I thought that was what was represented in the fossil record? Species disappearing and never showing up again.

Please keep in mind that the fossil record is only a very small representative of the flora and fauna that was existing at any one time. Considering the vast majority of organisms are never fossilized and then later to last due to geologic processes we're talking a small % here.

It's like take a numerous picture libraries and volumes of photos all showing the progression and relationships of life and then wiping out 95% of it and random. It only allows for a small snap shot of what was once existing & how they are related.

Species do disappear (extinction) but it doesn't follow that just b/c speciation occurs that one branch off of that speciation event (parent or daughter) has to go extinct.

No. I don't think that has ever been part of the theory of evolution. Do you have some source that says the parent species is required to become extinct?

I could tell that AV was joking. I'm not sure if you are being serious either.

I said fossil record. I did not even mention evolution.

Hitchslap, how can you doubt a source that regularly has a story about bat-boy:

Lol. Nice catch.

Big news!

Reporters are eager to find out which of his 99 problems will be dealt with, first.

I've suspected that Tellastory was a poe for quite some time. Quoting from WWN proves it. Anyhow, he also mentions Ica stones (no, not Inca stones). If anyone is up for some thread archaeology, I suggest perusing the search function and looking through the many threads this very topic has been up before. Some of the old threads are quite funny, and occasionally educational too.

Even though birds were flying around it?

That's like saying that, even if Homo habilis walked down my street right now, it wouldn't really make much of a difference to the theory of evolution.

People would be asking:

If we came from Homo habilis, then why is Homo habilis still around?

What makes you think that the an ancestral species has to die out for a descendent species to arise? The theory of evolution doesn't say anything like that.

He was? Oh good, I couldn't tell.

Wow, I just noticed that.

Poe. Has to be a poe.

I don't know. There is a poster over on CARM who recently posted the same thing (minus the Bible verses and dinosaur foot) and he seems pretty serious. He even made the same mistake about them being "Inca" stones.

What's next, a creationist citing the Onion as a source for why evolution cannot be true?

Shameful.

I mean, I kind of agree, but I find it hard to believe that anyone could be that dense.

Look at some of the most popular topics, right next to the article.

Most creationists here believe the bible. Just sayin'.

There was a time when I believed the Bible, too. I can't judge.

But Bill O Reilly leaving Fox News? That's too much.

Haven't I mentioned before that creatures do not have to go extinct to give rise to new species? Think of wolves and dogs.

I used to be a fan of WWN when it was in print. I still have one of the last issues before they disappeared for a few years and reappeared on the net. It just isn't quite the same.

The fact that you are referring to the Ica Stones as the Inca Stones tells us all exactly how little research you put into them and whether they are considered valid or a hoax.

Maybe his grandparents and parents died as soon as he was born?

Yes, I think his vision is of a 'Logan's Run' world, but on steroids...! You don't even get to survive until 30......you die as soon as you reproduce....!

We already have that, at least for the males in quite a few spider species.

Don't forget the praying mantis. One wrong move that displeases the female and it's off with their heads
