Re: Why Is Evolution So Uncontroversial?
I never got an answer a few months back when I pointed out to Faith that trilobite and crab fossils never are found in the same rocks.

Faith, how would you explain why no crab fossil has ever been found among trilobite fossils? Or, why has no trilobite fossil been found among crab fossils? Trilobites and crabs both are kind of, you know, seafloor critters. Did they not like each other? Do floods wash them to different places because, maybe, crab claws get caught up by currents?

Why is that?
