    Cool!

    Wait. Same species as has been known for how many years, and known to have the "dino feet", but because it lacked a toe it makes it a link in evolution, rather than it's own species?

    *Sigh*

    Here's a thought, why not, instead of using species that happen to have similar characteristics to other species (OMFG! Humans and sheep have eyes!) You try explaining the existence of species that have no correlation to other species, such as starfish?

    Just a thought. You know, stretch your mind, focus on the unknown and less focused on areas of this debate rather then the hashed out same old rhetoric we always do.

    But what do I know, I'm just an idiotic God-fearing, Bible thumping hillbilly with no brains because he doesn't accept the "truth" of evolution

    (Edited for spelling, so we can avoid the "He really [i]IS[/i] and idiot! He can't spell!" part of this oh so certain to become a debate thread)

    Oh, and:

    See especially this link:

    [QUOTE]Similarly, starfish outwardly have radial symmetry, but we classified them as bilateral. So Common Descent predicts that their group (echinoderms) had bilateral ancestors, and such a fossil has been found. [/QUOTE]

    Also when doing evolutionary trees, one looks at the progrssion of specific traits (eyes, vertibra, etc) as opposed to what the species looks like on the outside. How else would you relate a turnicate to the rest of the anilmal kingdom? Also don't forget the construct of species is a human invention and doesn't really exist in the big picture.

    Echinoderms on a whole bear little resemblance to any other creature out there, yes, they have radial symmetry, but their movment is more closly related to hydrolics than muscle. Ever desect one? Truely a facsinating creature.

    And truely unique.

    Not unique. There are lots of Echinoderms out there. There are also evidence of their evolution from bilateral ancestors. did you read the links?
  • JackNJackN <font color=#99FF99>Lightwave Alien</font>
    So anyways...

    Birds with Dino feet...

    :p
  • A2597A2597 Fanboy
    yes I did, let me re-phrase, echinoderms, on a whole, are unique from other species.
