Quote# 8093

A trasitionary fossil would be one of an animal, let's say a fish, turning into a bird. So it would look very different in the sense that it could have gills and wings. half bird half fish. That's what they are saying we would find.

There's a theory, not sure what it's called, that said it just happened one time, by chance. that an animal laid an egg and out came something completely different from what it's mother was. Even if that happened, what would that new animal have to mate with? nothing.

evolution says that it's all luck built up over time. hmm. it doesn't add up at all.

okay, folks, lets have this in chorus. All together now:

JUST BECAUSE YOU DON'T UNDERSTAND IT (YOU!) DOESN'T MEAN IT'S NOT TRUE!

(except that fish/bird thing. That's just nuts. And the egg thing. Dude. Get a clue)

No evolutionary biologist ever postulated that fish turned into birds.

These fundies must be afraid that if they actually do the research, they will find out that they were wrong all along.

The funny thing is, the \"transitional fossils\" mshake describes, if found, would falsify much of the theory of evolution as we know it (as well as major theories in roughly a dozen scientific disciplines...)

That's not a theory. A theory is an idea supported by a large body of evidence.

\"a fish, turning into a bird.\"
It's called a REP-TILE.

Fish > amphibians > reptiles > birds.

Get your facts straight.

Of course we can't find a transitional fossil of what many fundamentalists want: it doesn't exist because they don't understand how evolution works. Then they crow that it's not true because they've torched a straw-man.

I'm guessing Kent Hovnid explained what evolution is to you. In which case it's wrong.

He's clearly never been acquainted with the Pacific Flying Fish, or the Freshwater Hatchetfish.

Or logic.

Well, the whale fossils they found at Wadi Al-hiton could be considered transitional, although not in the terms you described. I could go into great detail about how poor your understanding of evolution is but I simply do not have the energy, but I will say this: you're thinking of the Larkinian theory of evolution, his theory has been DISPROVED.

Urgh, the arrogance..

Imagining that the species alive today must be the REAL species, and all the previous species were just formalities, trying to grow wings and eyes so that they could be a bird. I'd love to see this guy confronted by the creature which homo sapiens sapiens are a form transitional towards.

Homo Exaltus was one term for such, also from encyclopaedia dramatica. I find the term quite awesomely apt.

We've a long way to go yet. This guy reeks of hovind.

someones been listening to Hovind. ;(

the sequence is roughly fish>amphibians>reptiles>birds but you can look it up. try bird evolution as a search in Google.

perhaps these creationists need to check out the Northwestern Arboreal Octopus.

whatever

Maybe the fish didn't die at the precise moment it turned into a bird, so no "transitionary fossil" resulted.

Sigh.

Evolution is continuous. Every fossil is transitional dick head.
