when are these guys going to give it up? Huxley's private letters admitted 150 years ago their Achilles heel was the lack of a fossil record for this nonsense. There should be millions of missing links, and now they're crowing about finding
one, yet again, which will eventually be proven to link nothing, yet again? The MET Faithful even named this one after Darwin, no doubt a defiant statement of their passionate faith.
I'm sure they'll get funding, though, to spend years studying this "missing link" before the inevitable admission. We've seen this play before.
The right conditions need to be met in order for fossils to be created.....you DO know that....right?
You DO know that for land animals, the right conditions are rare........right?
Wholly discounting all scientific discoveries sure is an interesting mentality.
