Definition of Evolution

How long have you been posting here NJ? Surely you can do better than this old canard... Of course, all known species are in fact transitional, but here is one example of a recently discovered "transitional fossil" (to use the informal term). It was all over the news two years ago. The best thing about it is that it wasn't found by accident - paleontologists searched geological structures of a certain type and age, thus demonstrating the predictive capacity of the physical evidence used to support the TOE.Tiktaalik - WikipediaEdited by RickJB, : No reason given.

They possibly would, depending of course on how the mudskipper evolved from its current form. Where's the problem? All species are transitional. Mudskippers provide a clear example of a creature adapted to a life split between the land and the sea, as do pinnipeds (sea-lions etc) and many other species. As time passes these creatures continue to adapt to changing environments.Edited by RickJB, : No reason given.

Is zebra a zebra? A donkey a donkey? Or are they all "horses"?Is a lion a lion? A tiger a tiger? Or are they all "big cats"?What "kind" is a Tigon, or a Zorse, or a Mule?A wolf is a wolf and a dog is a dog. So what "kind" is Wolf-Dog?

But if you insist on proposing the existence of "kinds" that is exactly what you must do.Until that time you're just blowing hot air...Edited by RickJB, : No reason given.

How is posting a recent example of a transitional fossil in response to an utterly groundless assertion that none exist "ad hominem"? I made no personal attacks - I was merely expressing surprise that you continue to use such arguments given your long involvement here.I wrote in response to what you posted - nothing more, nothing less. If seeking to directly correct a falsehood is "pithy" to you then so be it.In any case, this is all OT. Edited by RickJB, : No reason given.Edited by RickJB, : No reason given.
