Go read what DARWIN said about the absence of transitional forms in the fossil record, on more than one occasion. Or do you disagree with Darwin's assesment of the problem of the lack of transitional forms in the fossil record?

B: Darwin was correct. In has time, there were no bona-fide transtaionals identified as such. On the other hand since Darwin's day, Paleontologist have Identified more than 300,000 fossil species, where as in Darwin's time only a few thousand were identified. I can understand where Jehu is comming from. After all, he's chained his mind to a holy book written thousands of years ago, and figures I am beholden to what Darwin wrote 150 years ago. Sorry. It doesn't work that way. Before Darwin died, a number of transitionals were found including the famous Archeaopteryx. It was also regonized that Basilosaurus which was originally identified as a big lizard by Owen, was actually a whale. A whale with very small legs. Had Darwin lived long enough to write another edition of OOS, no doubt he would've mentioned them. LOL. Jehu, your argument has to be one of the silliest arguments I've heard.
