Transitional fossils not proof of evolution?

The first relates to the number of gaps. It seems that everytime we do find a fossil that fits nicely into one of the existing gaps, all we seem to have accomplished is to create two new gaps. Second, as predicted by the TOE, we are finding more and more evidence that the Cambrian Explosion was not where all of the different critters first appeared. In this thread I provided links to some of the recent findings of pre-cambrian Bilaterian fossils just as one such example.The issues revolving around what once was called the Cambrian Explosion is just another example of the Biblical Creationists not keeping up with what is actually known.

recently several videos of flying (well gliding actually) snakes have been published on the net. You can see some here.

More videos. These I came across not long ago. Flying snakes

Growth and learning is fun isn't it. Keep following where it leads. But also, please remember that many of us also have no problems with what the evidence shows us actually happened and our faith. All the TOE does is show us "How God Really Did It."We still believe the answer to many questions is "goddidit" just like the YECs and Biblical Creationists do, only we have an idea of how.

Millions of them. Likely billions of them.

Have you ever actually held a fossil? Do you know what a transitional is?All fossils are transitional. They are snapshot of life in transition.Maybe before we go any further, particularly since the sites you've linked to are so full of misinformation, we should find out what you think a transitional might be?

Your post to nosyned just above pointed to what may be your problem. The TOE never suggests that there would be some critter that is half fish and half frog, and in fact, should something like that ever be found it would definitely mean we all need to step back and look at the theory again.The Theory of Evolution does not say that there would ever be something like that, rather that the transitions will be small and happen of relatively long periods of time. Even what is called rapid evolution covers a period of tens of thousands of years.

If you really want a scientist I can set you up with one in a mentoring discussion.If that sounds good (it will prevent piling on and you getting overwhelmed with responses) just reply and I'll set it up for you.

The member you want to watch for on this specific issue is Lithodid-Man. He will be happy to expound on horseshoe crabs.
