Big foot found!

65 million year out, have they no shame? misled the world that it was extinct when it wasn't

These crazy scientists also think the Dodo is extinct. Finding the Coelacanth proves that it still exists too, we just need to to find it. Brontasourii too.

Less exiting breaking news this week: they discovered a new species of bacteria living in our mouths, right under our noses.

That's not BigFoot, that's the Sasquatch. Big foot lives in the Himalayas and it's rumoured that BT has a call centre manned by them.

As for the scientists getting it wrong and correcting themselves, it seems to be contagious. Whatever happened to that seven day crap? Next they'll be blessing same sex marriages.

It's a "pelagic sea slug which floats about the ocean on its back (that's it's belly and foot you're looking at) feeding on blue bottles".

Sounds like a great life. Some species have all the luck eh?

Ocean's a big place and real hard to get around in. I don't think we should discount an entire scientific theory on the basis of missing one rare, deep water fish.

Evolution of the eye is also a real bad argument. Start with plants. Many have leaves that turn to face the sun. How do they do that? All animals have some kind of photo-sensitivity. Now, imagine you're a small worm on the sea floor. When it's light, you feed, dark you rest, like a plant. Extrapolate from there.

Substitute pies for bluebottles and that could describe Threaded on holiday.

BTW where is he?

Did they start with a fully funtioning eye and because it kept getting burnt by the Sun, evolve into cells that would bend the plant?

There's one surviving human species, survival of the fittest/luckiest and all that evolutionist stuff.

The Coelacanth is another survivor as are the crocodiles which I understand are pretty much unchanged from the time of the dinosaurs. No doubt there are other relic species kicking about in secluded bits of the planet that people haven't notived, but dragons are not likely to be among them.

looking almost exactly the same as they did 65 million years ago- no evolution there in all that time... hmm...

Of course the creationists are going to feel pretty damn silly when it's revealed that life on Earth was created as part of an intergalactic star childs GCSE Biology exam, we're all screwed when the child comes back with a C minus and so flushes the lot down the sink.

It's as plausible as any other religious theory after all with at least as much evidence.

One of the main points about evolution is that it happens when it offers some advantage in the prevailing environment.

It is perfectly possible to become so highly adapted that evolutionary mutations are no longer necessary - as in the case of sharks etc.
