Darwin said there would be millions of Missing
Links found which would prove his Evolutionism.
Now 188 years later, NONE ever have been found.

Let me ask you this question. Can you cite ~any~ fossil

is not required* to make the case that it IS transitional??

If not, then this is positive evidence that your theory is

And most of the fossils that we find today are testimony
of the great deluge. Thus also of the judgment to come.

Can you name any fossil species which no longer exists in its
fossilized form and say definitely *where fantasy is not required* that
it is NOT a transitional form?

Maybe in another couple of centuries the tree of life will be well
enough known to decide one way or another, but not yet.

Archaeoraptor, Piltdown and a host of others.

Most fossils are not fake, but are a testimony
of the destruction that came upon the ancient
world, and point to the destruction that is to
come.

Not one of those erroneous claims were discovered by creationists. Why
is that?

Sorry Andrew, you have only named two. Now how many fossils do you think
there are?
Three? There are millions of fossils and you can only name three frauds?
This reminds me of
the old creationist canard about erroneous radiometric dates, then they
name a few, most of which they
were complicit in the duplicity of the error. So, with the very few
'errors' used by creationists, they fail to
mention the estimated 110,000 radiometric datings that have been
performed in laboratories over the
world.

You have a nice day god-bot.

Yes indeed I can and I will cite more than one when you find the guts

No you can't, and the fact that you have not is evidence that
your theory is based upon fantasy and Darwinian deception.

You know, I am forced to admit I'm kind of impressed
here. I myself have tried to wade through the
transitional fossil FAQ on more than one occasion, but
never made it through -- they just have way way too
many examples to take it all in. For me, anyhow.

And yet Andrew here seems to have read the entire
thing, thought about (and perhaps even did further
reading on?) each and every single one of the dozens
upon dozens upon dozens of fossils cited, and then
found some kind of flaw in each and every one.

How did he ever even find the time?

This is very significant folks! Even Budikka is *unable* to cite *any*
fossil that is acknowledged to be a transitional, where fantasy is not
required to make the case that it is transitional. Thus showing that..
what you have been taught as being fact, is actually based on fantasy.

"The extreme rarity of transitional forms in the fossil record persists
as the trade secret of paleontology. The evolutionary trees that adorn
our textbooks have data only at the tips of the nodes of their branches;
the rest is inference, however reasonable, not the evidence of fossils.
Yet Darwin was so wedded to gradualism that he wagered his entire
theory on a denial of this literal record . . . ."
-- Stephen Jay Gould (Professor of Geology and Paleontology)

Again you twist the truth by taking quotes out of context.

Gould was not dismissing evolution.

He was referring to Darwin's idea that all evolution occurs gradually.

A big difference to what you think Gould was saying.

Thing is: we're only going to find fossils of forms that were very numerous (and hence very successful), because the probability of an individual making it into the fossil record is so low.

If a transitional form scrapes through at low numbers until further mutations make for a really well-adapted form clearly it's very unlikely that the transitional form would leave fossils.

And remember, that the less well adapted a form is, the more likely that a random mutation will be an improvement, rather than detrimental.

Myself, I prefer the idea of "saltational" evolution, where a mutation hits a homeobox gene in the way that changes the whole body plan in one go.

Such a mutation, if recessive, can spread through the parent population more or less silently, with increasing frequency of mutant births to the point where the new species can find mates.

No, it's data which may result in a refinement of our understanding of speciation.

There's no alternate theory available (God done it isn't a theory, because it predicts nothing).

When did Darwin say this?????Let's see a link to a quote from a

Fossilization is a rare event, not something that happens every day.Most animals die without leaving any traces at all.

Gee bait-breath, what about the therizinosaur which is transitional
between carnivory and herbivory dinosaurs.
Also you might wish to lean the difference between extreme rarity and
none. I know that for you that is impossible
but I only wished to expose your shallow knowledge of paleontology.

I have already cited scores of them *in these very newsgroups*

I will cite from the primary science literature, but you have to pay
for that, Coward for Christ, and the price is that you have to find
the guts from somewhere to face me in a formal debate.

