Finding a new species that is mysterious and initially baffling is not nearly enough to put evolution in danger of being overturned. In fact it's almost a sure bet that it will only further bolster the case for evolution. After finding a new species, thousands of new questions arise and numerous tests will need to be done before there is even a chance to affect the theory in any way. Right now there is so much evidence for it that it is virtually rock solid. It's as verified as you can get in science. There are still gaps and mysteries as there are with virtually everything but it is as real as gravity.

YEC is a minority position even among Christians. Just thought I'd put that out there

I defy anyone ... and I mean anyone ... to say this animal arose as a result of biological evolution.

It was first noticed in 1939 and is still around today.

No one takes creationism seriously.
I guest "no one" means "millions"? No one should take "evolution" seriously.
Gad sukes, man. The "evidence" for evolution keeps crumbling away, while the evidence for creation keeps mounting. Romans 1:22. Wishing people on both sides all God's best.

All animals, including H. sapiens, arose from biological evolution.

Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha. That's a good one.
Did you hear the one about the earth being flat? Oh. That is old science also.

You realize that there are no sides, right?

All you have are a few dozen professional YEC’s who mangle, distort and blatantly misrepresent (i.e. lie) what actual scientists publish.

There are millions of scientists the world over, all actively doing research and publishing their findings. Don’t worry about ToE, it’s never been more robust.

The death knell for creationism/cdesign proponentsists/ID has rung, and it’s circling the drain as we speak.

Flat earth is antiquated bible fumbles. ToE is a modern theory with mountains of evidence. And, like gravity, won't go away even if you close your eyes.

RIGHT!
Overturning it would make it right, and nothing can make it right.

Michael Behe felt the same way, until he came across writings to the contrary, and then felt like his secular science professors had led him down the prim-rose path. There is a great deal written on the fall of ToE, and even Darwin's own words of the need of finding things to be simple rather than complex has destroyed his theory, which he predicted it would do.

i.e. for $5.00 they will defy your defy anyone.
Oh, I see.

No doubt they'll try.

But they'll just make themselves look bad.

I'm sure they'll try to find a technicality on something I said afterward.

But that's what happens when they'd rather talk about a challenge than answer it.

Well I haven't seen the animal named yet. Although since the overwhelming majority of the evidence suggests a common descent.
