“Over 300 million years old but remarkably similar to current horseshoe crab brains. Another straw on the camels back of evolution.”

Not this time.

The horseshoe crab fossils can be found earlier than that. They are a very old species. They are not really crabs at all, more like shelled, sea spiders

I am not a naturalistic evolution guy and always like to twist the godless scientist nose, you can’t this time. Unlike the coelacanth, these are not index fossils.

Yes, but was she ever ‘Sponge Worthy?’ ROFLMAO!

There’s a ‘Seinfeld-ism’ for all occasions! :)

Before I even clicked on this thread I was certain that would be the first reply. Excuse me, the first correct reply.

[Bruce Campbells Chin]

perfectly preserved and fossilized are mutually exclusive conditions ...

My thoughts exactly. Who the hell writes that kind of nonsense?

[Veto!]

Biden’s indeed Everyone on FR thinks the same thing.

[Deplorable American1776]

I doubt it is Biden’s, but it could be Hank ‘Guam will flip over’ Johnson’s or Maxine’s... 🤓

LOL! Or maybe your 83 yr old mom looks like she’s 67, so it’s a compliment. All depends on how you view it!

Could be, she was singing karaoke and making CD’s into her 70’s.

At least my doctor tells me that I look better in person than I do on paper.

Some headlines just scream for a meme.

Damn you!

[SunkenCiv]

Thanks a fool in paradise.

[Captain Peter Blood]

Will they transplant into Biden to save him?

[whitney69]

Did Biden try to sniff it and say it might have looked great at one time?

Fine, Darwin’s theory of natural selection is only a theory, and science may one day disprove it.

But that doesn’t make your superstitious belief in creationism any less far-fetched.

LOL... no doubt the World’s first thought.

[Gene Eric]

A bit hasty in your assumptions there

Where? In a mayonnaise jar under the front porch?

Your remark is analogous to the hoary old "If we are descended from apes, why are there still apes?" objection.

Pitiful!
