"For all I know, this entire web page could be a "creation"
considering the source. Plus the FACT that there are no fossils showing transitional progression when there should be clear evidence of it."


Then go to a library and read Patterson's book where he says there are transitional fossils.

" "In several animal and plant groups, enough fossils are known to bridge the wide gaps between existing types. In mammals, for example, the gap between horses, asses and zebras (genus Equus) and their closest living relatives, the rhinoceroses and tapirs, is filled by an extensive series of fossils extending back sixty-million years to a small animal, Hyracotherium, which can only be distinguished from the rhinoceros-tapir group by one or two horse-like details of the skull. There are many other examples of fossil 'missing links', such as Archaeopteryx, the Jurassic bird which links birds with dinosaurs (Fig. 45), and Ichthyostega, the late Devonian amphibian which links land vertebrates and the extinct choanate (having internal nostrils) fishes. . ." ("Evolution" (1978, Routledge & Kegan Paul Ltd., (p131-133) )

That's what I'm looking for, yet for some reason, there isn't one photo of them. Nor information of where these can be viewed. All we have is a "theory" Plus, another statement in which he says "there aren't any because". I want visible evidence, not theory and excuses.

Too much to ask for I guess. So, until I find actual PROOF, I will maintain There is no fossil record showing transitional evolution of ANY species. Which is exactly were I was 3 days ago when I posted, "there is no fossil record of transitional evolution".
