Not only are there "tweener" bones, there is "tweener" DNA.  Except for pure Africans, we all have some Neanderthal DNA.  And yet. . . we're not Neanderthals.  How does that work?

That is "imaginative" and different then the last time I looked. I have no idea how it works. My science endeavors have to do with looking in a forward direction. I study vacuum mechanics , cold electricity, magnetism and gravity--natural energy and forces. It's cool stuff!

I have studied geology as a hobby but only as it relates to finding precious metals and stones. I haven't studied the geologic record even though it is written in stone Smile
My girlfriend thinks I'm a stalker. Well...she's not my girlfriend "yet".

I discovered a new vitamin that fights cancer. I call it ...B9

I also invented a diet pill. It works great but had to quit taking it because of the side effects. Turns out my penis is larger and my hair grew back. And whoa! If you think my hair is nice!

When does size truly matter? When it's TOO big!

I'm currently working on a new pill I call "Destenze". However...now my shoes don't fit.

RE: Evolution
Then what makes you say "There is no fossil record of forms slowly evolving over time!", "There is no missing links between any forms!" and "No tweener bones Dude--not one!" ?
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.'

RE: Evolution
The more intermediate fossil forms you find, the more gaps there. Therefore, creationism.

You cant win. You give them fossils and they still complain.

Probably. Doesn't do anything positive for his credibility.

RE: Evolution
Is "the God of the Gaps" still a thing?

It's pretty much the only thing.

Darwin never called it evolution*, you clod. It was his publicist Thomas Henry Huxley who coined the term.

And while Darwin may have started out coe he ended up agnostic, largely due to his scientific discoveries (yes he did more than formulate the Theory of Evolution, he was one of the century's leading geologists, and any century's leading expert on barnacles especially barnacle sex).

* But he did use the word evolve.

He likes anything for a response. Knows fuck-all about biology. check Come at me with check-mate, bro. Rolleyes

Knows fuck all about trolling either, despite it being his chosen profession.

To be fair, I don't think Haipule is a troll at all.

Whatever radioactive spider bit Little Rik might have made a cobweb in his house, but he isn't a troll by any stretch.
