Transitional fossils

Let me introduce you Tiktaalik:

http://tiktaalik.uchicago.edu/meetTik.html

Here we have a creature that has a mix of fish and amphibian traits. It is a clear transition from fish to tetrapods. And get this... scientists actually predicted its existence! They surmised (using evolutionary theory) that such a creature must have existed. They were even able to calculate when it must have lived. This allowed them to figure out which rock layers were likely to hold fossils of this thing. And they were right! You see, this is how a scientific theory works!

Now please educate yourself so you don't look like an ignorant fool.

Quote: Fossils do not count toward evolution.

Then angles do not count toward geometry. Cave paintings do not count toward archaeology. The speed of light does not count toward relativity. Do you now see how stupid your statement is?

And you know what? We don't need fossils to know that Evolutionary Theory is true! Read "The Greatest Show on Earth" and you'll learn why!

Quote: If we did have transitional fossils then why haven't we seen an exposition of these so called transitional fossils where the point of transition has been proudly displayed?

There is no "point of transition". All we can do is find examples of fossils that demonstrate how creatures have changed over time.

Quote: I want to see rock compared to rock

How about your head compared to rock?

Quote:....not the well drawn, false but amusing cartoon looking diagram that you see on wikipedia.

And you know these diagrams are false..... how?
Science flies us to the moon and stars. Religion flies us into buildings.

God allowed 200,000 people to die in an earthquake. So what makes you think he cares about YOUR problems?
