Hello CTD,
{snippage}
As for the rest of your argument, I'll ignore it because it is really irrelevant.
Tempted as I was to return the favour, I decided against it. I'm emailing the address you sent - can only anticipate entertainment value here. This is a Glen Morton assertion, after all.

Evolution does not happen to every branch of every species, thus having "living fossils" does not contradict evolution: rather it is just more evidence that evolution is not a directed process but one of reaction and opportunity.
You left out assumption.

Dawkins likened it to a drunkards walk, staggering along a path, and no clear goal.

I know what I expect from creationists: failure to deal with the reality that evolution has occurred no matter what you think these pictures and special instances mean.
Oops! My bad. Here's assumption after all. Sorry 'bout that.

Seemingly immune to the pressures of natural selection, the fish changed little (except in size and possibly in habitat) over the eons. Creationists have used this as evidence against the theory of Evolution, but most observers see the coelacanth as a startling, and loveable (Old Four Legs) messenger from the past.
? But hey, as long as most observers are enamoured, what's wrong with a little evidence?

And what are evolutionists, if not creatures of habit?

The same group of scientists, trying to justify their previous action, then submitted an article to Nature, claiming prior discovery of the Indonesian coelacanths. While there had been contemporaneous reports of the earlier find, the scientists included a photograph of "their" fish which was an obvious fake: a Photoshop makeover of Mark Erdman's own well known coelacanth picture! Shades of the famous Piltdown Man hoax. In fairness to the scientists, it was not clear which if any of them knew their picture was a fraud. None accepted responsibility.
