Evolutionists: WHERE are the transitional fossils?

Question

Where are your beloved transitional fossils? There should millions upon millions of these fossils if species evolved into another, i.e fish evolved into lizards. And yet there is NOT A SINGLE TRANSITIONAL FOSSIL IN EXISTENCE.

So how exactly do you explain this? Something that allegedly has taken place for billions of years...and yet has nothing to back it up? You blame creationist for blindly believing spirits and unseen forces and yet you believe in something that has never been observed, cannot be observed due to the long time period it takes to complete, and has no concrete evidence to support it.

Don't stumble around the question. It's a very simple question: Where are the millions upon billions of transitional fossils?

Answer 1

We do have quite a few. Obviously we don't have a father son line going all the way back to the first cell, but we do see changes in the fossils to look more and more human the change of the jaw over time. The increase in brain size the reduction of the muzzle. We have the fossils of Lucy which is the first that we find that are bipedal dependent. Look a lot of people say that there is a science religion dichotomy I don't believe so. Evolution does not disprove the existence of God it simply shows the method life developed. I believe the god being omniscient is a the best scientist ever and he used scientific principle

Answer 2

Exactly why would a fish transition into a lizard? What would be the evolutionary purpose of that? I never understood that example when people give it. The fact of the matter is that there are transitional fossils. Extra bones for limbs animals no longer need with snakes as an example. Extra body parts we have that we no longer use or that have deteriorated it to something else such as the pituitary gland being thought by some scientists to be the remnants of an actual third eye. There are more but rather than do that, here. Enjoy. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_transitional_fossils

Answer 3

Your point is well said, my friend. When we find fossils, they match with living counterparts. When they don't, they match with a handful of known extinct animals. Carl Werner did some really good work showing that they are making up new (ancient) species when they find a fossil without looking up the fact that they have a living counterpart. Every "transition" they have is highly disputed, and the human / ape skulls can be easily categorized just looking at the flatness of the nose bone, the roundness of the cranium, and the 90 degree angle of the human vs. the 45 of the ape. That's why the transitional fossils are usually shown by artist depiction and not by the bone fragment they are using to build the story up. So you are so very right, my friend. It's too bad they will never see it. Like Pharaoh in Egypt, God will harden the heart of those who choose to harden their own. He will soften those who seek Him out.

Answer 4

there is no such thing as "traditional; fossils" - these were invented by creationists so that they can ask where they are



ALL creatures are creatures in their own right - they are not a "transitional species" B between A and C

(its like asking " where is the number between 1 and 2?"

there aint one, we only have numbers 1-9

1.5 aint a number between 1 and 2 - its 2 numbers that represent a value between 1 and 2

another number would be something like "@"

so we would have numbers 1,@,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9 where @ has a value 1.5)



second thing is-

there is nothing in evolution that says 1 creature must look different from another

for all I know there may be lots of different species of humans on earth right now - They just happen to all look similar

How would anybody know they are different species?. Only way you would find out is to dna test everybody on earth

At present they live they die and nobody would ever know they were different



last thing

supposing science had never existed and neither does evolution

How the f//k does that prove life was created?



Creationism aint the default starting point to the question "how did life come to exist?"

its "I dont know"



You can NEVER EVER prove life was created by disproving evolution

(so creation pseudo-science are wasting millions over decades trying to prove evolution is wrong but STILL aint done it,

But the really Interesting thing is - they aint spent a dime trying to prove it was created)



So have you got any actual evidence life was created or are you relying on the "if it didnt evolve then it must have been created" like all other creationists?



