What would a transitional fossil look like?

I know this is old for most of this group but for those in the lurk-o-sphere who may not know:If you understand what evolution actually does and how it does it and you really want to see a true example of a transitional between species all you need do is look in a mirror.

But you don't, nobody here does, you all have a lot of assumptions and imagination and can't possibly explain how you could get from one species to another. So you assert it and can't describe it at all, because it's impossible, you can only make absurd claims you can't prove. Edited by Faith, : No reason given.

I had the intellect in use for going on fifty years before I discovered the truth of Christianity, and now it's put to a better use than it was before.It's all leftists here, and I'm not even sure what an alt-right is.Anyway it wasn't a sunny day in church that changed me, I was changed by reading a ton of books on various religions, all kinds of religions, and ended up persuaded by the Christian books. When I finally went to a church I'd been a believer for going on two years, and it was a couple weeks before Christmas, probably not a sunny day but I don't remember, and they were singing Christmas Carols and the truth of the words hit me like it never had in decades of hearing them before, reduced me to a waterfall of tears at finally really getting it. The pastor made some kind of snarky remark about how this was a season of joy which I knew was aimed at my sitting there being a waterfall in his pew. Oh Joy to the World THE LORD IS COME, LET EARTH RECEIVE HER KING and so on and so forth, and I would wish anyone that same experience, minus the pastor's inability to grasp it.

Oh, Mike. Come on, you're a religionists. You see the devil everywhere. To your cousins of 200 years ago, most definitely. They were ignorant of the mechanics so the default fallback explination was always the devil. Just like today when a religious person can not comprehend the science of cosmology, evolution, geology, synecology, speleology, zymology they always find satan in there somewhere, even masquerading as god. Of course, Mike. You knew that. Take a look at a Model-T side-by-side with a Lamborghini Veneno. Obviously the latter evolved from the former. Any intellegent chimp can see that. And you were wrong ... again.And comparing a Indohyus with a Rodhocetus and a Balaenoptera just throws you into a tizzy doesn't it?BTW, if you care to go back to the cambrian 600+- million years ago we can compare spiders and bats (protostomes and dueterostomes). So that's why hippos and whales look so much un-alike? They both swim. And they are evolutionarily related and not all that far back. Your god didn't need to use any swimming similarities with these two. Seems evolution solved the problem without him. Good pick-up, Mike.

Blind religion.The answer has been given to you many times but the scales cover your eyes. You do not want to see.Micro-evolution times 100's of thousands, millions, of generations.Presto, majico! From carnivora to felidae and canidae, from tiktaalik to republicans and democrats.Edited by AZPaul3, : No reason given.Edited by AZPaul3, : Yes, M'Love, another late change. Still no leftist conspiracy, though.

It made you nuts. A cranial short circuit. An axonic disconnect.Are you sure you weren't sitting on some exposed wires somewhere? What did this crowd feed you beforehand? Any pills, injections, hammers to the head?You think it made you happy? You could have been so much happier remaining sane, but seems a bit too late for that at this point.I know this breaks my bounds, but, in another life where you were not just smart but also sane, My Love, we could have been wonderful together.Such a cruel, cruel universe.

This is what I like about going to scientific conferences, all the smartest people stand up and tell everyone how smart they are. Yeah right.Dunning-Kruger rides again.

Gosh the usual gobbledygook. Because you CAN'T describe how to get from one species to another, all you can do is assert it.Edited by Faith, : No reason given.

And yet you accomplished exactly that in the evolution of the "basic felid kind". To which your only response was to frantically try to redefine the entire world in order to avoid your own discovery.So now all you can do is to lie. So typical of creationists.

Faith it is not hard to find examples where you are failing to use your intellect correctly.Let’s take a gentle example. I will repeat the question I asked in Message 253

quote:

---

Anyone with eyes open should be able to see the evidence for the Flood everywhere on this earth. Everywhere, and not least in the strata found all over the planet that oddly enough are stacked in the same order everwhere they are found.

---

Please explain what makes it the “same order” and how that supports the Flood.Can you actually answer that ? Or are you making a foolish error because you haven’t bothered to understand what you are talking about ?

You need to demonstrate your reason in what you post here. Until you get that up to 100%, my statement stands. I have not claimed to be a good reasoner. I let my posts stand for themselves.

The fossils of course identify the order of the strata, carried on the water of the Flood and deposited in layers of course.

Well you didn’t make the mistake I expected, but you forgot that the order of the fossil record - which is what you are talking about - can’t be explained by the Flood.So it’s not evidence for the Flood - it’s strong evidence against your version.

No I didn't forget and I knew you'd be right there to argue against my claim that the Flood could account for the order. Well, it must account for it and perhaps the main argument for that is the irrationality of the usual explanation. As I've argued at great length, you can't get a mammal from a reptile for instance, although that is the explanation for their relative positions in the strata/aka the fossil record. And the huge variety of trilobites over what are thought to be hundreds of millions of years just adds another kind of argument: there is no evolution over all those hmy, just variations on the Trilobite species/genome.
