Don’t get so ticked off. I was only trying to point out that intra-species transition is not the same process as the supposed inter-species transition.

Not the same process. That’s all I meant.

And the general point is that the inter-species transition should be more carefully described. But this is impossible because it’s never been observed, which makes the job of arguing honestly in favor of evolution very difficult.

Estimate the average number, theoretically, of supposed intermediate (but as of yet unidentified) species between two known species. (Is this a taboo subject for evolutionists?) Notice the number will necessarily be far greater than two.

Let’s take a very low number—say, fifty. This means that the number of unidentified intermediate species is fifty times greater than the number of known species.

Not only should there be more transitional species in the fossil record. There should be more of them still in existence. Or at least some, as opposed to virtually zero.

I am not “ticked off” and what you are trying to “point out” is ludicrously wrong. It is EXACTLY the same process. What introduces change to DNA WITHIN a species is the exact same process that will change two separate populations of the same species into two separate species.

You waste HOURS and HOURS arguing something that you don't even bother to use a single hour of your time to try to understand. And reading Creationist sources will NOT educate you, it will just further your appalling ignorance of the subject.

You see, Creationists are statistically among the lowest educated segments of the population, and Creationist sources know and use this to peddle disinformation, knowing that the vast majority of Creationists are not smart enough or educated enough to figure it out.

Inter-species transition HAS been observed, just like transitional species. Holding your fingers in your ears, closing your eyes and chanting “NAH NAH NAH” isn't going to make those observations go away either.

Every species in the fossil record is a “transitional” from what went before to what is coming next.

And almost all of the species that ever existed are now extinct. Obviously they were either a dead end, or they “transitioned”.

The several different species of Australopithocine and early Hominids are not enough for you? You cannot explain them at all according to your “model”, and yet you think that there should be EVEN MORE of them?
