The topic, as described in the first post of this thread:
quote:
Opponents to the theory of evolution often point out the lack of transitional fossils/organisms; I believe this is due to a misunderstanding of transitional species.
The theory of evolution argues that all life on earth is continually under change; it is never static. With this in mind, every organism can be seen as transitional. Some animals are more noticeably transitional than others. Alligators, for instance, live both on land and in water. Ostrichs are birds that can not fly and pinguins are birds that have adapted to swim. Are these not excellent examples of transitional organisms?
Please share your arguments for or against this idea and any other comments you may have; however, please stay on topic.
Please stick to the topic of transitional fossils and arguments for and against the proposition outlined above. Failure to stay on topic may result in receiving a suspension from posting. There are a variety of different topics that have been discussed here, please start new threads, or even better find existing threads that discuss the subject to post in.
Thank you.
