Some of you may remember a new species of rodent being discovered a few years ago ... for sale, dead, in a Laos food market.
And then it was discovered to be a species thought long extinct (like the coelecanth).
http://creationontheweb.com picked this up, particularly the term "Lazarus effect", and drew the obvious conclusion ...
The ‘Lazarus effect’: rodent ‘resurrection’!

The answer: there never were any ‘millions of years’.
You can’t get a historical record by looking at rocks; you need an actual historical record—an eyewitness account of history. The Bible claims to be just such an account—from the very beginning of time. Does it tell us of something that happened in history which might explain the ‘Lazarus effect’?

But it would be no surprise to creationists, who know from the Bible that the universe is only around 6,000 years old anyway, and that all the different kinds of land animals and birds—including dinosaurs—moved out from the Ark and inhabited the earth around 4,500 years ago.

Awesome. I'm convinced. I'm just saddened that so many good minds are being wasted on studying living animals, fossils, DNA etc and trying to build up phylogenetic trees which are obviously in error.
