Though it is out of the norm, many organisms have remained evolutionarily static for millions of years (as seen through the fossil record and up until today), coelacanths and ginkgo trees being the first that come to mind.

As for the parrot fossil, described by Clemens’ graduate student Thomas Stidham, it was “…only half an inch long, was probably from a bird about the size of a macaw, and most closely resembles the lories of Australia and some of the South American macaws. It thus is the oldest known parrot and the oldest reported modern land bird…”, it is not the fossil of any modern parrot and, indeed, its status as a fossil parrot is still being argued in the scientific community.

To be honest, I hope you are done swimming upstream at this blog and really hope not to see a reply from you (though I suspect my post will only cause you to double down on your illogical, rhetorically challenged responses).

I, however, am done.

You’re really pretty funny, ‘theological debate’! The only knowledge you have on the subject all appears to come from pro-atheist, anti-creation propaganda. So far you’ve said nothing which might indicate you had a clue of what you were talking about.

At the beginning of this subject I posted an article I thought was very interesting. The article included comments from William Clemens Jr who is quite creditable. He said modern parrots were found in the late Cretaceous. Here is a little about him: http://www.ucmp.berkeley.edu/about/history/waclemens.php. Along with modern birds, the article also listed numerous fish, amphibians, reptiles and modern animals in dinosaur rock which are living today.

Your first response was to trash the researcher and then trash the publisher by claiming their publications are full of half truths, miss quotes and down right lies. Having claimed to have read the book Living Fossils which contained all of theses defects you were unwilling or unable to produce one example from the book containing these said deceptions.

Thus far there has been nothing said in this string of comments of how these creatures avoided evolutionary change for millions of years. There discoveries might challenge the arrangement of living organisms and alter evolutions phylogenic tree. An alteration or adjustment in the scientific prospective would be the normal response if science was part of evolutions equation. If science is any part of this scenario it would seem these discoveries would be publicly noted. The appearance is pro evolutionists are concerned with protecting a theory at the expense of digesting the evidence, in which case we all lose.

Perhaps Maddogma will have the fortitude to check his assumptions aside from biased religious humanist sources.
