Transitional
I think he problem with your argument is that you seem to be suggesting an end point which is being sort of predeterminedly aimed at.
​
Yes each species is transitional.
​
But each is also well adapted to it's current environment.
​
You seem to be suggesting that each species should be viewed as a half-way-house to some sort of superior end-result as yet unreached.
​
That is not really how the whole thing works........

This creationist sees bats as just rodents who instantly upon spreading out from the ark found a empty sky and filled it somewhat.
​
Can I ask why just rodents? Why not monkeys or foxes or even humans? Why didn't lots of different creatures "instantly upon spreading out from the ark find an empty sky and fill it somewhat"?
​
Imagine a race of humans with wings and radar. By the terms of your argument this should be possible "instantly" given a nice empty sky. No?
