Thanks! As for "Dr." Morris, to be fair unlike some other creationists he does hold a legitimate Ph.D., in Geological Engineering (from the University of Oklahoma). I guess if you needed help building an earthwork dam or something, he might be your man; anything to do with actual geology or paleontology, not so much.

I was just referred to this site by a friend and I am delighted. You do a fine job of deflating “Dr.” Morris. I commend your efforts and hope a whole lot of folks who sit on the fence about this issue will listen to your comments and take heed. Alas…the creationists seem to be completely unable to change, no matter the evidence before them.

The argument that Morris is making is equivalent to saying that because I can’t find John Hancock’s feather pen, the American Revolution didn’t happen. When all of the evidence is on one side and it all builds up to a solid conclusion, the opponents can only cast doubt.

Thanks! Yeah, was about 99% sure it was. Even if it wasn't a teleost it was clearly a ray finned fish and not an agnathan.

Great article Troy. Yes, fish is definately a teleost, and a highly derived one at that (to judge from the mouth). I’m not a fish person so can’t name the family, but maybe someone else can.
