Pshaw, Bill. You are ignoring the bottom of the curve of Occam's razor, where, in order to simplify, things are lumped together incorrectly. Thus a devout Creationist can claim that all the distinctions and comparisons of fossil record experts are no good--it is all God's show. No, there's a simple explanation, no? But to those who engage in real observation it might appear not only simple of text but even simpler of mind.

The corrollary to Occam is that differences should not be ignored in order to over-simplify. Otherwise you are bucking Einstein's lower limit ("...but no simpler". And who wants to mess with him???

Pishtush. Things you can kick (which I very much agree are real) are not going to think much about your motives, intend revenge, or dream up plans to stop being kicked.
