    Not a missing link but further evidence


    This is not a missing link but it is one more important transitional fossil that further adds to the mountain of evidence supporting evolution .

    Another way of saying it: evolution is a fact with our without this fossil.

    All fossils contribute to the mountain of evidence but so does molecular biology, genetics, DNA, ... Just open your eyes to the wide body of evidence.

    Opposing evolution is creationism and its WMD (words of mass deception) cousin called intelligent design (advocated by the non-Discovery Institute) which are not supported by any evidence at all.

    All evidence supporting evolution is there to see for those who want to open their eyes but ostriches with their head in the sand cannot see it or refuse to see it.

    The scientific debate is over.

    The religious debate by its very nature of being based on belief without any supporting verifiable evidence will never be over.

    It is like scientists saying that pigs don't fly and the religious saying that a verse in their holy book reveals to them that pigs can fly but that their god is no longer letting pigs fly to test their faith.

    Just accept it: there are no answers in genesis. None!
