Arctic fossils mark move to land
By Rebecca Morelle
BBC News science reporter

Fossil animals found in Arctic Canada provide a snapshot of fish evolving into land animals, scientists say.

The finds are giving researchers a fascinating insight into this key stage in the evolution of life on Earth.

US palaeontologists have published details of the fossil "missing links" in the prestigious journal Nature.

The 383 million-year-old specimens are described as crocodile-like animals with fins instead of limbs that probably lived in shallow water....

4. Hey! You can't say what I'm thinking!

OK, you can

[Richard D]

14. Me neither!

Crafty devil that God!

[Avalux]

2. God didn't create them; the Devil did.

Satan created fossils to confuse people and make them believe a lie. :crazy:

[mzteris]

5. NO! NO! NO!

GOD put those fossils on Earth to TEST OUR FAITH!!!!!!!!!!

:bounce: :bounce: :bounce: :bounce: :bounce:

15. heh heh

I heard this little gem of a theory last night when I watche dthe latest Sopranos episode when that preacher was talking to Tony in his hospital room...I was like "thats how they explain away hard evidence...god made it all to test us"

:crazy: is right!

3. That God, He's such a kidder isn't He?

Tryin' to fool us an' everything

[FSogol]

6. LOL, What will God do next?

One typo in your article: Cross out 383 million-year-old and replace with 6,000 year-old. ;-)

[BurtWorm]

Forgive me, Lord...

:evilfrown:

[drdtroit]

7. Stop it! Your headline made me spit coffee ...

:rofl: :applause: :headbang: :bounce: :toast:

[NanceGreggs]

11. Same here!

Thanks to posts like this, DU owes me approximately $4,276 for new keyboards!

BRILLIANT THREAD TITLE!

[slide to the left]

8. OR...

God's hand was in evolution. Why can't science and faith mingle?

[Goblinmonger]

23. Well

I think the "headline" is in reference to the ID crazies.

I don't think science and faith can really mingle, because science is about proof and there is no way to prove faith--that's why it's called faith. You can come up with explanations that seem good to you to bring the two together, but there is no way to test them so they can't be scientific.

[Ladyhawk]

24. Because faith is based on belief without question and science is based on

questioning every belief. That’s why.

Sam Harris, Richard Dawkins and others have about convinced me that faith and science cannot mix.

[BurtWorm]

26. E.O. Wilson is another with a convincing argument

about the fundamental incompatability of science and religion

[TAPat]

9. Nature! Ha!

Like they know what they're talking about...
:rofl:

Edit - that was sarcasm by the way...

[fishwax]

10. very nice subject line

:rofl:

[obreaslan]

12. Is this officially the Jesus Fish?

:rofl:

[OmmmSweetOmmm]

13. Come on! We all know that they had to have been here on this planet

along with Adam and Eve!

Laughing here because Sunday night on The Sopranos, an evangelical tried to convice Tony Soprano that the dinosaurs were here during the garden of eden.

:rofl:

[Lochloosa]

16. Intelligent Design....

Throwing those fake fossils out there to try and confuse us. Damn him.

What will he do next? Bury another "Lucy" on a hillside in Africa?

[RaleighNCDUer]

17. Scientists are in disagreement.

Some say God created them; others say Satan placed them there.

[DBoon]

19. more hard-htting fact-finding from Fox News

We report. You decide.

[Imperialism Inc.]

22. *snerk*

:rofl:

hilarious

[bee]

18. Finally. Proof that god exists!

:sarcasm: :rofl:

[BurtWorm]

20. Isn't Jesus's word good enough for you?

:o

[bee]

:evilgrin:

[MissB]

21. Thank you.

:spray: That was funny.

[femmedem]

27. Take a closer look at that fossil...

It looks exactly like Dubya.
