"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."

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?!!!

We can usually out-debate any creationist on about 10 different planes. But where's the fun in that? It's like playing a video-game on level 1. Even libs usually pose more of a challenge.

B: Gould never proposed "Hopeful Monster Theory". HMT is a caricature of the ideas of Richard Goldschmidt.

There are no facts too simple and easily checked that a creationist can't screw up.

B: Give an example of circular logic. We'll start there.
