Re: differentiating between the observation and the theory
Great, give me an example of a transitional form.
Here are an assload of 'em.

Re: differentiating between the observation and the theory
transitional forms
Once again, here's an assload of transitional forms. More specifically, here's some transitionals between fish and amphibians.
Here is a more recently discovered example of a transitional form between fish and amphibians. The really neat thing about Tiktaalik is that it was discovered after paleontologists predicted how long ago something like it might have lived, and predicted where it might be found based on the age of the rocks at that particular site.
So, I'd like you to do two things for me, binky. One, tell me why these aren't transitional forms and, two, show me a similar discovery that anyone has ever made based on a prediction of creationism.
