Another transitional fossil found

4/10/2008 | 3:30 PM | Evolved Rationalist

Suck it, cretinshits creationists!

A 92 million year old fossilized snake with legs was found in France.

With the abundance of transitional fossils that have been found, creationists who deny evolution are either ignorant, deluded or plain stupid. Remember, cretins: The existence of even one transitional fossil blows your special creation myth out of the water.

We have the fossils. We win.

You have the dogma. You lose.

    "You have the dogma. You lose."

    Does it help if they just yell the dogma louder? 'Cause you know that's what they're going to do... :)

    scientists find remains of the limbed serpent of genesis!!! praise jeebus!!!you know..THAT serpent..whose progeny God cursed to crawl henceforth on their bellies??? you see, faith and science ARE compatible...
    Obviously the sediments containing these fossilized remains were mysteriously dislodged in the Flood and reconstituted at some new stratum. Dislodged, yeah, thats the ticket. I mean, come on guys, 92 million years??? We all know that all geologists starting with James Hutton circa 1790 have had their heads up their ass, right?? The geologic column is a myth. (Never mind that we use it everyday to find oil and other shit we need) Just preachin' the controversy here

    Yeah, the evolution machine, the lungless frog, the snake with legs ... the news is coming thick and fast.

    Though the cryptotheist ID-crowd will be quick to deny it all, as usual.

    That is just your assumption, Darwinist. The fossils are just fossils that show nothing. You just assume that the fossil proves evolution.

    (I am a scientist at AiG.)

    Darwinists tell lies about fossils that show nothing, not even the evolution fairytale.

    Creationist, thank you for standing up for Jesus.

    Creationist, thanks for making a fool out of yourself, showing that you know nothing about science, and making us rational people laugh at the quality of 'science' you do at AiG.

    Don't mock, Darwinists. I am a real scientist and I have published in Answers Research Journal. I studied at Liberty University. I am a real scientist, ok Darwinists?????

    Shalini Sehkar EXPOSEDDDDDDDD!!!!!!!!

    Liberty University? Answers Research Journal?

    You are a scientist?!

    BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA FAIL!

    If 'creationist' isn't a poe, I'll lose all faith in creationist brains.

    Oh, wait...

    Never mind.

    wow you have a lot of trolls here.. how many of them are real and not satirical? you can never tell unfortunately =/

    and "AiG scientist" is the greatest oxy moron in the english language

    "creationists who deny evolution are either ignorant, deluded or plain stupid."

    I thought that creationists, by definition, *all* deny evolution. And yes, to do so requires the obstinate ignorance or natural stupidity that makes delusion possible.

    Btw, "creationist", there is no such thing as a scientist at AiG, just as there are no answers in Genesis.

    Yeah, you know they will say this only confirms what the Bible says about the serpent.

    Although...nobody appears to have told the guys who set up the Creation Answers Museum - the snake in the display there has no legs. Typical creationist fail?

    Interesting how Creationist keeps insisting he is a scientist without providing any specifics.

    I am a scientist, I obtained my degree from Liberty University and I work at AiG. Why is everyone claimimg that I am not a scientist?

    Darwinist persecution!! Shalini Sehkar EXPOSED!!

    Someone should tell Niles Eldridge...

    "Darwin's prediction of rampant, albeit gradual, change affecting all lineages through time is refuted. The record is there, and the record speaks for tremendous anatomical conservatism. Change in the manner Darwin expected is just not found in the fossil record."   The Myths of Human Evolution   p.45-46 - Niles Eldridge Curator of Natural History Museum

    Apparently Shalanonymous you are smarter than Stephan J. Gould.

    "The extreme rarity of transitional forms in the fossil record persists as a trade secret of Paleontology. Evolutionary trees that adorn our textbooks have data only at the tips and nodes of their branches; the rest is inference, however reasonable, not the evidence of fossils."

    (Dr. Stephan J Gould, Harvard Paleontologist, "Evolution, Erratic Pace")

    John Murphy,

    "The extreme rarity of transitional forms in the fossil record persists as a trade secret of Paleontology. Evolutionary trees that adorn our textbooks have data only at the tips and nodes of their branches; the rest is inference, however reasonable, not the evidence of fossils."

