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?

I'm trying to remember if it was here where some creationist claimed that a "beneficial" mutation in either a virus or a parasite wasn't really beneficial because it wasn't good for humans.
