3. What's funny is how the MSM treated that fossil story

"New findings cause disputes in evolutionary theory"

No, you dipstick "journalist", we ALWAYS knew the evolutionary tree was a broad bush instead of a 1-branch tree. It's you using the hackneyed drawing of life-from-the-sea-ascending-to-man-with-briefcase that thought this was something brand new.

This is just another refinement, not a "controversy". x(

5. "cause disputes"

:puke: just the words some dumbass out there is waiting for.

7. YUP

A paleontologist said pretty much the same thing--fuel for the creationist nutballs.

I really wish they woulda had someone drop a comment about how impossible it all is, seeing as it all took us 7 days or something.
