Transitional fossils not proof of evolution?

ALL forms are transitional - including ourselves.

Your response indicates that you find this idea fantastic, but it's not.Yes, we ARE evolving as we speak. Our current form is in no way some sort of endpoint.Edited by RickJB, : No reason given.

This is true. Bats have to flap constantly to maintain level flight - they glide very poorly. They are certainly far less well adapted to flight than most birds.

No. It's based on the the evidence at hand! It so happens that the evidence consistently backs the evolutionary hypothesis.You really must not confuse evolutionary theory with religion. A scientist's "belief" in evolution is based solely on the fact that it is well backed by empirical evidence. If such evidence did not exist then evolution would be ditched very quickly.As it stands, literally thousands upon thousands of independently-made scientific observations have supported evolution. For sure, science doesn't have all the details, but the evidence we do have is strong enough for evolution to be regarded as a full-blown scientific theory.Edited by RickJB, : Typos.Edited by RickJB, : No reason given.
