All IDiots still in existence should read this stupid IDiotic article up
at the ID perps creationist news site and determine if they still want
to be IDiotic creationists. This article is likely worse than the Top
Six in terms of something that the vast majority of IDiots just don't
want to understand about nature.

The most obvious reason that most IDiots still in existence should run
from the junk is that Bechly makes no bones about the dating of the
fossils. He tries to obfuscate about the date of fossil
Phosphatotherium being around 50 million years old, but eventually has
to admit that later discoveries confirm that age for the fossils. He
knows that the fossils that he is talking about represent animals that
existed millions of years ago when the majority of IDiots are still YEC.

Even though millions of years separate these fossils his only IDiotic
claim is that around 55 to 48 million years ago there was a rapid diversification of this group. It is just nuts. He has to know that
the ancestry goes back further than 55 million years, but discounts the
older fossils. What is sad is that this lineage evolved after the mass extinction around 65 million years ago, and evolved from one of the few mammalian lineages that survived that extinction event. It has already
been confirmed by the DNA evidence that the old morphological data
linking Hyrax and manatees to elephants is correct.

What do any IDiots care about what their designer was doing 55 million
years ago to evolve the ancestors of modern elephants? Bechly has no
beef with how elephants evolved within the last 40 million years.
Proboscidea are supposed to have one of the best fossil records of any
order of mammals, and his only beef is that too much evolution seems to
have happened 55 million years ago.

How many IDiots want to know what their designer was doing 55 million
years ago to evolve elephant-like animals from species that existed at
that time?

This IDiotic argument is as stupid as Meyer's Cambrian explosion
stupidity where he claims that 25 million years was too short of a time
period to evolve the phyla that are observed in the Cambrian explosion
that happened over half a billion years ago.

Really, Meyer and Bechly are telling the creationist rubes that there
were living biospheres that existed long ago in the past where their
designer was diddling with lifeforms to create new species from what
already existed, and it took the designer millions of years to do it.
Then there has been millions of years of subsequent diddling (maybe it
just happened when the designer wasn't looking) to change those species
into what we have today.

What kind of evidence for intelligent design is denial junk like this?
