The most interesting, underreported and creationism shattering detail is that they were able to use The Theory of Evolution as a model to predict WHAT they were looking for and WHERE they would find it before they had dug anything up.

Broken link.

Well, great. This will join the Haast Eagle in haunting my nightmares. I hope you’re happy.

That picture of the ‘crocoduck’ is actually from http://www.worth1000.com , which is an image manipulation website with artificial creations. But I assume you are just trying to be humorous.

Well aware. The pic is a joke, but the rest of the article is serious.

Looks like this blog isn’t Unicode-compliant. Here’s what my name is supposed to look like.

Toothy beaks prove nothing.

And they're not meant to. Have you read the quoted article? The "bony-toothed" part is a clumsy way to express that these are not teeth. They are outgrowths of the jawbone, covered by outgrowths of the beak. Nobody ever claimed this entirely modern bird is transitional between modern birds and toothed birds. Birds with real teeth existed earlier. Try Aberratiodontus or Yanornis or Sinornis or good old Ichthyornis, Hesperornis, and Archaeopteryx (possibly depending, for the latter, on your definition of "bird").

Would’nt it still need to make the leap from bird to reptile? Feathers to skin?

Uh, wrong way around.

Toothy beaks prove nothing.

When it comes to unfalsifiable creation, that’s a tautology.

Yeah, but where’s your missing link between the crocoduck and the crocodile, hmm?
