I do notice that Ann Coulter says there is no verification or fossil proof supporting Darwin or his followers.

Ms. Coulter also says that evolutionists say whales evolved from bears and bats evolved from squirrels (both of which are absolutely false). She freely misrepresents evolution and the evidence for it.

There are many fossils that provide evidence for evolution, one such is Tiktaalik, a recently discovered fish that has jointed wrists in its front flippers. This is of special interest because scientists had been looking for a link between fish and tetrapods and chose just that location to dig in because other fossils recovered indicated this would be a good spot for a transitional fossil. And that's what they found.

I think you missed some of Miss Coulters sense of humor, especially the raccoon flatulence theory of evolution.

Still, as I said, I'm willing to learn. To be honest, I have not read something that shows she misrepresented any theory of evolution. I have seen attacks on her personally but not what she has said.

As an aside, I know her take on Senator McCarthy was correct in her analysis. I also know she tends to footnote items she contends, whereas her detractors attack her personally without addressing the claim or issue.

Ms. Coulter also says that evolutionists say whales evolved from bears

In North America the black bear was seen by Hearne swimming for hours with widely open mouth, thus catching, like a whale, insects in the water. Even in so extreme a case as this, if the supply of insects were constant, and if better adapted competitors did not already exist in the country, I can see no difficulty in a race of bears being rendered, by natural selection, more and more aquatic in their structure and habits, with larger and larger mouths, till a creature was produced as monstrous as a whale.
