I have never ever seen a lizard lay a birds egg and I doubt I ever will.

Given that evolution does not predict that this would happen (and in fact this happening would present serious problems for evolution), I don't quite understand why you bring it up.

If evolution were real science it would have been with us a lot longer than 125 years to be sure.

Wow. I guess that relativity isn't real science either, nor is anything else that came about since evolution theory, since it wouldn't be more than 125 years older either. Here's a free clue: age does not determine whether or not a theory is scientific.

I have never seen even one transitional form yet.

That's either because you refuse to look or you refuse to accept answers that contradict your worldview.

I have seen a feww skeletons of a bird called archeoptrix ( I know I spelled that wrong), but I think it is an extinct bird.

Yes, well, the labels applied to it by scientists are based upon actual observations of the fossils, not what you "think".

I know the dodo bird is also extinct too.

Yes, it is. It happened as a result of a rapid shift in their environment for which they could not adapt quickly enough. What's your point?

Because a creature once lived and is now extinct does not prove it somehow is a transitional form though

And no one has made this claim. Do you have any other strawmen to offer?

Birds and lizards and humans all have keratin. I would wager it is because they all have a common designer.

That you can define your alleged "designer" to fit within observed facts is not evidence for the existence of your designer.

are you kidding???? Punctuated equilibrium is a big part of "evolution" theory, at least it was the last time I heard.

LOL! No wonder most creationists have such a problem with the theory of evolution if they've been taught this strawman version in school. Sometimes I think not teaching the theory of evolution is better than exposing children to the various strawmen I've heard from several ex-"evolutionists".
