Transition fossil found

Ger a load of this:

A 375 million year old fossil has been discovered that is a link in the transition of life from sea to land. The thing is a fish but is also kind of like a crocodile too. He looks pretty mean.

It will be interesting to hear the Creationists denounce and disavow this bit of evidence. No transitional fossils they have been singing in chorus for years. I do not expect that to change as they have no new tunes on their old pianos.

An AOL poll question today asked if you believe the Creation or Scientific stories of life origins, etc. I forget how many responded at the time, but 59% said yes to Science, 41% for Creation.

Those numbers are no victory for science. In fact they are pretty creepy. 41% believing unfounded contentions over mountains of hard facts is scarey.

check oudt this article in the Boston Globe:
