@gungasnake,
Their logic is astounding in its naivete. Evolutionary thinking, unlike IDjicy and Creationism, is not "STUCK" in a single groove of explining the development of life on the planet. The fact that archeopteryx is from an extinct line of birds is like a "Duuuhhhh" moment for you? What archeopteryx represents is a transitional feathered creature that maintains at least 21 structures unique to birds or reptiles. NOTICE I NEVER SAID "DINOSAUR". The lastest analyses of the morphology of several specimens that are now in the museums of the world, indicate that, like humans, both archeopteryx, modern birds and dinosaurs , all were derived from a common ancestor , one didnt arise from the other.
I know its hard for you guys to understand paleogenesis and morphologic development. AND, I further understand that youve got to ignore and deny some piles of evidence, but, as Mr Adams once said
"Truth is based on evidence and evidence come from facts. FACT, sir, are stubborn things. You cant ignore or wish them away.
I always read the Wall street Journal for Paleontology.
Also reading ANYTHING from the Discovery Institute lets me know that the evidence that already exists will be systematically ignored so as not to interfere with the premise of their entire organization.
You think they may have a conflict of interests?
