It does not even approach the question of how it began. Its the question of how the kidneys, gills and feathers "just happened" over time that I don't see in the record. Nor does an extrapolation of the record coupled with the current theory make clear to me how anything essential to the survival or function of the creature could have not have been with it from it's first moment of existance. I can imagine cells spontaneously deciding to band together and differentiate into a functioning whole, I just can't do it with a straight face.
Like I said, I'm not a Creationismalist, Evolution as an explanation of life on earth "sola scriptura" just does not seem to me to be as much rational science as a dogma seeking to find ways to trumpet the potential non-existence of God. I still vote for intelligent design and adaptive change over time.
Vaguely? A paleontologist going over the skeletons would enumerate point-for-point morphological similarities essentially all over the body. By the way, the incomplete parts of the skeletons are marked in dotted lines. There aren't that many. You're looking for dodges everywhere. Do you realize how obvious it is? When you ask for evidence of transitional forms, what do you think you're asking for?

I read things like this and realize the writer doesn't care about science but is (needlessly in my view) defending his religion against some vicious undermining attack from Godless Science. God is not the business of science.

The nature and history of the universe is not subject to your vote.
