“They found the missing link. Darwin’s theory is now confirmed. There is no longer good reason to doubt that evolution is true.” Once again, the national media is focused on an ancient fossil find that allegedly confirms Darwin’s theory of evolution beyond a reasonable doubt. Stories about this find have been on the Drudge Report, ABC News, CNN and every other major news program. Mayor Bloomberg dubbed the find an “astonishing breakthrough.” Even Google changed their logo to match the fossil.

The creature was first found in 1983 in Germany and has been dubbed “Ida.” The fossil is remarkably preserved and is dated to 47 million years ago. It is about the size of a cat, has four legs, and has a long tail. Many scientists are heralding it as a clue that will help reveal mysteries surrounding puzzles of early evolution. The story of the fossil find will be shown on History, which is owned by A&E Television Networks. A book is planned as well.
