Perhaps one should refer to the evolution of whales. If I recall correctly from a documentary on Discovery/NGC, lots of the (transitional!) fossils came from Egypt. Muslim fossils must be more convincing to them than western fossils

They would just say, "Oh these aren't intermediate fossils, they are just two separate organisms that died out long ago". They won't understand what our friend above (oops it was you) said, that "ALL fossils are transitional".

I'm getting some fruit-loop right now saying about the tracks in Poland destroys the Tiktaalik "story".
So, are these tracks evidence of an earlier, bigger and more "evolved" tetrapod?

As you were. I understand what these tracks are all about now. http://www.rationalskepticism.org/post240427.html?p237618#p237618
