So it had crocodillian carachteristics but not human? All we need now is a crocodile that walked upright and/or had opposable thumbs. The tiktaalik is hardly a missing link. There are lots of amphibious animals that may have evolved from aquatic animals as a result of drought.

So a transition from fish to amphibians (that is, at the taxonomic level of "class") is not a transitional form? Move the goalposts much?

Is it also no big deal if an amphibian becomes a reptile? If a reptile becomes a primitive, egg-laying mammal? If a primitive mammal becomes a placental mammal? If a placental tree-dweller becomes a lemur-like primate? If a primate becomes a monkey? If a monkey becomes an ape? If an ape becomes a man? None of those are any harder than gill-breathing fish to lung-breathing, land-living, tetrapod.

Actually I never move the goalposts. I don't have to since nobody has gotten near the end zone yet. Fish to amphibians to reptiles to egg laying mammals is still not a link from fish to man. There are still aquatic animals in this century that adapt to drought conditions by becoming more amphibious and I've yet to meet a human that lays eggs, much less hang from trees on its days off, unless you want to discuss the welfare class.

There is nothing in the whole Darwin *theory* to support the fish-to-man theory, no matter how many times they "move the goalposts."

I am seriously beginning to think the YEC idea of a "transitional" is having an animal morph (in a matter of seconds) into a totally different critter.

Based on the total lack of science literacy exhibited by the creationist posters, they must have gotten their biology education from old Michael Jackson videos.
