Transitional fossils

I apologise if this is going a little off topic, but guys, I think your arguments using facts and evidence is falling on deaf ears. Creationists aren't that logical. The problem is they think they are logical. Irrational people don't think of themselves as irrational. To them, Creationism is simple, easy to understand and makes them feel safe and that's what makes it true to them. They don't define evidence and facts the same way we do. They THINK they do, but in their minds whatever is consistent with the Bible is fact and everything that contradicts it is a fabrication. If you present them with evidence, they will think up of whatever excuse to reject it. They only hear what they want to hear.

They don't define transitional fossils the same way we do because they have a very rudimentary understanding of how evolution works. To them, a transitional fossil would be some random modern animal transforming into some other random modern animal, like a monkey transforming into a human, and even if that was how evolution worked and such fossils existed, they will still come up with excuses to reject it. They don't accept evolution because they don't want it to be true. It's as simple as that. They don't want to be a "dirty animal", they want to be an all-loving God's special creation and they want absolute authority and certainty on everything. They don't want to accept there are aspects about our origins or the universe that aren't fully understood yet. They don't like that because it makes them feel unsafe and vulnerable. They cannot imagine a universe without a God because that would mean uncertainty. They've been conditioned to believe the false dilemma that either God created the universe or it all happened by accident.

Congratulation, you know the mind and heart of every Christian.

When did I say I knew the heart and mind of every Christian? Only what goes on in the minds of Creationists who misunderstand, misinterpret and distort the evidence.