    Way to quote mine you creationist slug !!!

    wow i love how creationists such as john murphy ALWAYS take quotes out of context. stephen gould is a REAL scientist who is a a strong defender of evolutionary theory. everyone with a positive IQ knows that

     
  21. Joshua |

    Here is another Gould quote for everyone:

    "Since we proposed punctuated equilibria to explain trends, it is infuriating to be quoted again and again by creationists — whether through design or stupidity, I do not know — as admitting that the fossil record includes no transitional forms. Transitional forms are generally lacking at the species level, but they are abundant between larger groups."

    John Murphy,

    Thanks for proving my point that most creationists are either ignorant, stupid, deluded or plain liars and dishonest dumbfucks for Jesus.

     
  23. John Murphy |

    More from Gould:

    "Paleontologists [fossil experts] have paid an exorbitant price for Darwin's argument. We fancy ourselves as the only true students of life's history, yet to preserve our favored account of evolution by natural selection we view our data as so bad that we almost never see the very process we profess to study."

    Let's see, if the facts don't support you then you come up with a "hypothesis" that will - ergo "Punk Eek" - The transitions happened so fast that we can't find any evidence for them. Got to love that science!

    Thanks for the compliment Shalanonymous

    hi, this is the "preaching to the controversy" guy from an earlier post.

    "Let's see, if the facts don't support you then you come up with a hypothesis that will.."

    You're halfway there, murph. Then you have to go out into the real world and TEST the fucking thing with real world data. That's how those of us in the reality-based community do science, murph..and yes I'm talking to YOU too, creationist. We don't have the luxury of jamming our fingers in our ears and going "nah nah nah can't hear ya" when the FACTS don't match our hypothesis, unlike the folks at AIG and other bastions of "faith-based science". Look at the humiliating contortions your insistence on biblical inerrancy force you into...Radiometric dating and the geologic column disprove your fundie YEC timetable, so you have to claim geologic formations weren't shaped by observable phenomena like deposition and erosion, but by a single recent cataclysmic event..you have to invent a special "christian" geology. Unable to contradict recent discoveries in astronomy you have to retreat into a special "christian" astronomy..if not into geocentrism and sub moronic ramblings about "aether". The same goes for every other branch of knowledge where the observable facts run counter to the creation myth of a tribe of Bronze Age bedouin...the people pointing out the facts are in a satanic conspiracy and you have to cobble together a "christian" fact free counter "science".

    So you "teach the controversy"..blissfully ignorant of the fact that, outside the US this controversy DOES NOT EXIST. All over the world millons of Christians; believers in the Nicene Creed and the Trinity, all; see NO contradiction between their faith and "methodological naturalism" as you people call real science. Talking to Christians from Europe is a pleasure simply because of the blessed lack of dumbfuckery and general tardation you people have come to associate with the name of christian.

    Take a good look at yourselves with your pig ignorant rejection of all knowledge that doesn't suit you and your nasty dominionist political agenda.

    Not only were you against the civil rights movement (Falwell) but you even have second thoughts about the Fourteenth Amendment (Rushdoony). You people aren't just against the ERA, not just against the Voting Rights Act,not just against the New Deal, not just against all biology since Darwin and Wallace, not just against all geology since Hutton and Smith...you're against the freaking ENLIGHTENMENT. You are at war with every decent impulse in Western thought since the 18th fucking century.


    You people are, in fact, America's TALIBAN. The good news is that after November's elections you guys get to go back to your little swampwater MADRASAS and the rest of us get our country back. Don't let the door hit your ass on the way out.

    John Murphy, PE does not posit that. Why don't you learn something about PE before attempting to make a point?

    You fail. Try again.

    If you learnt anything about population biology, you would understand why phyletic gradualism fails. Too bad that real science seems to go over your theistarded cretinshit brain.

    I am a scientist at AiG! The blog author is a TROLL!! Shalini Sehkar EXPOSED as a Nazi and a TROLL!!

    Nazi supporters should be arrested and jailed for evil!!!!!

    Oh god, did creationist just call SHALINI a troll?
    HAHAHAHAHAHAHA
    So let me get this straight.
    Blogging about the possibility of eliminating Tay-Sachs disease via eugenics=author is a Neo-Nazi.
    Does blogging about cats make me a furry? Does blogging about anime make me Japanese?

    I happened upon this blog while researching the extent of delusional "creationism" which is sadly still rampant in the United States (and as noted, even while the rest of the world has moved on). I especially enjoyed the rantings of "creationist" and his phony claim of being a real scientist. That could have been a plausible scam until he bragged of his so-called credentials - an alleged degree from Liberty University. That is the academic equivalent of a degree from a box of Cracker Jacks.
