Re: Typical?
Dredge writes: In other words, he's relying on fossil evidence that doesn't exist. No, that would be you. You are making claims that certain species have no ancestors with absolutely no fossil evidence to back it. It's not that hard to figure out that our fossil collections are incomplete. We have only searched a tiny, tiny, tiny portion of the Earth for fossils, and new fossil species are found each and every year.

Dredge writes: Unlike Darwinoids, I interpret the fossil as it is, not as I want it to be. Then how do you determine if a fossil doesn't have an ancestor just from the fossil alone?

Re: Typical?
Dredge writes: A gap in the Darwinian story ... a story I don't subscribe to. What story?
All I know is life-forms changed over time - I don't know if they evolved from ancestors or not, so I don't look at the fossil record in terms of evolutionary ancestors. Then look at them in terms of physical characteristics. When we compare fossils we find that their characteristics form a tree-like pattern called a nested hierarchy. This is exactly what we would expect to see if life evolved from a common ancestor. Can you provide any reason why this isn't true?

Re: Typical?
Dredge writes: Fossils can't tell us what happened or confirm any theory about what happened ... If life evolved from a common ancestor then fossils should form a nested hierarchy. Why can't we use fossils to test this prediction?

Re: Typical?
Dredge writes: Wow, in that case, you're an ignoramus who's read nothing about the evolutionary history of life on earth. Without the (alleged) evolution of novel body plans and organs, there would be nothing for evolutionary scientists to write about!! Name a novel body plan and novel organs.
There would be literally thousands of scientific papers and articles published that discuss the evolution of novel body plans and organs. Here are just a few: There's your evidence. Go read up.
