Adnan Oktar, a creationist and rival of Richard Dawkins, has offered trillions of pounds to any scientists who can show proof of evolution.
Mr Oktar, 52, who successfully campaigned for Mr Dawkins' official website to be banned in Turkey, has said he will give 10 trillion Turkish lira, roughly equal to £4.4trn "to anyone who produces a single intermediate-form fossil demonstrating evolution."

Show me the money first?
Let’s see what’s in the middle of that wad.
Way to Go, ADNAN!!! There is NO MISSING LINK. ....or LINKS.
Just for fun, let me say that it’s a wacked out approach to science to disallow a theory because your literal interpretation of your religious book seems to prohibit it.
Olbermann? Devolution, not evolution.
Over my dead body!
You see that’s what we call in law a counter offer.
Oh. Yeah. You blend!
Frankly, I'd be at a loss to determine exactly what fossil doesn't meet that definition. Or perhaps he wants a chicken with teeth or some such??
We can do that and have done it. Chickens still have genes for teeth.
Better than this traditional exhibit of various human skulls from various locations and times are the limestone/shale fossil formations in England (I have long ago forgotten their names).
We learned about them in “stratigraphy” and “paleontology” in the 60’s.
They show, in a large vertical/layered series of formations, how an ammonoid (a shelled creature similar to our chambered Nautilus of today) evolved over millions of years in the same region.
Also, I found fossils near the old Capital Center in Largo, Md. where a Cretaceous formation was underlying a Paleocene (60-65 Million) formation. In the Cretaceous formation there was one species of shark with a tooth shape I had never seen before, plus turtle, fish, Mosasaur, crocodile, and ammonoid fossils (shells, teeth, vertebrae, bones etc.
Oh, did I leave out the fact that my daughter found a dinosaur toe-bone, too, all in the same cretaceous formation (confirmed by the Smithsonian Institution). It all changed during the Eocene period when all we had was about 5 different species of shark, Ostrea (oyster shells), some clam shells (Cullculae Gigantis), and worm tubes.
yes, I’ll take my reward in US dollars and some gold
There are plenty.
SHOW ME THE PROCESS....step by step, baby ....you can’t becaue the EVOLUTION can’t hopscotch....it has to be VERY PRECISE......
You're on.

Are you pretending that one of these specimens is THE “missing link” between two others?
Its not missing.
The links are all there.
And they confirm the evidence we see in DNA.
