It is apparent that Darwin lost his faith in the years 1836-39, much of it clearly prior to the reading of Malthus. In order not to hurt the feelings of his friends and of his wife, Darwin often used deistic language in his publications, but much in his Notebooks indicates that by this time he had become a 'materialist' (more or less = atheist).

Effigia was the subject of a Stephen Colbert rant the other night -- how it disproves evolution, yadda yadda -- and BTW, the fossil was dug up by someone called Colbert. Amusing as usual.

Dude, those are rad pics! The old "crocs as living fossils" chestnut is just blown out of the water by finds like these.

As mentioned before, the "Hox Cluster Disintegration" link does not seem to be working correctly...

But the croc illustrations are indeed delicious!
