The point here is, that any given organism exhibits transition. Creationists ask "where are the transitional formas". I propose it is logical to conclude that a manitee is transitional (As long as it doesn't become an evolutionary dead end).
I don't want debate about the semantics of the word "transitional". I would like hear from the creationist camp on their thoughts on this argument. Is it not logical to conclude that an ancestor to the manitee began to venture into the ocean for food and now we have a "transitional" organism that is more fully adapted to aquatic life? As long as the manitee doesn't dead end, selection pressures will select for more aquatic features.
Likewise, it is likely they the Golopagos Iguana is transitional to a later more aquatic reptile
The legless lizard can be seen as transitional to a snake like creature.
The Ostrich is transition from bird to terrestrial animal.
Pinguins are transitional to a more aquatic animal
Flying squirrels, flying lizards, flying snakes, sirens (salemander with only 2 front legs), Kangaroo mice, beavers, sea otters. These are just the living "transitional" forms.
What about Homo erectus? Anthropologists document that the cranial capacity (how big the brain can get) varies from early Homo erectus (smaller) to later populations (larger). This is an indication of transition within one species. In fact, because of the encephalization and anotomical changes in later Homo eructus, later specimens are almost indistinguishable from early Homo sapians. Some anthropoligists say they are erectus, some say sapien; If this is not evidence of transition. Someone please enlighten me.
Go look this stuff up; not on wikipedia though. Do some actual research and learn anthropology before you claim there are no "transitional" forms.
Notice that I'm not discrediting evidence for intelligent design; I'm giving my own evidence for natural selection/evolution. This is a stance that more folks should take.
Okay, that was a little bit of a ramble, but it felt good.
