Isn't this somewhat akin to evolution?  Or is "diversification" different?

Then why are kangaroos found on the only continent which has kangaroo fossils?
(also ancestors like the giant kangaroo).  Likewise for armadillos,

For science to be truly objective,

1) look at data
2) form theory
3) test theory
4) repeat ad infinitum

Not,

1) look at certain book
2) look at data
3) form theory that does not contradict (1) and least contradicts (2)
4) don't bother testing theory
5) argue ad infinitum
