    nicely, no longer being a creationist, yet nonetheless a believing Christian, i think such as you're lacking the boat from the Christian attitude. To many Christians (somewhat people who would desire to finally finally end up as creationists) the Bible is the primary, meaning that whether it incredibly is in the Bible, no different evidence is needed, whether it incredibly is isn't, and conflicts with the Bible, then that is not actual. that's what a primary is, with the help of definition- that is like a ruler or a protractor- any perspective that the protractor would not degree as ninety stages isn't ninety stages. regardless of the shown fact that, you need to notice that a lot of human beings, some even very user-friendly and in any different case good scientists, purchase into into creationism or smart layout. Creationists and smart layout human beings DO usually and long discourse on why those theories are actual and evolution isn't. i think they are incorrect, yet I nonetheless have faith in a private God, and nonetheless have faith in the Bible in the main literal way it incredibly is taken without making the earth only approximately 7000 years previous. In different words, you have only only been uncovered to the anti-evolution propaganda, do no longer worry, finally you will see the different kinds available. the main severe element for many creationist media is only to solid doubt upon evolution- to no longer seek for converts yet to guard the religion of those already converted. meaning the retaining the Biblical account isn't precedence, trashing the 'conflicting' account is. besides, take it as you will, yet i understand, as specific or extra somewhat as i understand that creationism is bunk, that God exists, is own, and cares relating to the people on Planet Earth. The extra Biology, Chemistry, and Physics I learn, the extra specific i'm of it. And having study the different solutions now, I trust the man who stated posting in Spirituality. Sorry if I brought about any disharmony myself, no belligerent reason on my area.

    Here is an excellent page dedicated to transitional fossils ... including a very good analysis of what a transitional fossil *is*:

    http://www.talkorigins.org/faqs/faq-transitional.h...

    The claim ... repeated like a mantra by Creationists ... that there are NO transitional fossils at all is one of the most bizarre arguments... because it is SOOO easy to refute.

    There are a lot of transitional fossils. Off the top of my head I can think of Archaeopteryx (which is the transition between dinosaurs and birds) or even Tiktaalik or Acanthostega (transition from fishlike things to amphibian like things).

    Every single fossil in existence is a transitional fossil. Evolution does not predict birds giving birth to elephants, or half-bird, half-elephant fossils. Such things, in fact, would DISPROVE evolution. It predicts a smooth progression of small changes from one form to another.

    There's some, like the Archaeopteryx. It's a cross between a bird and a reptile.

    Sure thing. Look at dogs. Consider other dogs as transitional forms between wolf and mini-dachshund.

    If you tell me that a mini-dachshund is a wolf, here's my response: get glasses.
