[Response to report of a 360 million year old lamprey fossil which is very similar to present day lampreys]
Unaltered for 360 million years? Back to the books for evolutionists. Since a lamprey didn't need to evolve this means that humans didn't either. That's what I get out of this.

Oy... yet another fundy who don't know what evolution is all about...

If evolution worked the way this clown thinks it should, there would have been nothing but bacteria, which all evolved into nothing but plants, which all evolved into nothing but dinosaurs, which all evolved into nothing but mammals, which all evolved into nothing but humans -- no other life on the planet at any give time, because it's all advancing to become US.evolution does not work that way , and nobody who understands it ever claimed that it did -- in part because we have many millions of different kinds of life forms even now, most of them doing very well at whatever it is they do, so any changes that do crop up in such creatures tend to be selected against.
I'm guessing that this poster would be selected against passing a science course.

Last I checked Humans don't live in water and don't survive off the same food as Lampreys do. Their needing or not needing to evolve is totally different from pre-Humans who would have been subjected to constant environmental changes that effect their way of life and food supply.
"Very similar" and "identical" are not the same, you twit. More importantly, the rate at which evolution progresses is not constant from species to species - it's greatly dependent on selection pressure.
Confused?
So were we! You can find all of this, and more, on Fundies Say the Darndest Things!
