Have you read Harun Yahya about that creature? He quotes from scientific magazines:
Quote:
Prominent scientific journals such as Science and Nature and the world-renowned TV station BBC announced the recent developments as follows: "It has been discovered that the fossil, which is unearthed in the Middle East and estimated to have lived 220 million years ago, is covered with feathers, has a wishbone just like Archaeopteryx and modern birds do, and there are hollow shafts in its feathers. THIS INVALIDATES THE CLAIMS THAT ARCHAEOPTERYX IS THE ANCESTOR OF BIRDS, because the fossil discovered is 75 million years older than Archaeopteryx. This means that A REAL BIRD WITH ALL ITS CHARACTERISTIC FEATURES ALREADY EXISTED 75 MILLION YEARS BEFORE THE CREATURE WHICH WAS ALLEGED TO BE THE ANCESTOR OF BIRDS."

Do you people really read Harun Yahya before you pass judgement on his views? Apparently you don't.
Nevertheless, I believe that some creationists, among them being Harun Yahya, are wrong that there was no evolution. There was a kind of it. But it could not and did not emanate from random mutations but rather from consciously placed genetic information. But the materialistic philosophical assumption is that God cannot be allowed to exist and therefore we cannot accept that the new genetic info was consciously placed. "It must have happened randomly, you know. Those who do not agree with our philosophy are unscientific. Any scientist who dares to disagree with us will be ridiculed and castigated as unscientific. We are the authorities of the day. We rule the roost."
