Yeah....but a fish is still a fish as time goes by.


Seriously, they may have demonstrated how one type of fish turned into another type of fish, but I don't see a fish turning into a dog or a giraffe. If this process is actually true, why isn't it still happening, or why haven't we found any real examples of intermediate species anywhere in the fossil record (that I'm aware of). Something that truly appears to be a cross between one species and another. Like the Creature from the Black Lagoon.....

You can imagine seraphims and cherubims, but your imagination is so limited that you can't imagine a fish evolving into a frog over millions of years?

To help you to become aware:

Plagiarized Errors and Molecular Genetics. Anatomic similarities are confirmed by DNA similarities and copying errors.
Evidence of Evolutionary Transitions. There really is evidence out there.
Macroevolution: Evidence. Great info & links from the U. of Illinois website.
Transitional Vertebrate Fossils FAQ. Yes, transitional fossils exist.
Fossil whale with legs. Land animal to whale transitional fossil.
Feathered Dinosaurs.
Archaeopteryx. Reptile-to- bird transitional fossil.

It *is*.

> or why haven't we found any real examples of intermediate species anywhere in the fossil record

We *have*. Virtually every species is a transitional form from one to another.

One such thread:
Pakicetus
Ambulocetus
Rodhocetus
Procetus

Perhaps you are looking in the wrong place. If you want to find intermediate species maybe you should try watching the westminster dog show.

The toy class may soon enough (2,000 years?) be a different species from the large breed classes. They already face great difficulty interbreeding, which is one aspect of speciation.)

Perhaps you are being militantly unaware. We have something like the fossil record we would expect, given our models of geography and evolution. Will the catch be that none of those morphologically and chronologically in-between things are intermediate species as you define the term?
