Another missing link found: Creationists, take that!

Scientists have made one of the most important fossil finds in history: a missing link between fish and land animals, showing how creatures first walked out of the water and on to dry land more than 375m years ago.

Palaeontologists have said that the find, a crocodile-like animal called the Tiktaalik roseae and described today in the journal Nature, could become an icon of evolution in action - like Archaeopteryx, the famous fossil that bridged the gap between reptiles and birds.

No matter how many Missing Links us boffins find, the Creationists will never abandon their supremely untenable crackpot ideas...

your right einy

Basically their now going to ask for a transitional fossil between this and modern crocodiles or this and fish. Basically its an unending cycle.

Even if we discovered fossils of every creature that ever lived, revealing the slow and subtle change over time, the fundies would make up something. Rationality has nothing to do with their position.
