Landmark new research that involves analyzing millions of DNA barcodes has debunked much about what we know today about the evolution of species.
In a massive genetic study, senior research associate at the Program for the Human Environment at Rockefeller University Mark Stoeckle and University of Basel geneticist David Thaler discovered that virtually 90 percent of all animals on Earth appeared at right around the same time.
More specifically, they found out that 9 out of 10 animal species on the planet came to being at the same time as humans did some 100,000 to 200,000 years ago.
"This conclusion is very surprising," says Thaler, "and I fought against it as hard as I could."

No! vast stretch job!
Naming establishes nothing but a common term of reference to provide linguistic stability.
It means absolutely nothing more. Its basis is pure assumption.

Name one transitory fossil. Otherwise you are just another lying atheist.

Stoeckle and Thaler might benefit by having a conversation with a geologist.
If this article is true it is over for you atheists and will have to admit there is a God. That will put a major dent on the Marxist atheist model.
Here’s a list
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_transitional_fossils
It’s an incomplete list, because as more are found the list grows (Knowledge is dynamic!) plus its Wikipedia so there’s bound to be some inaccuracies.
So your statement should be “There are no transitory fossils that I accept!”.
Because clearly there’re quite a number of them and they are accepted by others!
And I am not an atheist!
This probably coincides with the latest mass extinction. All the space, so few predators. Of course there would be an explosion of new life.
Call it God or natural selection, it still makes sense.
Yeah...this time around.
It doesn’t make sense that earth, as we would know it, has been around for hundreds of thousands of years. But just in the last 6,000-7500 we all of a sudden started farming, writing, and acting all civilized.
Either this is a cyclical process that humans are subjected to, or “something” happened to the hunter gatherer tribes that changed them. The different creation stories are all pretty much the same.
Suggesting that a small group of people living in a hard place to eek out a living were more special than anyone else on the planet is, on its face, silly.
Everyone is free to believe what they want. But in a greater context there are a lot of amazing stories. The wider you pan out, the more consistent the tales. And the less Special.
They don’t seem to be accepted by some of the most well known evolutionists, at least the honest ones:

Most of your so called transitory species are debunked here:

Nice try though and this article if true, destroys the billion year evolution fraud. Where did life start in an absolutely sterile world after the volcanos?
zero.
Gould appears to have changed his mind
“The anatomical transition from reptiles to mammals is particularly well documented in the key anatomical change of jaw articulation to hearing bones. Only one bone, called the dentary, builds the mammalian jaw, while reptiles retain several small bones in the rear portion of the jaw. We can trace, through a lovely sequence of intermediates, the reduction of these small reptilian bones, and their eventual disappearance or exclusion from the jaw, including the remarkable passage of the reptilian articulation bones into the mammalian middle ear (where they became our malleus and incus, or hammer and anvil). We have even found the transitional form that creationists often proclaim inconceivable in theory — for how can jawbones become ear bones if intermediaries must live with an unhinged jaw before the new joint forms? The transitional species maintains a double jaw joint, with both the old articulation of reptiles (quadrate to articular bones) and the new connection of mammals (squamosal to dentary) already in place! Thus, one joint could be lost, with passage of its bones into the ear, while the other articulation continued to guarantee a properly hinged jaw. Still, our creationist incubi, who would never let facts spoil a favorite argument, refuse to yield, and continue to assert the absence of all transitional forms by ignoring those that have been found, and continuing to taunt us with admittedly frequent examples of absence.”

Or maybe your quote was taken out of context!
I can find similar “inexplicable changes of mind” in your other examples.
Anyway I am done discussing this! It’s a waste of bandwidth.
One of the first things we talk about in General Biology is the scientific method which can only be applied to those things that can be tested by experimentation. It does not apply to matters of faith and belief. As a minister's daughter and a lifelong Christian, I learned early on that the Bible is not a scientific book, but it is the history of God's relationship with man. Among all the animals, man is the only one with a soul that is capable of having a relationship with God. In fact, a human being will never be complete unless he or she has a relationship with the Creator of the Universe!
Agreed, no matter how much evidence to the contrary your mind is made up about believing this myth fundamentally. Where exactly did life begin?
Nicole Arce is either
A. Pulling our leg
B. Was high on sonething when she wrote this
or
C. Doesn’t know what she is talking about.
Go back to Tech Times.
Check out tne link to the original paper she extracted this garbage conclusion from.
Read the original paper.
It implies NOTHING of the kind that Arce states in her article.
You people are dilusional.
.
I know what the definition of the term species is. You completely miss the point.
Science and evolution are almost polar opposites.
Science works from empiricity, while evolution creates the answer first, and tries to stuff unrelated data in around it. The empirical evidence follows the creation model very nicely.
Inter-scientific disciplines seem to never talk to one another probably because they are at often at odds over basic things like dates. Consensus thinking rules!
But regardless, your explanation still leads to the same conclusion; that it is POSSIBLE for everything to have been created basically at the same time. In fact, given your explanation, you are still saying the same thing, that at some point the clock started ticking for all the species to arrive at the natural genetic drift end in order to have 90% of all species the same. If this were not so, then you would see a far greater variation from that 90% for all sorts of species.
I'm not a geneticist but I do know a bit about statistics.
Not sure to whom you were addressing your comment - but as a person knowing a bit about statistics ... is a sample of 100,000 valid to draw conclusions for the other 79,900,000 species? Or is that a political poll methodology?
And that whole point was a minor finding of questionable validity in a paper about mitochondrial DNA.
