The model that Darwin proposed, of evolution through natural selection of variation, is a solid scientific model that explains facts and allows prediction.

The power of this method is so great that industries looking for enzymes for industrial processes do not design the enzyme they want from scratch, they evolve it by introducing random variation and stringent selective criteria.

Not only do we see evolution everywhere we look, it is biologically impossible for a species to not evolve. The very process of DNA replication introduces variation, and relevant variation is subject to selection.

Yeah here is your Darwin model

“it is conceivable that flying-fish, which now glide far through the air, slightly rising and turning by the aid of their fluttering fins, might have been modified into perfectly winged animals”

So predict. Something besides where to find more fossils, which is useful how?

What's the next step in evolutionary development for anything?

It's interesting that when scientists labeled junk DNA as such, that it was the creationists who predicted that it would be found to not be junk after all. Evos mocked it because they didn't like the philosophical rationalization. And who was right?

Science sure didn't predict anti-biotic resistance cause it wasn't until anti-biotic resistant bacteria started showing up that they quit prescribing it like candy.

So tell us about what evolution is going to be so good at predicting.

FWIW, I’m going to predict that this fossil is going to just be another dead end, like all the rest before it.

Why?

Because man didn’t evolve from any animal so there is no connection between man and any bipedal creature. No such creature ever existed and therefore no such fossil will ever be found.

And yes, it is based on the outlook that God created man from the dust of the earth in a separate act of creation. You can not like my reason all you want, but get back to me when they find that fossil that proves the link.
