elfsOne of the classic creationist canards is the old, "Until someone brings me a fossil of type Y, I have no reason to believe in the transition of X to Z. Where is the Y fossil?" The half-man, half-monkey, or as Congressman Jack King (R-GA) recently demanded, half man, half fish, and half-newt all rolled into one.
Well, if you go to the Biblical view, you'll see that, in the Garden of Eden, the serpent was a very odd thing. It talked, for one thing. For another, after the Fall God curses it to "crawl on your belly and eat the dust," implying that it had limbs of some kind. It probably looked like a Sleestak from Land of the Lost.
Therefore, I have a challenge for Representative Jack King: Until you bring me the fossilized skeleton of a Sleestak, I have no reason to believe the Book of Genesis to be true.
