The admission by evolutionists themselves that Archaeopteryx is not an "intermediate transitional form" to serve as evidence for evolution is an important milestone in the history of palaeontology. This is because for about 150 years, Archaeopteryx has continued to be the most prominent among the very few so-called "intermediate transitional forms" evolutionists could advance. However, this door of escape is also closed now, and the world of palaeontology has had to face the plain truth thatthere is not even a single fossil which can provide evidence for evolution.

The outcomes are evident. The New York Times also accepted that fact and ran the headline "Fossil Discovery Threatens Theory of Birds' Evolution." That is true. Indeed, the ancestor of birds was a bird. The ancestor of fish was a fish, the ancestor of horses was a horse, the ancestor of kangaroos was a kangaroo and the ancestor of man was a man. In other words, all different classes of living beings emerged in the perfect and specific forms they have today. In other words, they are created by God.

Copying and pasting isn't the problem. The problem is that you are not citing your source. Your posts imply that you are the author of the thoughts and ideas contained within the post, and this just isn't the case. Please ALWAYS cite your sources on BookTalk. It is never acceptable to copy and paste other people's intellectual work without telling people that you are doing so. This is dishonest and unacceptable here.

Probably for the same reasons that scientists don't promote the fact that years ago they believed the earth was flat, motionless, etc. Science is a constant process of observation and redefining.

Please do us all a favor and pick up a high school biology text (and not one from Kansas).

"If a man does not keep pace with his companions, prehaps it is because he hears a different drummer. Let him step to the music which he hears, however measured or far away."

-Henry David Thoreau

Why would I need to do that, do you know something about biology that I don't?

I hope you still have your appendix and tonsils as your evolution friends caused doctors to believe that they were just useless organs left over from past evolutionary stages and guess what billions over the years got these organs removed without doctors blinking an eye. Problem is, is that they both do have functions as well as the spleen, the cocyx bone and a whole lot of other useful things in your body. I think you should be the one to pick up a "biology" book. It seems that you have even confused Biology with evolutionary biology.

Asana, just about every single member of this conversation CLEARLY knows more about critical thinking and biological evolution than you do. You're delusional. They say, "Ignorance is bliss," so I'm sure you're smiling right now.

You do indeed need to learn about evolution if you're going to attempt to engage educated people in the discussion of this subject. Your posts look silly. We're currently reading and discussing "Evolution vs. Creationism." Why don'y you get a copy and read along?

::171 Why do I get the feeling you'll conveniently avoid my last question?
