re: #96 Walter L. Newton

And, what is your expertise in the fossil record? How many fossils have you studied and handled? A fossil is rock, the earth is in good shape, and it’s about 4 billion years old. It’s made of a lot of rock.

You’re not being serious, are you? You forgot the sarcasm tag right?

Give the guy a break, Walter.

Have you not seen the science community get the wrong head on a dinosaur? …try to convince us in the late 70’s that another ice age was imminent? …I had another that now escapes me..

This looks promising, certainly, but I’ve seen too many cases of people with agendas making false claims (or ignorant ones) concerning the meaning of findings to suck down the first sensational headline that comes out (I know Charles posted on this some while ago, but it concerned the same finding).

I hope this is what it looks like. It would explain a lot and could take a little of the wind out of the sails of the “ID in public school science class” crowd by removing one of their talking points concerning the “missing link”.
