Quote:Yet a snake is still a snake, it didn't evolve into a mammal or a fish it's still a snake. Its also just as plausible that this fossil is simply an extinct member of the snake family.

But, dude, you don't see the implication? A snake is no longer a snake if it has legs.


There is a fossil record that shows that this species is in an intermediary stage of evolution...


There was a trait within that species that was expressed as legs, that species is no longer around, and we now have snakes and salamanders...


It's kind of a big deal moving from no legs to legs, now imagine hundreds of millions of years, and you can extrapolate from there... At least most scientists do.
