"put bluntly: everywhere you look among the living and the dead, there they are."
'Blunt' ain't science. There are no transitional species, if there were, the Darwinsits would be lifting them up high and trumpeting to the world that they've discovered the "Holy Grail of Evolution". When it's a myth , and you know it's a myth, only one reason remains for propagating the lie.... it's an anti-Christian, anti-religion movement fueled mainly by the liberals, atheists, socialists and communists of the world.
Darwinism is dead, it cannot and will not ever be proven. All that supports this ridiculous 'science' is one lie after another after another. But I have no illusions, when Darwinism finally falls on it's slithering face and its head is crushed by the Truth, it will be replaced by another insideous assault on Christianity, some other lie which will also meet with its doom.
pfft.
EVERY SPECIES IS TRANSITIONAL.
simple gel electrophoresis analysis, let alone a full individual genetic decryption, validates my statement.
add in known rates of random mutation, even without shifiting environmental pressures, and speciation on the strictly genetic level is inevitable.
shifting environmental pressures of the past are well recorded. though we cannot precisely predict which way the environmental pressures will shift, we can quite confidently predict that they WILL shift, and that they will, as in the past, contribute to acceleration of speciation through adaptive selection (and maladaptive deselection).
what remains of your post is mere Luddite garbage, the usual slanders and exaggeration, hatred, fear, ostrich-like denial, and jealousy. I've no reply for such.

They're reported in the science journals very regularly, and show up in the newspapers pretty damned often too, son. It's not our fault you have your eyes tightly closed.

This has been swatted down so many times that I'm surprised that even the most stalwart creationists still try to advance it.
