My substantiated assertion conflicts with your repeated unsubstantiated one. No one has discredited Tiktaalik. It's a fish trending strongly amphibian. It has the whole suite of features one might expect in such a creature. The forelimbs are if anything closer to amphibian than fish. You cite the Internet, vaguely and generally. I'd suggest you do a Google and start reading.

Actually you cite some biased scientist who is trying to make a silk purse out of a sows ear. Can't blame him since he has to prove it to get all that gummit graft he lives off. Bottom line is that the weight support is nothing more than some scientist's opinion.
There are litterally thousands of questions about this being anything other than a glorified catfish.
If you have the faith to believe that this is some sort of transitional species great, just don't count me in on this hoax. But you are good at namecalling and making your god scientist as the only side anyone should believe.
There should thousands of transitional species and you have this single weak link. The distance between monkey and man is the same as the distance between this fish and monkey or 1/1,000,000th the distance between man and God.
