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 speciesThat'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.Iasion

There we have it in a nut-shell :Ringo (as she* so often does) asked just the right question -
what is the barrier between a Lucy-like creature evolving into us?Not only does ICANT fail to identify a barrier, he can't even accept a POSSIBLE connection between Lucy and us. ICANT struggled to even grasp the simple concept Ringo was addressing. Now ICANT retreats to the silly old canard about demanding proof before even CONSIDERING the idea of a conection.The location of the BARRIER could not be made more plain :It's in the MINDS of creationists.Iasion(* Ringo - your icon is so distinctive, I imagine you as a smart young lady in a cowboy hat. Feel free to let me think that, or not :-)
