Just because you wear a bandanna on your head, advertise using the title "Madame", and speak with a gypsy accent does not make you a prophet. Defining any response contrary to your viewpoint as "lawyering" prior to receiving any response does, as ole Abe purportedly stated, fool some of the people some of the time. I suggest you find them and make a killing selling them the Brooklyn bridge.
Allow me to analyze the ways in which the above constitutes "lying with truth," and I'm ignoring a lot of falsehoods just in doing that.
The overall story is that Darwin had practically no fossil evidence in 1859 to cite in defense of his theory. So people who disliked the idea their ancestors were apes and that Genesis isn't a science text mocked "Where are the missing links?"
As some of us know, Darwin stuck to his guns, confident that the intermediate forms must have lived. He allowed that the fossil record is not so perfect that we should find them all, but they must have lived and more than those known in his day must be out there.
So in the 146 years since, we have found tons of them. Inescapable connections between apes and humans. Inescapable connections between land animals and whales, not to mention inescapable connections between anthracotheres and the "too young to be descended from Pakicetus" hippos. Imagine lawyering on such a dumb-dumbism! Faith in things unseen is obviously a bad influence on more people than just Al-Qaeda. It's really amazing, the kind of crap that some lying a-holes will pretend to be the "refutation" of Darwin, when you think about it.
Especially the kind of holes who are ashamed to defend Young Earth Idiocy directly, but expend all their energy trying to make the world safe for same, trying to sabotage evolution from a publicly postured position which supposedly accepts evolution as reality.
After all, someone who allegedly accepts that God or whomever used evolution would supposedly accept that hippos could have descended from Pakicetus (or something pretty close to it on the tree of life). Such a person would not be grasping at even the most fraudulent straws to avoid such a conclusion from fossil evidence.
It is the lyingest of liars who won't even admit who they are. Such are the lowest of scum, compared to whom being a billions-of-generations-removed descendant of pond scum is no disgrace at all.
Anyway, with all that as background, we have yet another unexpected result in science and the Luddite party that wishes it was still 1858 is making what it can of it.
Maybe evolution is all a house of cards and this is the thread that unravels it. Can't prove it isn't so, but none of the other unexpected results up to now were. It's far easier to believe that the lying, lawyerly a-holes are wrong again. The last 146 years have said that's the way to bet.
