I'd like to see evolutionists present actual arguments against creationism as well as for evolutionism and not just silence the other side by calling them nuts.

I have been presenting evidence in these threads for years. Creationists often either hand-wave that evidence away, no matter what it is, or occasionally tell me I'm an atheist and headed for hell.

But, since you asked for evidence we'll give it a try:

This is a transitional fossil. Note its position in the chart which follows (hint--in the upper center):



Fossil: KNM-ER 3733

Site: Koobi Fora (Upper KBS tuff, area 104), Lake Turkana, Kenya (4, 1)

Discovered By: B. Ngeneo, 1975 (1)

Estimated Age of Fossil: 1.75 mya * determined by Stratigraphic, faunal, paleomagnetic & radiometric data (1, 4)

Species Name: Homo ergaster (1, 7, 8), Homo erectus (3, 4, 7), Homo erectus ergaster (25)

Gender: Female (species presumed to be sexually dimorphic) (1, 8)

Cranial Capacity: 850 cc (1, 3, 4)

Information: Tools found in same layer (8, 9). Found with KNM-ER 406 A. boisei (effectively eliminating single species hypothesis) (1)

Interpretation: Adult (based on cranial sutures, molar eruption and dental wear) (1)

Thanks Coyoteman, for that interpretation of the evidence. Unfortunately, homology is not evidence of a transitional form, nor is variance that is well within contemporary boundaries evidence for Mr. H. Ergaster being anything but human.
