Am I supposed to take your word for it? Or are you going to present evidence of the "vast majority of scientists" that are lying about "overwhelming evidence." What evidence? They have none. That's why evolution remains a theory and can't graduate into "fact."

I read up on Ambulocetus and Acanthostega and was not impressed. The language used in describing Ambulocetus is so speculative that it amounts to science fiction writing.
Scientists find fossilized bones of creatures that have been dead for extended periods of time. They then proceed to invent how the animal looked when it was alive to the point of describing it was covered with fur. Mind you, all they have is fossilized bones—along with their vivid imaginations.
Below is a depiction of how someone IMAGINED Ambulocetus might have looked, including its fur-covered body. The depiction is followed by a brief quotation describing the creature.
Keep your eyes on the bolded and red text within the quotation below, and you will see they're doing nothing but speculating/giving their personal opinions.
Quote:Its body was rather like that of an otter or crocodile and it could move on land as well as in water. It was probably not as fast and agile as an otter though, and palaeontologists think that it hunted more like a crocodile - ambushing and then using its large, puncturing teeth to hold struggling prey underwater until they drowned.http://www.abc.net.au/beasts/evidence/prog1/page7.htm
Did you notice that almost the entire paragraph is nothing but speculations? Now, explain to me how paleontologists could possibly know anything about this creature's hunting methods (ambushing and puncturing prey with its teeth and drowning its prey). That's your idea of evidence for macroevolution?
I love how Ego ignored my point as well as the kudos it got from people who presumably have the same complaint and went ahead with posting yet another epileptic fit waiting to happen.
I guess he doesn't care if we read it or not, he just wants to type at people. Perhaps I should put my point forward in a clearer and more formal manner he can understand....
Dear ALTER2EGO,
We find your choice to color every word you type pointless, irritating and childish. It is far less effort to read normal writing you don't have to squint at. As a result most people haven't bothered to even read your ramblings. Perhaps you could relate to this? Maybe this is intentional, I don't care that much if it is or isn't. Many here would just enjoy the luxury of not risking convulsions everytime we attempt to read something you've written in an extreme fit of verbal diarrhea.
Yours sincerely,
RaphielDrake... :-)
