    Transitional form fossil found

    Paleontolologists working in the Canadian Arctic have discovered the fossilized remains of an animal that elucidates one of evolution's most dramatic transformations: that which produced land-going vertebrates from fish. Dubbed Tiktaalik roseae, the large, predatory fish bears a number of features found in four-limbed creatures, a group known as tetrapods.

    This is an awesome find, considering that these transitional forms didn't last long.

        god put it there to test our faith
        Space is big. You just won't believe how vastly, hugely, mind- bogglingly big it is. I mean, you may think it's a long way down the road to the chemist's, but that's just peanuts to space.

              last nite Nova did a thing on the solar system and showed that impact rates increased dramatically 400 mya just as evolution jumped forward, the rate reached as high as it was 2.5 bya. They speculated the alleged Oort Cloud was disturbed by either passing objects or the solar system going thru a more dense interstellar dust cloud. Objects from the Oort Cloud invaded the inner solar system peppering the Earth and Moon. An impact around 4 bya may have triggered life, the chaos declined for almost 4 billion years until more chaos and an evolutionary spurt 400 mya. In the beginning Father Sky mated with Mother Earth to create life... silly myths

                No, no, no. You got the interpretation wrong.

                It's about energy from the sky sparking the matter on earth to create life.

                      they found "left-handed" amino acids in the Murchison meteorite. Either life was brought here or life existed even before the 4 bya collision and that impact released debris laden with amino acids flying around the inner solar system for us to find.

                        Saw it on BBC. It didn't look to impressive but anything to get the fundies to shut up.

                          We already have lots of transitional form fossils found but the Creationists will never give up on this, uh, "attack."

                          We find a missing link, and they will ask for two.
