We never knew at some poing that during the Jurassic that mammals were quite tiny, until a recent discovery disproved this.. No problem..Evolutionists just push back the scales...
Btw - during which era did mammals first arrive and when did they get large/start to flourish?
Same with the split between the common ancestors of chimpanzee and man - pushed back millions of years now ..Sorry - I don't remember the source but it was a farily recent development..
That's not shifting the goalpoasts. That's revising theory based on new evidence. That's how science works, and it's a strength, not a weakness.
"Shifting the goalpost" means that you set a criterion for the opposition to meet, and when they meet that criterion, you insist that it is insufficient, and what you really meant was this
other criterion...
