Can't help but think this deserves more to be in Proposed New Topics than Links and Information.
Aside from the cynicism of the writer in falsely pretending Opiang's research supports his nonsense, how does someone come to the conclusion that the existence of an animal which shares mammalian and reptillian features is damning evidence against evolution with common descent? What's going on in this man's head?
What's going on in this man's head? A desperate attempt to prop up mythology against the damning evidence of reality. Creationists aren't interested in examining evidence to establish the truth; they interested in protecting the bible against any suggestion of falsity. Thus we get this parade of absurd Creationist arguments that show no sign of ever even attempting to understand.

Mental gymnastics? Or the mental equivalent of a couch potato
And the process you and RAZD describe thus leads to both the lack of taxon intermediate between the major divisions of life and the existence of taxon intermediate between the majot divisions of life being presented as if they prove the same point. Incredible mental gymnastics.
I don't think it's incredible mental gymnastics but rather the complete opposite: it's ill thought out dim witted nonsense at its best. The creos aren't thinking*, and they aren't trying to create a coherent alternative, they're just swinging away wildly in the hope something sticks - most of the time they're not trying to convince anyone with any understanding either.
* - Admittedly, there are probably a few to whom this generalisation does not apply, but only a few.
