That is really neat. I love frogs and science. However I do not agree with the thought that it is 2 million years old because I do not believe the earth has been around that long. I hope that this discovery leads to some really cool things.
P.S. That is a really tiny frog!

  not sure you can "Love" science, when you dont believe in one of its most basic findings. Its like disputing the age of a tree after seeing the tree's trunk, and the rings.

    I believe in inteligent design by God and I don't believe that the world was created that long ago (Based on the timeline in the Bible supplied by the lineage of families). Just because I don't agree on the set timing of things doesn't mean that I can't be fasinated by most other aspects of science.
