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.

I put them in the wrong order so they're all "Poof!" gone and no more need be said? Shall I guess you can keep saying there is no evidence so long as no one can make you see?

Already answered you on that one, but you're determined to stay in the slow-learner class by not reading what has been posted already.

Now, almost all of the data you have been reviewing [But not you, Timmy! How many of the preceding links did you even click on?] were unknown in Darwin's day. For all the evidence that they did have, there were a lot of holes. Darwin et al. fearlessly predicted based upon the already-outlined tree of life that certain kinds of "intermediates" would be found. Precambrian life of any sort, legged whales, legged sirenians, ape-human intermediates, etc. Other intermediates, amphibian-bird mixes for instance, violate the presumed evolutionary scenario and are not predicted.

This prediction is a certain kind of inference. Creationists who believed that God on certain days created certain "kinds" scoffed then and denied that such an inference from the then-available data was valid at all. They began to mockingly ask for "the missing link," which is exactly how you, who bill yourself as a scientist, opened the discussion.

The history since then has filled in gap after gap in the areas where evolution says the intermediates have to have existed. The people who will not make certain inferences because God will burn them in Hell for so doing still will not make them. Nevertheless, the ground under their feet has shrunk to nothing compared to the situation in 1859.
