Dumb Things Theists Say

[Rahul]

The latest one I seem to be getting lately is

"Where is the evidence for cross species evolution? Where are the transitional fossils?

This one always makes me laugh, it's as if they assume half evolved animals with missing limbs and organs should be working around the planet

Laugh all you want you still can't prove it, so the last laugh will be on you.

Well this never gets old...

Fossils or organisms that show the intermediate states between an ancestral form and that of its descendants are referred to as transitional forms. There are numerous examples of transitional forms in the fossil record, providing an abundance of evidence for change over time.

At least hundreds, possibly thousands, of transitional fossils have been found so far by researchers. The exact count is unclear because some lineages of organisms are continuously evolving.

In 2004, scientists digging in the Canadian Arctic unearthed fossils of a half-fish, half-amphibian that all but confirmed paleontologists' theories about how land-dwelling tetrapods–four-limbed animals, including us–evolved from fish. It is a classic example of a transitional form, one that bridges a so-called evolutionary gap between different types of animal. In this slide show, examine five important cases.
