These are the guys with the accademic credentials to back up their claims.
An interesting and candid confession by an evolutionist. |
This link asserts that:
"Are there any transitional fossils?
None of the five museum officials whom Luther Sunderland interviewed could offer a single example of a transitional series of fossilized organisms that would document the transformation of one basically different type to another.
Dr Eldredge [curator of invertebrate palaeontology at the American Museum] said that the categories of families and above could not be connected, while Dr Raup [curator of geology at the Field Museum of Natural History in Chicago] said that a dozen or so large groups could not be connected with each other. But Dr Patterson [a senior palaeontologist and editor of a prestigious journal at the British Museum of Natural History] spoke most freely about the absence of transitional forms."
This is complete nonsense.

Again - the answers in genesis people are pushing a political agenda because the US Supreme Court disallowed the teaching of ID in schools as it was held to be a religion. And curricula in the USA is influenced by local school boards which makes it a highly political situation.
Science has been stymed enough by religion. Enough is enough. Evolutionary medicine is merely a research topic at the moment, but has real potential.
