"Exactly where we would expect to find them - fossilized in the ground, and living on the surface of the earth."
...good answer. i agree with what is said in this article. (
http://www.cryingvoice.com/Evolution/fossils_missing.html)
"Considering that there are almost 2 million (!) species on earth today and the time it would take for a new species to evolve is many millions of years, there should be billions of transitional forms, had evolution happened.
Duane T. Gish, The Origin of Mammals :
If this view of evolution is true, the fossil record should produce an enormous number of transitional forms. Natural history museums should be overflowing with undoubted intermediate forms. About 250,000 fossil species have been collected and classifiedApplying evolution theory and the laws of probability, most of these 250,000 species should represent transitional forms."
In light of this, I don't see much backing for the notion of transitional species. Fossilized in the ground? What if none are ever found. Living on the surface of the earth? What living thing is a transitional species, an elephant maybe, or a mouse, or even human beings. If modern-day transitional species are present would imply that all things will evolve further, including humans.
