I still contend if Evolution is the actual process by which all life became then the whole gambit should be continuing to play out over and over including if a species goes extinct then it should be replicated through the exact same process as which it originally came into existence as the original primary elements are still there and haven't gone extinct and there is still an environment that supports life and growth so at various parts of our Earth there should be a live and existing specimen of this thing that they unearthed and found and are trying to figure some way to make it fit in.
It does seem funny, that when this question is posed, all of the "logical, superior, free thinking, enlightened ones" simply have a "logic shutdown", and the spin begins.
Most often with the usual "look in the mirror" rubbish.
