The Hobbit Revisited

I'm surprised that The Panda's Thumb didn't have something on this yet. This is how science works. This is what you will never see from a creationist, the DI, or any other anti-evolution person or organization. Conclusions in science are always tentative, and you better cross every T and dot every I, because everyone is looking to punch holes in your work.

Prediction: the Creationism and Intelligent Design crowd will spin this as some sort of major setback to evolution. They will also, of course, manage to get every detail of the story wrong in the process. But it's ok to lie as long as you do it for Jesus.
