And if evolution is assumed to happen then fossils exhibiting certain characteristics will be slotted in as transitional because the assumption demands that there be some.
Nobody has ever assumed evolution happens. Science has concluded that it does based on evidence. One part of that evidence is the existence of transitional fossils. As I mentioned before, you know, the part of my previous post that you ignored, it was the existence of transitional fossils, and the transitional nature of populations, that lead to the conclusion, not assumption, that life evolves.
