And, of course, the fossil record shows species appearing suddenly and fully formed, matching the Creationist model and completely refuting Darwin.

LOL! Yeah, I guess the creationist "model" is pretty airtight scientifically. I mean, who can argue with "God did it" as the answer to any scientific inquiry.

Yes the fossil record shows species appearing suddenly and fully formed, however this does very little to bolster the Creationist model as the fossil record clearly shows them appearing suddenly and fully formed AT DIFFERENT TIMES.

Amazing that the Creationists will accept the validity of the data only insofar as it supports their presuppositions. So the fossil record CAN be relied upon for showing the emergence of species and the time can be defined as ‘sudden’, but the time must also be contorted and distorted to fit them within the last few thousand years and have them all appear ‘suddenly’ at the same time.

If these guys were not such a threat to U.S. education in Science I would find them amusing.
