Not transitional.

Thought experiment for you: if birds did evolve from dinosaurs, what would a transitional look like?

Integrity experiment for you: If you were challenged to compose a straight forward, non loaded hypothetical question which did not contain an assumed false premise, would you be able to do so and, if so, what would it look like?

Good question, who could say.

Roughly, how many transitional species would there in the direct lineage between the common ancestor and the first bird? How many divergent species would there be that lead to a dead end and don't actually become birds? If they're not birds or dinosaurs, just what are they? How many fossilized species would we expect to find of any of these transitionals?

If all animal kinds were created by one supreme being so that they were capable of immense variation within their kind, would any animals share characteristics that that were similar to characteristics of animals of another kind?
