You all sound like a bunch of buffoons. None of you have even seen it. I was able to see a drawing but that is it. The article I read said "Researchers found several fossils between four and nine feet long. The creature was a fish -- with scales, fins and gills -- but it moved its head independently of its body, could drag itself along on land as today's seals do, and may have walked, although the research team did not find fossil hindquarters to test that hypothesis." Where is are the lungs? More hopeful (faith?)banter about nothing. Maybe you can find another old monkey tooth and draw up another caveman(see Piltdown man and Ramapithecus). Maybe you should drop the agenda and really look at the facts. You have been looking at fossils for years and still have the same old tired "theory." First of all, how did what ever was there before "Big Bang" get there? What was it? Second, the principal steps en route to the origin of life as envisioned by evolutinary theory, are (1) the existence of the right primitive atmosphere and (2) a concentration in the oceans of an organic soup of "simple" milecules necessary for life. (3) From these some proteins and nucleotides (complex chemical compounds)that (4) combine and acquire a membrane, and thereafter (5) they develop a genetic code and start making copies of themeselves. NONE OF WHICH HAVE BEEN PROVEN. The chance of life forming apart from a creator on this rock is 1/10 followed by 113 more zeros. Any thing over 1/10 followed by 50 zeros is considered never to have happend. Getting the correct left handed 20 amino acids to line up and form a protein, considering there are over 100 some are right handed and some are left handed, is ridiculous. If somehow the amino acids did reach the organic soup the idea of polymerization is contrary to what takes place in that environment. More than likely a depolymerization would have taken place, breaking them up. If some how they survived this volatile envirenment either the oxygen in the atmosphere or if no atmosphere at this point, harsh ultraviolet radiation would have destroyed them.
So before you go (again) adding this unseen, unstudied, artists rendition to my family tree the basic begining needs to be solved. Evolutions can't even get us to the first and oldest fossil let alone "bridge", "transition" or any other term you may use, to any creature. The uneducated, bible thumping, cretins know the beginning and it makes perfect sense. See Genesis chapter 1, its all in there.
