You don't believe that Noah took that little critter on the arc with him and then dropped him off in Cyprus later? You really are a skeptic, huh?

This doesn't really prove it. When the tuberculosis virus evolved to become resistant to our early treatments, that was proof. This certainly does give information and new evidence for scientists to study. It helps them form timetables and ideas on the flow of evolution, but the scientific term evolution was proven a long time ago.

There are 2 parts to evolution.
1. Random chance + natural selection = the well documented and understood field of micro evolution.
2. The origins of species, or the creation of unique genetic information has no accepted or even credible theory.
Darwin's theory of natural selection cannot explain all of evolution, since to start the process, you need something to select. To start the process requires a significant amount of biology to be in place, and there is no scientifically accepted theory how it this biology happen.

There is more proof about evolution, then religious theories. I`ts a matter of personal choice on what to believe . You shouldn`t pass judgment on people. When we die, it`s possible that all life on this planet may or may not find the answer.

A living fossil mouse? Interesting, but hardly proof of evolution. When something evolves, it ceases to exist as it is replaced by the evolved model.
A living fossil would disprove evolution. What they have discovered is a species of mouse believed to be extinct that evidently still exists, not a mouse that has evolved. An interesting find, none-the-less.

I don't think when they say "new species" they mean it just recently evolved. The phrase in the article "living fossil" and notation that it was endemic to the area mean it was recently discovered, which is unusual in an area so long populated by humans.
Cute little mouse, though.

Making up a theory of evolution based on a few "proofs"(normal skeletons, fossils, and animals), is like trying to make a 10 megapixel image based on a few known pixels, a 1000,000 piece jigsaw puzzle with a few pieces.

I love Yahoo! They're always so quick to put out articles about evolution

Who needs more proof? Creationists must be punch drunk with the amount of body blows science is dealing their ideology.

Lies. Yahoo! News is clearly part of an evil Darwinist plot to discredit the church.
Haha, just kidding. Interesting article.
