Quote:Dr. Mitchell is best known for authoring AiG’s weekly web feature “News to Note” since April 2011. The wife of popular AiG speaker Dr. Tommy Mitchell, Elizabeth operates under the conviction that accurate history never violates biblical history, that correct scientific understanding of our past will never contradict God’s eyewitness account in the Bible, and that genuine understanding of God’s Word builds faith in Jesus Christ.
A fucking nut.

Yeah. You're hopeless!

That might be the most perfect crystallization of intellectual dishonesty I've ever seen.

The examination of the pelvic region of Tiktaalik does not blow anything out of the water. If anything it even more reinforces exactly what we would see in a transitional form. Here is the more recent article from the examining scientists: LINK
It also does nothing to diminish the evidence revealed by the discovery of Tiktaalik of the evolution of limbs in four limbed vertebrates: LINK

Well, that is what evolution means; change in allele frequency over generations. As I pointed out, that's what's in the textbooks, the university sources, and the generalized ones. It's not a poor word choice; if we were discussing anything else we wouldn't be discussing evolution at all.
Quote:2. Exlax gives examples of supposed pieces of evidence, but never defines what constitutes scientific evidence.
Noted. I didn't know I needed to go that basic.
Quote:3. The tiktaalik thing got blown out of the water by subsequent fossil finds.
How so? I know they found some in earlier fossil strata which indicates that its evolution happened earlier than anticipated, but they were still able to predict where it would be, and nobody was asserting that they would be finding the first iteration of the form. Just that if they went to a given strata, they'd find a given animal, which they did.
