Everything alive right now is a transitional species; but that might be over your head. No ill humour intended either. I think Creationist types need to realize that there are many of us conservatives who believe that evolution (or its basic idea) is fact. We are not stupid people, we are not immoral people. Just the fact that we are conservative should be enough about our character that anyone needs to know. I think most of us believe in God just like you do too. With all this said, I've never seen one of us use name calling against you guys like a lot of you do to us. We're all on the same side here.

There is much room for alternate explanations of the evidence. What we are currently witnessing is a large segment of the scientific community feeling the freedom to lay their ideas on the table. Previously, the liberal element of Academia censored the free thought in the Hard Sciences because the information affected the information they wish to indoctrinate.

What we are seeing is a schism between Liberal Academia and the more conservative "Hard Sciences". As the momentum continues we will see much more extensive research being spent evaluating the evidence from a Design perspective. The Book stores are becoming full of Intelligent Design best sellers, which in a free market translates to money for future R&D and a more sophisticated presentation of the supporting science.

Exciting times we are living in.

"Momentum" building on what? How can you have "much more extensive" research starting not with "less extensive" research but with literally NONE???

No amount of research will help when there is no evidence to start with.

The only way you can evaluate "the evidence from a Design perspective" is with a theistic version of science; that means throwing out the normal rules of science and replacing them with religion as the dominating criterion; if your results and studies don't agree with our religious dogma, you're outta here!

And its not just any religion, but the fundamentalist Christian version. If you do not agree with this statement, just ask yourself: do you think the current US intelligent design movement is promoting Buddhist, Islamic, Catholic, Native American or any other versions of creation?

The Wedge Strategy actually outlined the method for establishing this "theistic science" a decade ago. Are we to believe it is not being pushed by a lot of ID supporters now?
