Chris Doyle, Jonathan Wells just did a video that mentioned the Ida fiasco:

Yes, Bornagain77, I suspect that Jimpithecus is appealing to the claim that there must be “overwhelming evidence” in the fossil record to support evolution. Since 1993, there has been no new scientific evidence that would require the chapter entitled “The Fossil Problem” to be re-written. Unless he wanted to add a bit about Ida and how it reflects on evolutionists’ increased desperation levels!Chris Doyle

Jimpithecus,
I noticed you stated this,,,
'It is too bad he got most of the fossil record stuff wrong.'
Do you care to elaborate on what he got wrong?
notes:
Here are four pages of quotes, by leading experts, on the fossil record here:
Creation/Evolution Quotes: Fossil Record #1 - Stephen E. Jones

The Fossil Record - Don Patton - in their own words - video

Here is another page of quotes by leading paleontologists on the true state of the fossil record:

When I first read this book, I was very impressed by the fact that he took what has become almost rote within the biological community and questioned it in ways that it had not been questioned in years. It is too bad he got most of the fossil record stuff wrong.Jimpithecus

I was lucky enough to receive this for Christmas and started reading it recently. Based on what I've read so far, I would urge all those who have not read this book, evolutionist or otherwise, to give it a go. For those of us who reject evolution, there are some excellent arguments, and economically expressed familiar arguments. For those evolutionists who want to understand the non-religious basis for rejecting evolution, this is a great place to start.Chris Doyle
