PROOF evolution is a bunch of bull *!%#
look at the colecanth fish, its %##!ing 380 million years old and it still loks the same. and the earth was pangea 300 million years ago. therefore the geology was different so it had to addapt and put up with that evolution bull#%%%. but it didnt happen...

Big deal. Now find a fossil of a modern rabbbit in a Precambrian stratum and you've got something. Until you find something like that, though, your observation about coelecanths in meaningless.
Besides, it is quite possible that other fish/amphibians/reptiles/etc. HAVE evolved from coelecanth, but that doesn't mean that the parent species necessarily had to die out.

Too bad what he's saying isn't even true
"Although now represented by only two living species, as a group the coelacanths were once very successful with many genera and species that left an abundant fossil record from the Devonian to the end of the Cretaceous period, at which point they apparently suffered a nearly complete extinction, and past which point no fossils are known. It is often claimed that the coelacanth has remained unchanged for millions of years but in fact the living species and even genus are unknown from the fossil record. However, some of the extinct species, particularly those of the last known fossil coelacanth, the Cretaceous genus Macropoma, closely resemble the living species. The most likely reason for the gap is the taxon having become extinct in shallow waters. Deep water fossils are only rarely lifted to levels where paleontologists can recover them, making most deep water taxa disappear from the fossil record. This situation is still under investigation by scientists."

Of course, even if it was correct, this wouldn't disprove evolution.
Lessee... Earth was 70%+ water 380 million years ago... Earth is 70%+ water now...
Fish of the family Coelacanthidae lived in the water, so how the world looked would make no difference to them.
Fish of the family Latimeriidae live in the water...
Oh, they're from different families... guess you should've checked the facts before spouting your bullshit... :)
Continental drift has nothing to do with evolution. We might say that the modern continents "evolved," but that's just lazy on our part.
300 million years ago, they had a frickin' uuge shark, the Megalodon. (Frankly, I'm glad some species have gone extinct.) Because this shark and our modern great white look similar, differing only in size, you would claim that "evilution" doesn't exist. But you would still be wrong.
Dang,, and I thought they were convinced the world is only 6000 years old,,,,,, now I'm really confused!
Wait, 300 million years ago? But you're denying evolution? That's a new one.
Old-Earth creationists, then?
Actually, I think you'll find that the modern coelecanth is not the same as its fossil ancestors.
Y'all are wrong about the deep sea, it's an incredibly fragile ecosystem. Our modern anglerfish, for example, look ancient and primordial as a response to the environment, but they're a quite recent evolution- things down there are very vulnerable to changes in surface environment.
Confused?
So were we! You can find all of this, and more, on Fundies Say the Darndest Things!
