Dozens of fossils of an ancient loon-like creature that some say is the [a href="http://www.sciam.com/article.cfm?chanID=sa003&articleID=00073E23-CDE6-1491-8DE683414B7F0000"]missing link in bird evolution[/a] have been discovered in northwest China.
The remains of 40 of the nearly modern amphibious birds, so well-preserved that some even have their feathers, were found in Gansu province, researchers report in Friday's issue of the journal Science. Previously only a single leg of the creature, known as Gansus yumenensis, had been found.
(Obviously they were planted there by the [a href="http://venganza.org/"]Flying Spaghetti Monster[/a] to test the convictions of the faithful!)
LOL. Ok, but as convincing as that sounds, keep in mind that a true believer might very well argue their god placed fossils in the ground 6-10 thousand years ago to baffle the minds of humankind. In fact, that was a fairly popular argument from the Christian right a few years back. After all, their god works in mysterious ways!!
But as you imply, of course, most of the arguments fundies use to support the theory of creation can also be used to support the theory of the FSM (blessed be His name).
