Missing-link fossil wasn't a fish -- it has a pelvis

A fossil previously mistaken for the remains of an extinct fish turns out to hold the earliest known creature to have emerged from the Earth's waters and walk on land some 350 million years ago.

This ancestor of every four-limbed, backboned animal living today -- the first creature clearly designed to walk on land, with forward-facing feet -- fills a major gap in the evidence for the evolution of vertebrates from sea to land, scientists say.

The evos seem to have given up on accusing me of spamming on that one. The truth is the rant contains a number of overwhelming arguments against evolution and new people are always seeing it for the first time on these crevo threads.

Pollen dating established that Clack's creature had lived between 354 and 344 million years ago

Pollen dating? That seems unlikely.

There is no need to dispute your whole rant when the first line takes care of itself.

The day your fins turn into feet, your swimming days are over. You'd better be ready to start living on land all the time, starting from right now.

Crocodiles, Alligators, Salamanders, Frogs, Turtles...... The list could go on and on. But can you spot the recurring theme here? Has to do with feet, water and swimming and being pretty successful at it too. I'll let you figure it out.

Apparently Crocodiles, Alligators, Salamanders, Frogs, Turtles ect. didn't get the word that having feet means your swimming days are over...

Hell, frogs trade fins for feet as they are growing up yet quite a few remain aquatic their entire lives....

Seems every week the evos 'reclassify' a fossil to turn it into a missing link. Guess they expect us to consider their stories 'science' when they never get it right. What will this fossil become in a couple of years? Inquiring minds want to know.

ROFLMAO!! Give me a fricking break, your rants are just that, rants.

Evolution has not been debunked, no matter how much you wish it to be so.

Facts man, just the facts, and the FACTS, are against you.

Creationists have NO facts, whatsoever, again, NO MATTER how much you pretend it to be otherwise, you have NO facts to back up creationism, just a bunch of old myths that have been thrown into a book and called religion.

You are hilarious, absolutely hilarious!!

Lets remind the viewers of a few of your devastating bon mots from the past. Could you reprise the "can't be a mammal larger than an elephant" theory? How about the venus theory?--that was a rouser. Yessiree bob, overwhelming arguments indeed. Perhaps you should alert the sinister cabal of scientists in the journals, academic posts, and natural history museums around the world that their sustained conspiracy to hide the TRUTH is almost over.
