Fossils don't show ANY transitional species but maybe this computer program with fix that too. Same old threads, same old lies.

It's not really a 'lie' that there are no transitional fossils when creationists redefine "transitional fossil" as "that which does not exist". It's disingenious, maybe, but not technically lying.

The problem with this program is that there are no predators to come along and eat up the evolving life forms. The ALife has been left alone to change on its own without worrying about becoming someone else's dinner. So if you have some partial adaptation, for example, a proto eye that confers no real advantage to you, you may not live the 100,000 generations is supposedly takes for a real eye to evolve and become useful. This is an interesting thought experiment that they have developed, but it is probably nothing else.
