Archaeopteryx is the premier (and just about the only species) put forth as a "transitional" form. And yet one of the leading experts on birds who IS an evolutionist himself is honest enough to admit "it is a BIRD!" And this labeling game just goes on anyway.

So Feduccia (who is not mainstream, BTW, on the subject of bird evolution) says it's a bird. What has that got to do with it being transitional? It's a bird with several features that all modern birds lack, but which reptiles have. It is therefore transitional.

Creationists are so fond of these idiotic semantic games.

Heck Gould was not considered mainstream with his "Hopeful Monster Theory," but you guys consider him an authority.

"Creationists are so fond of these idiotic semantic games."

You evolutionists have based your entire theory on tautologies, circular logic, and labeling games. You can spank any creationist with obfuscations and meaningless wrangling over biological processes. Nobody loves process as much as those without imagination. Where's the MATH?!!!
