However, we all know (assuming you are, indeed, knowledgeable in this area) there is nothing in the fossil record or visible in nature.

Appeals to "what we all know" so often are just begging the question.

1. We don't all know that there's nothing in the fossil record.
2. We don't all know there's nothing visible in nature.
3. Some of us even think that there are 29+ Lines of Evidence Pointing to Evolution.

I was just wondering if you had found something unbeknownst to the rest of us. Evidently not.

I think you're confusing being pig-ignorant with being "knowledgeable."

The death of evolutionary theory has already occurred, the protests of the Seattle Post Intelligencer notwithstanding. Like most major philosophical shifts, it takes several decades before it becomes common wisdom.

My gosh. I'm going to choke I'm laughing so hard. You are going to prove transitionals and the first thing I see is dinosaur to bird transtions. Let me wipe away the tears. You don't give us the easy fish to mammal to primate to man, which should be obvious in the fossil record (but of course, isn't). No, you bring up a hoot on the outrageous dinosaur to bird theory. Vade, it couldn't happen. It's in the lungs, dude. You guys are always a theory looking for evidence, rather than the other way around.

Look, my friend, if Darwin was right, you should be able to prove it via the fossils, without these outlandish theories. Just show us the proof. Darwin said it would be everywhere.

OK, I looked at the speciation link. Give me a break. Plants. Oh, and fruitflies bombarded with radiation which turned into . . . mutated FRUITFLIES. I'm CONVINCED! Everyone. Vade Retro has done it! He's proved Darwin's theory. Who can argue with such overwhelming proof? As sure as gravity, it is.

But seriously, it shows that we should bother to look at your sources to remind us how weak your argument (and evidently, logic) is. Just keep saying it, Vade. I believe. I believe. I believe.
