      365 million-year-old fish/tetrapod fossil found

      Interesting read...

      WASHINGTON - Scientists unearthed a skull of the most primitive four-legged creature in Earth's history, which should help them better understand the evolution of fish to advanced animals that walk on land.

      The 365 million-year-old fossil skull, shoulders and part of the pelvis of the water-dweller, Ventastega curonica, were found in Latvia, researchers report in a study published in Thursday's issue of the journal Nature. Even though Ventastega is likely an evolutionary dead-end, the finding sheds new details on the evolutionary transition from fish to tetrapods. Tetrapods are animals with four limbs and include such descendants as amphibians, birds and mammals.

      In very many cases, the visionary quality, the quality of the vision so to say, spills over, into the external world, so that the experiencer, when he opens his eyes, sees the outer world transfigured...

      That is impossible. Earth is only 6,000 years old.

      Then why don't we see snakes giving birth to 365-million years old tetrapod fossils today?

      It's only authoritative if found adjacent to more and less developed specimens in precise imitation of Darwin's tree diagram, with an affadavit reading "I did not put this here xoxo satan" dated and notarized by God.
      If you have a sense of caring for others, you will manifest a kind of inner strength in spite of your own difficulties and problems. With this strength, your own problems will seem less significant and bothersome to you. By going beyond your own problems and taking care of others, you gain inner strength, self-confidence, courage, and a greater sense of calm.Dalai Lama

      I thought it only counted if we found a representative complete and still-connected skeleton of every single permutation between the fossil in question and a human being.

      But then you would have to prove that Yahweh didn't create them by blowing clay, and you can never prove that. So we win.
