RE: Abiogenesis is impossible

If you have a FM positioned at A (bipedal), and a FM positioned at Z (quadrupedal), anything from B to Y would be intermediate.
You want a quadruped with a FM positioned between that of a quadruped and a biped? That animal would likely have walked partly quadrupedal and partly bipedal, which won't meet your strange quadrupedal requirements; otherwise, you would have already accepted the evidence that we do have.
I can't remember where this verse is from, I think it got removed from canon:
"I don't hang around with mostly men because I'm gay. It's because men are better than women. Better trained, better equipped...better. Just better! I'm not gay."
For context, this is the previous verse:
"Hi Jesus" -robvalue

Remember the rule, Exian: if a transitional form is found between two other forms, that just means that there are TWO missing links now. And since these are metaphysical goal posts, they can continue to be shifted even after you have run out of ground.
"Well, evolution is a theory. It is also a fact. And facts and theories are different things, not rungs in a hierarchy of increasing certainty. Facts are the world's data. Theories are structures of ideas that explain and interpret facts. Facts don't go away when scientists debate rival theories to explain them. Einstein's theory of gravitation replaced Newton's in this century, but apples didn't suspend themselves in midair, pending the outcome. And humans evolved from ape- like ancestors whether they did so by Darwin's proposed mechanism or by some other yet to be discovered."

Lol If we were lucky enough to have a fossil record that included the FM in all positions A-Z, he'd be asking for Y1/2.

Exactly, it doesn't matter how much proof you show to fundies (you could take them back in time to the point where the buybull authors were concocting their folklore, and it still wouldn't matter) ... that's why we have words like stupid and idiot and retarded

Chimps are one body plan, Aust.. & Pith.. are another, not intermediates. Looking for images between those distinct body plans.

What's the difference between an intermediate and a species that contains many members and generations?

Bingo! Thats the point. If bipedalism emerged through natural-process biological evolution, the anatomical changes should gradually occur. So where are these stange looking creatures? Bipedalism appeared suddenly in the fossil record and was optimal soon as it appeared.

There's no other explanation. It can only have been God.
At the age of five, Skagra decided emphatically that God did not exist. This revelation tends to make most people in the universe who have it react in one of two ways - with relief or with despair. Only Skagra responded to it by thinking, 'Wait a second. That means there's a situation vacant.'

There's no other explanation. It can only have been the Christian God.
Fixed that for you.
