Re: Novel protein coding gene in an Antarctic fish

....however these novel features tend to only add fitness in isolated environments,...
So, "can't be in isolated environments" is now a new qualifier? Moving the goalposts as we go along, I see.
mindspawn writes:
In the E.Coli example this involved a re-activating of an inactive gene, not any additional coding genes.
Nonsense. Did you miss your own debate where it was shown that it was not just re-activation of an inactive gene?
People are not as stupid as you think they are, mindspawn.

Debate has been over for a very long time

It would be world news and the creation/evolution debate would be over.
In science this debate has been over for 150 years.
Only a very small percentage of religious 'scientists' pretend that this debate is still occurring in science.
That small percentage of 'scientists' do the 'debate' in things like churches and mosques and on the net. Not in any scientific organisation, where scientific debates belong.
The debate has been won a very, very long time ago. Evolution won.

Re: Isolated environments.
I saw a great documentary on the Galapagos islands last night.
There was another one on those Lemurs in Madagascar on the National Geographic Channel about two weeks ago, too.

Re: Which of those skulls are dated?
As usual, even been shown a few times that you've still got no idea what the words 'transitional fossil' mean, you still don't get it.
Hint: the words 'transitional fossil' don't mean 'direct ancestor', mindspawn.
People don't really have to be rocket scientists to comprehend that. It's not difficult at all.
It seems to be very difficult for you, though.
Your difficulties in being able to understand or grasp the basics provide a hint that you experience quite a few insufficienceies in your skills of basic comprehension.
