At last - a potentially valid objection to evolutionary theory. The fossil record is nor perfect for every species. Why would you expect otherwise? Also, the Darwinian view that evolution was gradual is being challenged by scientists. Gould and Eldrege advocate rapid changes followed by periods of stasis. See my previous posts.

Nulldog, any ideas on what TigerPaw's evolutionary alter-ego will look like? A " longer tail " for a better " balanced view of the cosmos "? ( you know how liberals always want " a balanced view of everything " , like shades of pastel. Sort of like a compromise. A balanced person will share a marriage part time with his wife, then his wife's sister, his grandaughter, with occasional visits to his neighbour; and from time to time they will all appear on the Jerry Springer and the Jenny Jones intergalactic shows to relate to the audience, " their life experiences" and "communicate their aspirations", TA Message #642 from Nulldog at Sep 16 1999 12:08PM Yeah, those who know what it is call it a religion, because it's another device to make us feel better by explaining where we came from. I prefer the ones that make me feel better about where I'm going, myself. BTW, don't forget to look at those pretty fossils. I have a collection myself. I sure wish I had a fossil of a series of ape-critters that doesn't have huge missing gaps in its progression...
