That's just a drawing. Like, where are teh fossils?
At the age of five, Skagra decided emphatically that God did not exist. This revelation tends to make most people in the universe who have it react in one of two ways - with relief or with despair. Only Skagra responded to it by thinking, 'Wait a second. That means there's a situation vacant.'

What you guys have to remember is a creationist always has excuses to explain away the evidence
If you bring up DNA or Bones they will just say same design same designer this of course fails because first it assumes there is a designer. Then it raises the obvious question why a god would make species look similar if they are not related ? Now I've seen them accuse those of us who accept actual science get accused of ignoring differences. But we don't as diversification within a species can be high but the key things that make them related stay the same. But the great thing is we can use there own logic on species they insist are a kind after all not all dogs or cats can mate.

Yep. It was the first great air pollution event. Free oxygen is like rocket fuel for multicellular life.
