This is the gist of my point. My point being “”fully formed’ creatures, by definition, are not transitional forms”.
But your point is wrong.
Your definition is creationist preaching, it has no basis in reality.
You make a very common creationist mistake - you think there are TWO completely different kind of creatures :
1. "Fully formed" species
2. Transitional species - which are somehow not "fully formed"
This is completely incorrect.
(And it confirms that you have never studied evolution at all, instead you have been preached to by creationists. I suggest you study evolution before making more false statments.)
In reality - there is ONE kind of creature :
1. fully formed transitional species
That's right -
All species are fully formed.
All species are transitional. (*)
(* Except for those creatures which left no descendents at all.)
There is no such thing as species not "fully formed" - it is an invalid concept with no basis in reality.
Your parents are transitional between your grandparents and you.
You are transitional between your parents and your children (when/if you have children.)
You are transitional.
Are you "partially formed" ?
Of course not - every creature is fully formed,
and every creatures is transitional.
