Pakicetus being presented with webbed feet.

Hi, rand. I'm glad I've finally found a sympathetic listener to my plaint. The dishonesty and deception of the artist renditions below speaks for itself. Will you join me in my attempt to find someone "man enough" to admit that?This one is just silly--though we don't have photos or fossils, we know the subject couldn't have looked anything like this. But images of this kind have been used to brainwash billions! He is kinda cute,though. Blue-eyed JesusThis one may have been well-intentioned, but it is certainly no more honest: Black JesusBased on what some claim about the subject's geographic origin and time of birth, some say this image is more congenial to the truth, but it is still totally conjecture: Semitic JesusWell, as you can see, we've got our work cut out for us!Never mind those silly pakiwhatsits--people who truly think for themselvs don't read those stupid nature magazines, anyway, and these images impact far, far more people.As you can imagine, these untruths, these willful deceptions, and many, many, many others, are what led me to reject the whole shebang.Not only do such images have no basis in fact, their creators have the nerve to tailor them for each regional set of suckers!As though we wouldn't notice! They are not only dishonest but downright insulting as well.I look forward to working with you on correcting the record. If you are too busy with sneaky webbed feet, though, donations will do.Edit: Converted images to links per Better Form.This message has been edited by Omnivorous, 12-02-2005 01:25 PM

Yeah, on land I'm Yogi Bear, but in the water I'm Clark Gable. Amazing what a little slick-down can do.

You didn't like the Jesus pix? How about this? We now have a 9th Archaeopteryx fossil. The previous 8 fossils had supported the interpretation that Archie had a bird-like foot. The new fossil is so pristine, however, that researchers now can see that Archie instead had a dinosaur-like foot: much better evidence for evolution, of course--but then why didn't those dishonest evos make that claim all along? And this case involves actual fossil specimens, not drawings or paintings.Following the evidence, making the best interpretation of the evidence in hand...You were challenged to respond to substantive posts above of which there have been many. I posted those Jesus graphics to demonstrate your argument reduced to its absurdity.Which you knew, which you know: are you, at last, simply a troll, Rand?

I give up: you are invincibly what you are.Koreans say a burglar cannot sleep in his own house.I guess you can go on trolling the board, but I'll leave you to those with more patience.
