The best evidence for creationism
These are the same creationists who believe if they can discredit Darwin in some way that will discredit his theory over 150 years later.
"Show us your best evidence for creation and/or a young earth."
"Nebraska man and Piltdown man were hoaxes."

Re: platypus nested hierarchy
A cat fossil and a dog fossil could be imagined as transitional.
You don't know what "transitional" means, do you?
quote:
TRANSITIONAL: marked by transition : involving, providing, or consisting of a passage, movement, or change from one state, condition, subject, place, etc., to another
quote:
TRANSITIONAL FOSSIL: a fossil that exhibits characteristics of both ancestral and derived forms
Since cats and dogs are both modern species, they cannot have characteristics of a derived form, they ARE the derived form. Of course, you could chose an actual transitional fossil and explain why that specimen does not have characteristics of both the proposed ancestral and derived forms. But you are not really able to do that are you? So you just stick to spouting irrelevant silliness.

In the way of an exercise, could a flying pig be fitted into a nested hierarchy?
You are the one who claims that the nested hierarchy is imaginary and any animal could be forced into a nested hierarchy by ambitious scientists. So how about you tell us where you imagine a pig with four legs and wings would fit into a nested hierarchy. There should be several places where it would fit just fine if your assertion that nested hierarchies are imaginary is correct.

In others words, any creature can be fitted into a nested hierarchy - all you need is a vivid imagination and an appetite for fake science.
Here's your chance to support your statement above. /ABE
Where would you put a flying pig in the "tree of life"?
