In other words, no crocoduck. It's not an example of how intelligence guides evolution, but of how cumulative changes can lead to results that could not happen via completely random forces. Creationists are prone to quote-mining to try and make it seem as if scientists are supporting creation accounts without realizing it, so add this to the pile of dishonest attempts at pretending that there is support for a creator.It where the evidence leads. For instance: The (FM) foramen magnum (opening in the base of the skull that receives the spinal column) in modern humans is in the center of the skull; whereas, in the great apes and other primates it is located in the posterior. http://img822.imageshack.us/img822/7767/skullofhumanandgorillam.png If this relocation of the FM emerged through natural-process biological evolution, early forms should gradually transition from the posterior location; but of course, there isn’t any paleontology evidence (the claim of ‘future discovery’ only has a limited shelf-life {please not again, that is so lame}). What is evident, is this relocation appeared suddenly in the fossil record, remains essentially unaltered, and was optimal as soon as it appeared
If you have an intermediate FM location image, post it.
Bullshit. See transition below.