You demand those who believe evolution answer an invented question



THEN YOU ANSWER A REAL ONE



Do YOU have ANY evidence life was created or NOT?



cos If you have then were is it? -



Now come on - its a very simple question - no need to stumble around, = you either got it or you aint



so come on dont be shy



Think of it this way - IF you got it - you will get a nobel prize , get millions of $s from religion + atheism and evolution will disappear overnight

Answer 5

Stating that a thing does not exist is an unprovable point. While evolutionary theory predicted that intermediate fossils should exist, it never claimed that ALL of them should. Fossilization only occurs under infrequent specific conditions. Those fossils must then survive millions of years of burial, uplift, and erosion, and then found by someone who realizes that they don't have dragon bones. Despite all of these challenges, hundreds of transitional species are known. Some of the most complete series of evolutionary change occur with pigs (who happen to live and die in environments that promote fossilization.

Answer 6

EVERYTHING is a transitional form. Nothing is ever a "final form". Mutations are occurring all the time. The question is whether successive mutations accumulate to eventually produce a form which is materially different from the original form.



You are ignorant of the most basic facts of the subject. Read about Darwin's work on the finches of the Galapogas Islands, and then ask some more stupid questions.

Answer 7

You are so full of you-know-what that I'd bet your eyes are brown. What do you call Tiktaalik? Archeopteryx? What about the rather complete genealogy of the horses, from Hyracotherium (AKA Eohippus) to Equus? You wouldn't know a transitional fossil if it came up and bit you.

Answer 8

Evolutionist are full of crap when it comed to transitions, but have valid facts in heredity through genetics. I think one scientist threw that one out there as a hypothesis as a guess and they went with it ever since. I think ot is about time to abandon that hypothesis and move on to another to see where that reasearch takes them. What is the worst that is going to happen? Their just going to get more money for discoveries in breakthroughs. What, they hate making money now?

Answer 9

Well, because of the specialized and rare circumstances required for a biological structure to fossilize, logic dictates that known fossils represent only a small percentage of all life-forms that ever existed.



Now fuc* off.



Atheist.

Answer 10

Every fossil of a species that doesn't go extinct without descendants is a transitional fossil, you moron.

Answer 11

When you ARROGANTLY ask Evolutionists: WHERE are the transitional fossils, why don't you go to valid sources to find out instead of relying on those LYING SACK OF S**T creationist web sites you visit and which have damaged your brain.



Here are sources.

Answer 12

Dear bone-head. Let's talk about dogs first......



Observable today is the evolution of the domestic dog from the Grey Wolf. Today's dogs have been selectively bred over the last 500 years "creating" new breeds. But they are still wolves.

The fossil record detailing 35,000 years is very complete and clear.



And Science has hum,an bones, tons of bones. These bones make up the "fossil record". They have bones they haven't even classified yet. These bones talk. And Science has not only bones...they have teeth, tools, fire pits, wall paintings and graves for these Human ancestors

--(partial list)

Homo habilis 2.5 mya to 1.5 mya

Homo rudolfensis

Homo erectus 1.9 mya to 300,000 ya (most successful existence span)

Homo ergaster 1.9 mya to 1/3 mya

Homo cepranensis 1.1 mya

Homo heidelbergensis 700,000 ya

Homo rhodesiensis 300,000 ya

Homo floresiensis 250,000 ya

Homo neanderthalensis 300,000 ya to 20,000 ya

Homo sapiens 200,000 ya

Homo sapiens - Cro-Magnon (Early Modern humans 40,000 ya

Homo sapiens sapiens, Modern Humans 17-20,000+ ya



And we Homo sapiens sapiens, Modern Humans are transitional.



Thanks for asking...

Answer 13

every fossil of a species that doesn't go extinct without descendants is a transitional fossil, you moron...

Answer 14

use yr computer to find out if your nearest LARGE university or museum allows back room tours of the fossil storage areas showing all the bones they have NO room to put on display

Answer 15

They're all transitional fossils.

Answer 16

Hey guys the growing mountain of evidence that supports evolution is made up, allow me to tell you a story about a talking snake....



Idiots.

Answer 17

OK. What do you think Homo erectus is? Human? Ape? Transitional species in the human linage?

Answer 18

they're all transitional fossils...
