Resumen de The Fossil Fallacy.
This article comments on the persistence of the creationism argument despite the multifarious evidence supporting evolution. Nineteenth-century English social scientist Herbert Spencer made this prescient observation: "Those who cavalierly reject the Theory of Evolution, as not adequately supported by facts, seem quite to forget that their own theory is supported by no facts at all." Well over a century later nothing has changed. When I debate creationists, they present not one fact in favor of creation and instead demand "just one transitional fossil" that proves evolution. We know evolution happened not because of transitional fossils such as A. natans but because of the converJOURce of evidence from such diverse fields as geology, paleontology, biogeography, comparative anatomy and physiology, molecular biology, JOURetics, and many more.
