Good transitional fossils come in the form of sharks teeth. Great whites have serrations, Mako's do not. There are only a handful of fossil great white teeth found with the serrations just starting to take shape. This suggest giant leaps in evolution, and , or, little skips. Almost like the mutation volume was crank up for a short time, then lowered back to a quit hum. The Cambrian explosion would of been like an AC/DC concert.

if they are religious they go to their priests or whatever too,and after they are cured "so good that God helped me in recovering faster" and etc but there are stupids(I think an example would be the 7th day adventists but I'm not sure) that won't accept any kind of medical help if they are in need

Brilliant,

That is such a good analogy, when religious people are dying why do they need doctors. Why don't they just pray to their gods only without going to the doctor. It is really telling in who and what they do believe.

The Skeptic movement needs more people like Shermer to be public faces. The man's got style, charm, he's eloquent, reserved, forthright with a clear, concise delivery. He's also a snappy dresser who photographs well. Too many of the bright lights in this much-needed movement look like the kinds of people you'd see debating these issues in lineups at comic book conventions. I'm glad they're doing what they do, but any movement needs classy reps if it wants to preach to more than just the choir.

Point 8 & Point 9 in the Baloney Detection Kit are my favorite. We need more videos/material like the Baloney Detection Kit!

Michael Shermer is the man! His explanations are the best.
