Happy now?

Very Happy. The additional quote does not show that they've provided good evidence for these so called transitional forms they've been hypothesizing. I'm glad you added even more words.

I will leave it to you and the lurkers to decide whether this changes any meanings.

I believe lurkers can make up their own mind. To me, the evidence ( even with the additional paragraph you added ) does not show evidence at all. It simply shows MORE SPECULATION.

Your links to the Discovery Institute I did not follow. I do science, not apologetics.

BUT YOU DO APOLOGETICS SIR, YOU DO.

BUT YOU DO APOLOGETICS SIR, YOU DO.

You have to go to the eighth definition on a "Define:apologetics" google to get a non-religious meaning, and that definition is from Wikipedia, hence suspect. Apologetics is "defense of religious belief":

• The term apologetics comes from the Greek apologia, which means "defense" or "answer." Apologetics is the task of defending a particular idea or belief system and answering its critics. The origin of the concept of apologetics lies in the beginnings of Christianity. Between the second and fourth century, a number of Christian teachers wrote defenses of Christianity against pagan critics.

• The defense of the Christian faith on intellectual grounds by trained theologians and philosophers.

• A conscious, articulated defense of the claims of the Christian Faith. The two main apologetic methods are classical (evidential) and presuppositional.

• The branch of theology which deals with the defensive facts and proofs of Christianity

• Argumentative defence. That part of theology which tries to show the reasonableness of Christian faith and to refute objections to it.

• an evangelistic approach that is concerned with increasing understanding of Christianity by answering reasonable questions about the faith (Whittaker).

• the branch of theology that is concerned with the defense of Christian doctrines

• Apologetics is the field of study concerned with the systematic defense of a position. Someone who engages in apologetics is called an apologist.The term comes from the Greek word apologia (?πolog?a), meaning the defense of a position against an attack, not from the English word apology, which is exclusively understood as a defensive plea for forgiveness for an action that is open to blame.
