Fossils Older Than Dinosaurs Reveal Pattern Of Early Animal Evolution On Earth (Darwin wrong again)
Science Daily ^ | July 26, 2007

...His findings: Overall, approximately 35 percent of the 982 trilobite species exhibited some variation in some aspect of their appearance that was evolving. But more than 70 percent of early and middle Cambrian species exhibited variation, while only 13 percent of later trilobite species did so.

"There's hardly any variation in the post-Cambrian," he said. "Even the presence or absence or the kind of ornamentation on the head shield varies within these Cambrian trilobites and doesn't vary in the post-Cambrian trilobites."...

You guys are like Mohemmed....

Your followers point out you’re sleeping with a 9 year old and then suddenly you get a revelation from God .. “Oh.. yeah.. that’s supposed to happen. It is now ok to sleep with 9 year olds”

Their ecological niche eventually changed. Perhaps it was quick, perhaps slow. Perhaps another organism had a population explosion and competed them out of their niche.

Evolution doesn't absolutely guarantee the success of one species in any niche.

Surprisingly, evolutionary paleontologists are turning this into evidence for Darwin’s theory...

Not surprising at all, actually.

Darwinian evolution is the unassailable super theory. There is no falsifiability. Any troubles are quickly assimilated, as though they had been part of the theory all along.

Darwin’s prediction of rampant, albeit gradual, change affecting all lineages through time is refuted. The record is there, and the record speaks for tremendous anatomical conservatism. Change in the manner Darwin expected is just not found in the fossil record.

The only thing that Darwin predicted is that offspring vary in minor, almost undetectable ways, from their parents, and that, as a result of variation, some will be more successful than others at reproducing.

No biologist has ever declared that successful body types will change just for the sake of change. Alligators haven't changed much, and many insects have stable body types.

How does Darwin explain this?

==Evolution doesn’t absolutely guarantee the success of one species in any niche.

Creation doesn’t absolutely guarantee the success of one species in any niche either.

I’m starting to think that Darwinian evolutionists aren’t necessarily Darwinians...they’re EVOLUTIONISTS come hell or high water.

So are you saying that Eldredge and Tattersall did not properly understand Darwin’s predictions?

==No biologist has ever declared that successful body types will change just for the sake of change.

I don’t know what you mean “for the sake of change” (it sounds like you are implying directed mutation, which I know you are not). Other than that, all Darwinian evolutionists say precisely that. Except you left out the part where random changes that disadvantage an organism are weeded out by natural selection.

The title of this thread is not the title of the article, and the material added in parentheses flatly contradicts the content of the article.

It just makes FR look like it is run by people who can’t read.

But it also makes this forum a lot more fun than Darwin Central where they stay too serious all the time.

If memory serves, this is the second time you have gone running to the moderators over absolutely nothing. Ever hear of the boy who cried wolf?

Not sure impawards.com was around during Darwin’s time for him to evaluate and study.

Look at the title again. You obviously don't know wrong from right. The article proves that Darwin is right again!!!

When I clicked the link “Darwin Wrong Again” was nowhere to be found.
