What an artful ruse you've concocted for yourself.
On the contrary, the headlines would read something like this.....
Mammal evolution pushed back millions of year, occurred earlier than previously thought.
Rabbit now recognized as a "living fossil"
Darwinists wouldn't let some little glitch like that blow their theory out of the water. They'd find some way to explain it away.
Otherwise, they'd have no explanation left as to how life came to be on this earth that wouldn't bring them face to face with the creator they reject.
They won't let it die because their world view can't afford to let it die.
Yes, an artful ruse that frees you from having to do any real work.
