Another nail in creationism coffin

My Way News - Fossil Fish Sheds Light on Transition

The idea of creationism should just die. It's a silly idea to believe that man walked the earth with dinosaurs. There is no evidence for it. It makes no sense especially with proof of Darwinian evolution like this that keeps coming out. I was glad to read this story. Every time scientists discover another fossil like this I just picture them hammering another nail in a coffin where creationism lies. It's dark in there. Real enlightenment comes from learning about the world around you and you're place in it. Our world, our universe is amazing. There is no denying there is intelligent design in our world, especially when you look at the marvels of molecular biology. But it's intelligence that's developed over millions and millions of years. This link these guys found between our sea and land dwelling ancestors existed approximately 375-million years ago when there were no men or women around. There are probably so many other fossils still stuck in the earth waiting to be found to so they too can become further reinforcements for the nails that are already in that coffin. So does finding mean creationism will bite the dust? Probably not. To them, people who believe in science are ignorant. I am a journalist. I look at my sources. I need proof. Science gives proof. Evolution might not be totally iron-clad, but getting there. That's more than I can say for creationism. My opinion? It's time creationists evolve so their prehistoric ideas don't come across as dinosaur-like. It's 2006. It's time for all women and men to get their heads out of the water and open their minds to the scientific discoveries happening all around them - mostly on land.
