The first one is here. Barry spewage |
Barry: Quote | That record does not show, as Darwin suggested, a finely graduated organic chain between major Types. Instead, it shows abrupt appearance of various Types followed by stasis. Again, using the pentadactyl limb as an example, Denton has no doubt that the limb evolved from the fins of fish. Yet the fossil record simply does not support the view that the evolution of the limb from the fin occurred gradually over eons of time. The fossil record is instead conspicuous for the absence of transitional forms from fish fin to pentadactyl limb. |
Does Barry live in a universe where Tiktaalik fossils don't exist? What the hell does he think all the fuss was about when they were discovered?
Barry, we don't ask you to become an expert archaeologist just to comment on a book, but could you at least be dimly aware of the science involved? |
I think you are wrong here. Barry is absolutely very, very, very dimly aware of the science he talks about. |
Dim and short sighted.Barry is a mole reviewing a mole hill. |
It's this time of the year: the quaterly silly season is overdue...
Over there at TSZ are some more figures...
