no again, the your religion of evolutionism REQUIRES something called intermediates or transitionals....therefore, anything that be placed in the pre-conceived notion of ‘descent with modification’ will be DECLARED a intermediate or transitional....you fall for it all the time....kinda sad really, but, whatever makes you feel good and sleep at night...

First of all, the theory of evolution is no more a "religion" than is Newton's theory of gravity, or Einstein's theory of relativity, quantum theory or Heisenberg's uncertainty principle.
All are strongly confirmed and integral to the overall scientific enterprise.
All would be strongly defended if attacked on religious grounds.
But none are perfect and all could be falsified by new evidence or better explanations.

That makes science, including evolution, the opposite of religion.

Second, a definition:

Since fossil records are chock full of such forms, and since DNA comparisons of living species shows degrees of relationship, the obvious conclusion is, those fossils fit the definition of "transitional forms".

Finally, here's the key fact: there is no other confirmed scientific hypothesis which could remotely explain the evidence discovered to date.
So any opposite explanations must fall into the category of religion, not science.

The key point here to remember is that you personally are not required to believe a single word of natural-science explanations.
Reject them all, if you wish, or reject some and accept others, whatever turns you on.
But what you must never do is call your own beliefs, especially your religious beliefs by the name "science".
Your beliefs cannot legally be taught to public school children as "science", they can only be taught in classes on religion.

Stick to that, and everyone is cool with it.
