It is not news. Paleontology has claimed for years that many modern species appeared before dinosaurs so they lived for some time together until the latter were exti... oops, until they couldn't pay their fare on the arc. For example, crocodiles, sharks, a number of insects.
Moreover, we seem to forget that evolution could move at different pace in different part of the world. Like Australia abounds in marsupials not found anywhere else and doesn't have indigenous higher mammals and primates.
Don't you call it "development of the theory"? Any theory is liable to change when new discoveries are made. It is only religion that desires to keep everything as it was a thousand years before. Perhaps because at that time the church was a virtual ruler of the world and clerics were among the richest potentates of the time?
At least there IS reasoning, not just reiterating "modern science can't explain it, so the universal answer is God created it in such a way."
After that statement I would call it a day and admit there was no call to start the thread at all.
