what you are doing is throwing the baby out with the bath water..these scientists believe the Bible but in many cases their scientific study has brought them to that belief. One does in no way dismiss the other. I don’t understand why you demand a complete separation of religion and science when they both point to each other.
And those “transitionals” are simply a collection of skulls without the accompanied other bones needed. Various human and ape skulls. Pure speculation on your part. I am afraid that you have accepted a false teaching and cling to it for dear life when in reality you are missing out on true wonderful scientific discoveries.

When one accepts scripture as the absolute truth one has abandoned the scientific method. You can argue all you want, but you can't get around the fact that belief in revelation/scripture is a different method than the scientific method. Religious belief does not constitute scientific evidence, nor does it convey scientific knowledge. (Hey, there's a good tagline in there somewhere!)

False.

Who ever told you that the skulls are without any accompanying bones? It is simply not true. This is why I suggested you had not studied the fossil record, but had just stayed at a Holiday Inn Express. Or googled up AnswersInGenesis.

For every nice skull, there are many other body parts. And for every nice skull, there are thousands of related fossils of fauna and flora. And the geological record.

And they are various human and ape skulls? Great, but creationists can't agree on which is which! Some place various skulls as human while others place them as apes. Maybe, just maybe, that is because they have the characteristics of both. They are transitionals!

I am afraid that you have accepted a false teaching and cling to it for dear life when in reality you are missing out on true wonderful scientific discoveries.

Sorry, not true. I do science for a living, and I am involved in "wonderful scientific discoveries." But I do not arrive at these by abandoning the scientific method in favor of religious belief. (Hey, there's a good tagline in there somewhere!)
