have uncovered a remarkably well-preserved fossil lamprey from the Devonian period that reveals today's lampreys as "living fossils" since they have remained largely unaltered for 360 million years.

Unaltered for 360 million years? Back to the books for evolutionists. Since a lamprey didn't need to evolve this means that humans didn't either. That's what I get out of this.

Then you need to read up on evolution.

Where did you get that idea?

Since rocks don't need to fall of cliffs, I guess none ever have. That's what I got out of that.

Yes! They were quite successful in finding a valuable niche and exploited it against all-comers.

Back to the books for evolutionists.

Nonsense. See my Post #17. We used this in my previously mentioned Zoology class as one of the classic anatomical lessons in the evolutionary chain of life on this planet. Evolutionists have no problem whatsoever with this organism since it once again bolsters the TOE as it represents a stepping-stone on the way to man.

First: They represent the evolutionary link between the Invertebrate and Vertebrate Phyla since they have a primitive (cartilage) backbone.

Second: A further common ancestor went on to become the sharks and rays, which eventually evolved into fish, amphibians, reptiles, mammals, primates, man.

Since a lamprey didn't need to evolve this means that humans didn't either. That's what I get out of this.

Extremely poor logic [*LOL*]. I suggest, much the same as I took long ago, a Year-long Zoology course to open your mind to the wonders of Evolution.

Hope this helps. Best of luck with your coursework!
