You can play with the fossil record all you want. For example, TODAY on FR we read..."Villagers digging in China's rich fossil beds have uncovered the preserved remains of a tiny dinosaur in the belly of a mammal, a startling discovery for scientists who have long believed early mammals couldn't possibly attack and eat a dinosaur.

Scientists say the animal's last meal probably is the first proof that mammals hunted small dinosaurs some 130 million years ago. It contradicts conventional evolutionary theory that early mammals were timid, chipmunk-sized creatures that scurried in the looming shadow of the giant reptiles." Awwwwww, gee that's too bad. Now a creationist would simply say "well, hey, there's proof that mammals and dinos co-existed", while a crafty evolutionist would probably come up some sort of twisted "transitional fossil" theory about this being a mammal/dino hybrid, yada, yada...

So let me see if I have this straight. You are one of these evolutionists insisting that there is near infinite amount of transitional animals in the fossil record, right? Now has evolution stopped? If not, can you point me to any "transistional" trans-species LIVING, BREATHING animals that I may take a look at? And while you're at it, please provide me with ONE example of a mutation that ADDED information to an animals' genetic code.

No need to squirm and shout. I just asked if it bothers you that nothing you're saying is true. Evidently, yes, but not that you can admit.

Dinosaurs and mammals have overlapped for their entire histories, except that the dinos dropped out of the picture. This is not news. Until the dinos (among other life forms) dropped out in a big extinction event 65 million years ago, mammals were prevented from exploring a a lot of niches. We finally found a mammal old enough but still big enough to have eaten a smallish dinosaur. This is news of a sort, but doesn't overthrow anything much except to point out that some mammals were exploring predation of animals bigger than insects.

IOW, you're playing Twist and Shout, waving a minor factoid around like it's the fall of the Evolutionary Empire. Doesn't look very honest.

You are one of these evolutionists insisting that there is near infinite amount of transitional animals in the fossil record, right?

"Near infinite" is not predicted. "Plenty more than in Darwin's day" is known to be true.

Now has evolution stopped? If not, can you point me to any "transistional" trans-species LIVING, BREATHING animals that I may take a look at?

Why do we seem to need a whole new flu vaccine every year? Why can't we re-use last year's?

And while you're at it, please provide me with ONE example of a mutation that ADDED information to an animals' genetic code.

Is it OK if it's beneficial?
