> The holes are simple enough in "evolution": No transitional forms.

If only you realized just how ridiculous that claim is. It's one of the more blatantly dishonest ones that the more blatantly dishonest creationists tend to make.

> Plate Tectonics is far, far better substantiated--simply because continental drift is occuring on a daily basis.

By your analysis, no, it doesn't. You only have evidence from when readings are made. You have no evidence of *transitional* locations of the continents between readings. You cannot prove that when nobody is looking, the continents don't just quantum tunnel those few parts of a millimeter before the next reading.

When you look at the Zapruder film of the Kennedy assassination, you have no evidence that the car actually moves between one frame and the next... there are no *transitional* frames.

So what? It's a theory!

You are really hurting for arguments when you equate a series of hypothetical biological ancestors with the movement of billions of tons of rock.

What kind of engineer are you, anyway?

This is actually fun, here I am arguing that if you cannot measure it it isn't fact, and an engineer is contending otherwise. Thanks for the laugh.

Have a nice day.
