tiktaalik
transitional fossil
transition form
evolution
evidence
@jaredr4125
In what way is tiktaalik not a transitional fossil? What is the definition of a transitional form? How do you describe the evolution of tetrapods? What about Ichthyostega,Acanthostega,Panderichthys? What did Ray comfort tell you about those? they are hoaxes as well?

Amazing that this one little "fish" can threaten so many peoples religion. I don't go to the creationist pages and claim that its a hoax, why do you idiots come here?

It matters not that Tiktaalik was found as predicted, those who cling to the supernatural modus operandi will never change their minds based on facts, they have too much invested to admit to being wrong.

Tiktaalik has been found not to be a transitional fossil. Will this be ignored like usual when evolution is found to be wrong?

@HEIGHTSIXFIVE: Lie? Provide references when you say that. Have there been hoaxes and wishful thinking and leading the data, yes. So, what lie are we to not believe? Despite the exaggerations and hoaxes, science corrects itself.

@RyuDarragh He's talking about the organs that changed. We can't use water in the same way a fish can't use air. DIfferent process to meet the same needs.

Type "Lucy a hoax" into your search engine and look for "Australopithecus Afarensis, Or Lucy, Is Found To Be A Hoax." That has the whole story on it.

No offense but, where did you get the information that Lucy was a hoax lol. I am quite sure you are mixing up Piltdown Man with Lucy. Lucy has been studied by numerous scientists and is a beautiful trace of our evolutionary past. Piltdown was a hoax.
Give me a citation...nothing more. It needs to be from a university database or scientific journal.
