No, it is not. It is only the fossilized remains of a lemur-like, now extinct creature. "It was a small, tailed, probably tree-climbing, and now extinct primate -- from a kind created on Day 6 of Creation Week."

Ida has opposable thumbs. So what? Lemurs today have opposable thumbs, as do all primates. This is no evidence of evolution, but for similarity in design for similar creatures.

The fossil's talus bone is described as "the same shape as in humans." Yet there are "other differences in the ankle structure."

If evolution were true, there would never need to be a search for the "missing link." There would be multitudes of transitional forms all over the globe. The fact that evolutionists feel a need to trumpet what they describe as a missing link (and is not), is merely another concessionary nail in the coffin of a bankrupt theory.

The preceding is a brief and edited synthesis of Answers in Genesis' response to the hyped representation of the fossil find.
