Discovered: the missing link that solves a mystery of evolution

Scientists have made one of the most important fossil finds in
history: a missing link between fish and land animals, showing how
creatures first walked out of the water and on to dry land more than
375 million years ago.
Palaeontologists have said that the find, a crocodile-like animal
called the Tiktaalik roseae and described today in the journal Nature,
could become an icon of evolution in action - like Archaeopteryx, the
famous fossil that bridged the gap between reptiles and birds.
As such, it will be a blow to proponents of intelligent design, who
claim that the many gaps in the fossil record show evidence of some
higher power.

No, no, you have it all wrong. See, God put those fossils there to fool
the scientists, unbelievers and other asundry sinners. They are like God's
Easter Eggs!
