CNN: "Scientists say a very rare find... has produced the first clear evidence of a controversial theory of evolution."
Well, the first problem here is that "so-called scientists" discovered it with their atheistic-mindset and pesky "facts" that they most certainly conjured up while watching a Sci-Fi movie and eating god-hating popcorn with their gay friends.
Nonetheless, and regardless of all the negative publicity this may see from the Christian community, the facts are real. Yet another transitional animal has been discovered, which many of the Christian apologists claim do not exist. Once again, they are wrong.
The 'transitional animal' is a forethought that rattles the foundation of many religious apologists. Guys like Kirk Cameron bring up fictitious creatures like the "Croco-duck" claiming that since there are no cross-species animals, then evolution is disproved.
Atheists then point to penguins and mudskippers, or birds that dive 60 feet under water for fish, and other modern animals that are apparently in the midst of a transition, and claim that is proof for evolution. I've even discussed fossilized whale bones that clearly have legs; only to be disregarded by creationists as fraudulent.
But what if the changes are subtle? What if takes longer than we originally thought to evolve? No one said the scientists have all the answers; just more viable ones than a 6-day creation extravaganza week where an ultimate creator needed a day off at the end!
If you get into the discussion of the million-years-debate, (like I recently did with a preacher friend of mine) you will see prominent Atheists quoted as saying that any dating over 40,000 years is very difficult to pinpoint.
Well, fine. If even we can only go back 40,000 years, the Bible is still 34,000 years off. It makes the claim that the earth is only about 4,000-6,000 years old.
Besides, this evidence doesn't make a case for carbon dating, it makes the case for transitional animals. It really doesn't matter if the fossils are 40,000 years old, or 160 millions years old, they are very real.
As for transitional animals, now there is no denying them. These bones are of animals called 'pterodactyls' and are essentially flying dinosaurs, much like the popular 'terradactyl.' The amazing discovery is within the transitional changes of the bones, and have been nicknamed "Darwinopterus."
