>As anyone familiar with the existing evolutionary charts will know, a powerful, warm-blooded mammal has no business being found in the early Cretaceous strata, of about 130 million years ago
>>Every version of evolution of which I'm aware predicts that no fossil bones of a modern human will ever be discovered by digging into rock or sediment layers that are previously untouched by human activity and are older than, say, 50 million years

Your "principle" here
is dangerous. After all,
you might just as well

say theories "predict"
you won't find dinosaurs in
a mammal's stomach
.

Now they've found a case.
Oops. But no one's gonna junk
evolution. Now

they'll just tweak some dates.
An exactly similar
thing would occur if

somebody found bones
that were human-like in old
strata -- experts would

tweak some theory of
proto-human ape-like beings
older than we thought.

Evolution is
an outlook, not a theory --
its holders won't quit.
