the coffin made of nails

Lets talk for a moment about creationism. Now, you can call this and that a nail in the coffin, but at one point the theory with more pieces of evidence than any other theory (if you are a retard, there is a difference between hypothesis and theory) becomes a coffin made of nails, stuffed to the gills, so to speak, with evidence. Just as an aside: As we SHOULD recall, a theory holds a ton more water than a hypothesis. An example of a hypothesis is creationism- no real evidence (yet) backing an idea that has been proposed.

One thing harped on by creation over and over is a missing link. Tiktaalik, Eusthenopteron, Archaeopteryx and Australopithecus are all missing links that have fallen prey to Scientific naming. What I mean by this is quite simple. Once you give a proper name to a species in the fossil record it creates two more gaps. The fossil record cannot record every single animal ever. So, a time to strike comes, burying the opposition and forever ruining that argument once and for all. My proposal is the following: Australopithecus sediba, a smoking gun that is exactly where it needs to be morphologically and chronologically to be a perfect missing link between ape-like hominoids and hominids, should not be named. It should be called a missing link and not assigned a proper specific epithet. Of course, it already has, but that should be rescinded and stripped. This animal should be called THE human missing link. In one fell swoop you would demolish a pivotal creationist crutch of "show me a missing link" (which we do, but they are babies in need of spoon feeding) and basically sucker punch them with their highly touted soul-bearing original-sin garabge Humanity.

It's a sad day when this has to be suggested. You know, with a seamless fossil record, you would actually have to call things transitional. In a cascading series of skeletons from point A to B, the 50% mark on the line between them must be called transitional- you cannot assign a species name to that if you are not a douche bag. A perfect 50/50 split, like our nice hominid based on 2 complete skeletons (not fragmentary shit), would have to be transitional. You could even have put these two in the genus Homo
...that's how close it is.

Count on arky/anthro to FUCK things up again.

Science shocks again.

Everyone seems to be loving this

Wow, big shock, small predators in the cretaceous were scavengers too! Honestly, the fact this this is even news is beyond me. The amount of tooth-marked bone I've seen in my short career is quite enough to make this not an issue. OH WOW, some broken teeth were found associated that match some teeth marks! Mundane, expected, who cares. Predators do as predators are.

Racism: Turns out I'm right to call differences. As if my two readers didn't already know it.

Anyways, this isn't impressive because once again I'm correct, but it's impressive because of the implications. I know I'm waaaay behind the ball on this, and that's my fault, for not giving a shit about bacteria or genetics. However, the fact that gene swapping can apparently happen between unrelated and un-mating bacteria is pretty impressive.

Holy shit science fucked up, again, this proves jesus

Don't flip out cause a 2 meter varanid was found in a populated area. It hardly comes to the ground and apparently sticks to the trees. What I find most impressive about this is that it is a frugivore. All the other varanids, including its close relative the komodo, had better be calling it fruity.

You'd think this is the coolest of news this month, but it's not.

Yet another nail in the coffin. By now, the creationist coffin has to be MADE of nails. Does a 'missing link' get any better? Half the experts want it in the genus Homo, half in Australopithecus, yet it has to land somewhere. The traits support it as a total transition form, at a predicted time for it (2MYA) which is a time only known from fragments til now and sought after as the time that ape turned into man, so to speak.

No matter what happens, this fellow and his equally complete mommy from near Johannesburg, South Africa, will need a genus, thusly conveniently creating yet another gap instead of rightfully filling one.

Now for the BIG BIG news

Metazoans: Turns out, Oxygen isn't our crutch after all.

Okay, so it's a crutch for all but like 1 or 2 species so far. Either way, the fact that anoxic real estate is inhabited metazoans and not just bacteria is MASSIVE. Imagine the implications for the history of the Earth!!!!!!

Okay, I know it's a lame post but get off my jock, I'm sure the 2 readers can deal with it.
