All of those fossil horses were running around at more or less the same time and there's no way to claim any one of them is older than or ancestral to any other.

Okay. Take a looksie here and try to get back to me:

"All of those fossil horses .....

Stumpy::"Is a series of horses possessing progressively fewer and fewer toes an example of change overtime?"

Bright Eyes.: "Yes, of course"

Stumpy.:" And is it an example of complexity arising from simplicity through generation of new genes through mutation?"

Bright Eyes.: "Well, no, not really."

Stumpy: "So is it 'evolution'?"

Bright Eyes.: "Uh...., well, it depends on what you mean by the term 'evolution','".

Stumpy: " Exactly."

Everyone believes in "evolution", ("change over time") including the most ardent fire-breathing creationists, who believe that Africans, Asians and Swedes all descend form Noah.

So "evos" should understand that demonstrating "change" in and of itself doesn't advance their argument. It must be change of a very specific type. The sequence of "Horse-Toes" doesn't cut it. You need simplicity---->complexity, not the other way 'round.
