Thanks Jenny but all I found was a lot of psuedo-science babble about why there aren't transitional fossils. Oh, they say there are but offer no specifics because any "example" they produced could easily be discredited. Just take a look around; if evolution were true there should be all kinds of transitional species between humans and apes or where ever we supposedly came from. There are none. That is just ONE example. Of course there should be all kinds of transitional species all over the place. The earth should be crawling with them. In fact, there should be no species, just zillions of transitional creatures. I am so thankful for intelligent design. Why do some people hang on so fiercely to a theory that is an absolute joke? The more you think about it, the more absurd and and laughable evolution gets. And the laugh is on you. Every member of every species is different. Everyone is indeed transitional, and at the level you think. Obviously, some mutations are self selected (via crib-death, spontaneous abortions, and the hordes of other things that cause children to be born deformed or dead). Despite some peoples protestations, evolution is still occurring as we speak. Here are some papers that show that somethings have indeed evolved on very short timescales.

Speciation-Faq2
As far as I know, these contain references that have not been refuted by any intelligent designer, or creationist. Each opposing theory has to show that they've described the evidence better than evolution to be considered. I don't believe they've ever done that.

A discussion of speciation requires a definition of what constitutes a species
Here we go again. Every time I bother to read one of these links, these scientists want to redefine the words involved. Last time it was "theory". A species is a species is a species, same thing with theory, and it doesn't matter what "is" is! Liberal doublespeak at it's best!

The question is not speciation (although evolutionists even debate what speciation really is) but the creation of increased complexity. Whether you call a finch with a long beak and one with a short beak different species does not matter a whit when it comes to evolution. Evolution is about one species descending from a less complex ancestor. None of the examples cited there show any increased complexity or really any big difference between these so called different species.

Every member of every species is different. Everyone is indeed transitional, But of course we cannot find the bones for these transitions because when the species were evolving they were vacationing in Hawaii according to Stephen Jay Gould. Evolution seems to always happen where no one will see it! Must be a creationist conspiracy at work here. They have been making sure that the bones of no intermediate species would survive by throwing them in volcanoes as soon as the animals die.

It just keeps getting funnier. I keep challenging you to show me a transitional animal and you keep sending me off on wild link chases. Are you unable to just spit it out or do you always answer a simple question with term paper? LOL Let's just cut the BS and get down to business here. Did land animals evolve from sea creatures? Yes? Well, we still have both fish and land animals but where did all the transitional creatures go to??? Hmmm??? The Bible says God created man and the animals to each reproduce "their own kind" and this is what we observe. Evolutional theory says animals don't necessarity reproduce their own kind but that they reproduce all kinds of freaks and the "fittest" survive. This has NEVER been observed; therefore, we have the Bible's teaching as observed fact and the theory of evolution as a fantasy that does not exist outside of an athiest's closed mind.
