Congratulations GC! You have now provided the minimum amount of evidence required for honest scientific discourse! Not without bitching and moaning like a toddler, that was super fun, but you got there in the end! Do me a favor and look at my posts in any other evolution thread in this subforum; notice how I always post references to the things I say? See how easy that makes it for people to check up if I'm full of shit or not?
As to the nature of your reference itself... No. Seriously, come on. First of all, you outright lied when you said there was doubt about this fossil specifically; there's doubt about fossils from China due to instances of tampering, and that elicits a degree of caution, but even your own link mentions nothing about this fossil in particular showing hallmarks that would indicate this. Secondly, a quick google search for additional sources to confirm your claim about this fossil yields no results (however, this very page is the top link!
) If I were being charitable, the best I could say is that you're drastically overstating the level of doubt surrounding this find, either due to misinterpretation or dishonesty. I can't say which for sure, but your reticence to post your sources hints that it's the latter.Incidentally folks, this is the sole source GC has on this. See how easy that was? And how much more honest I seem, making myself accountable for the claims I've made, GC?
