Creation Moment 8/6/2019 - Evolutionary Ventriloquist

But thou, O LORD, shalt laugh at them; Psalm 59:8

"Scientists put words in the mouths of dead animals, as if they are dummies telling stories about their evolution.

When you watch a skilled puppeteer, you can almost suspend disbelief that the puppet is really talking with a personality all its own. But when the ventriloquist is done with his dummy and tosses it into the storage case for the next show, the illusion is over. Evolutionists are like that with fossils.

World’s smallest fossil monkey found in Amazon jungle (Science Daily). Dead monkeys tell no tales, but Darwinians tell them about fossils. These Darwin worshipers from Duke U and from a Peruvian university picked up this monkey fossil from the Amazon jungle, and said, an “18-million-year-old creature discovered in Peru was no bigger than a hamster; helps fill a gap in the record of monkey evolution.” But it was pure monkey. It was small, to be sure, but so is the pygmy marmoset in Africa. It’s the complexity, not the size, that should determine questions of origins. The evolutionists forced this monkey into their timeline, held up its skull, and made its mouth move like it was saying, “I’m a missing link!”

Jurassic fossil shows how early mammals could swallow like their modern descendants (Science Daily). One can examine a fossil and learn about its anatomy and physiology, just as one could examine ventriloquist dummy and determine what expressions it could make. A shrew-like animal named Microdonton [little teeth] described by evolutionists at the University of Chicago had a hyoid bone, which is interesting, because that indicates it probably could swallow – a complex process in mammals. This “pristine, beautiful fossil” is silent, though, on where it got its hyoid bone. With the confidence of a showman, Zhe-Xi Luo, senior author of a “study” picks it up and tells us what it is really saying:
“Now we are able for the first time to address how the crucial function for swallowing evolved among early mammals from the fossil record,” Luo said. “The tiny hyoids of Microdocodon are a big milestone for interpreting the evolution of mammalian feeding function.”
But there was no evolution evident in the fossil. The paper in Science does not call Microdonton a transitional form, but an animal with a mosaic of features – including a fully-modern-looking hyoid bone."