Or you can continue to let it be known world-wide in these newsgroups

Ah. Andrew apparently overlooked ... see how kind I
am?...apparently "overlooked" my post where I expressed
my amazement that Andrew had read about every last one
of the dozens upon dozens of fossils in the
transitional fossil FAQ -- and not only had he studied
every claim, he found in each and every example,
individually, some flaw in the argument.

I find that a near-miraculous feat. For most people
that would have taken weeks. Or even months.

I feel this accomplishment shouldn't simply die there.
Andrew really should grace us with a list of..oh, say,
two dozen of those many fossils, and specify for each,
using precise paleontological reasoning, where the
"fantasy" lies.

Wouldn't that be a good idea?

After all, laboring away day after day in those

Yep. Gould was quite the writer. In fact, let's
let him talk a bit further on this subject:


"[T]ransitions are often found in the fossil record. Preserved
transitions are not common -- and should not be, according to our
understanding of evolution (see next section) but they are not
entirely
wanting, as creationists often claim. [He then discusses two
examples:
therapsid intermediaries between reptiles and mammals, and the
half-
dozen human species - found as of 1981 - that appear in an
unbroken
temporal sequence of progressively more modern features.]

Faced with these facts of evolution and the philosophical
bankruptcy of
their own position, creationists rely upon distortion and innuendo
to
buttress their rhetorical claim. If I sound sharp or bitter,
indeed I
am -- for I have become a major target of these practices.

I count myself among the evolutionists who argue for a jerky, or
episodic, rather than a smoothly gradual, pace of change. In 1972
my
colleague Niles Eldredge and I developed the theory of punctuated
equilibrium. We argued that two outstanding facts of the fossil
record
-- geologically "sudden" origin of new species and failure to
change
thereafter (stasis) -- reflect the predictions of evolutionary
theory,
not the imperfections of the fossil record. In most theories,
small
isolated populations are the source of new species, and the
process of
speciation takes thousands or tens of thousands of years. This
amount
of time, so long when measured against our lives, is a geological
microsecond . . .

Since we proposed punctuated equilibria to explain trends, it is
infuriating to be quoted again and again by creationists --
whether
through design or stupidity, I do not know -- as admitting that
the
fossil record includes no transitional forms. Transitional forms
are
generally lacking at the species level, but they are abundant
between
larger groups.


[taken from the quote-mining FAQ, section 3.2]

Perhaps you can answer Gould's question, Andrew --
intentional "misunderstanding", or old-fashion "stupidity"?

But, you should excuse me, this is a quote taken out of context. He
didn't say that each transitional's story *was* fantasy, only that
making them up was "easy ...." Apparently you don't read for

*how* and *why* each is a "fantasy."

Pseudoscientists often reveal themselves by their handling of the
scientific literature. Their idea of doing scientific research is simply
to read scientific periodicals and monographs. They focus on words, not
on the underlying facts and reasoning. They take science to be all
statements by scientists. Science degenerates into a secular substitute
for sacred literature. Any statement by any scientist can be cited
against any other statement. Every statement counts and every statement
is open to interpretation.

Have you not yet figured out that every time you
dishonestly quote mine something a scientist said,
deceptively trying to make it appear he renounces
evolution, someone here will go out and uncover
the entire story? And then bitch-slap you in the face
with it?

I suppose one of the attributes of a good liar is never
to feel embarrassment, no matter how many times your
lies are exposed. If that's so, Andrew is something of
a genius.


Here's your bitch-slap for today:

-- http://tinyurl.com/27mxrm


It's admittedly long, so here's a teaser to whet your
appetite. It's from Colin Petterson's book
"Evolution":

"In several animal and plant groups, enough fossils
are known to bridge the wide gaps between existing
types. In mammals, for example, the gap between
horses, asses and zebras (genus Equus) and their
closest living relatives, the rhinoceroses and
tapirs, is filled by an extensive series of fossils
extending back sixty-million years to a small
animal, Hyracotherium, which can only be
distinguished from the rhinoceros-tapir group by
one or two horse-like details of the skull. There
are many other examples of fossil 'missing links',
such as Archaeopteryx, the Jurassic bird which
links birds with dinosaurs (Fig. 45), and
Ichthyostega, the late Devonian amphibian which
links land vertebrates and the extinct choanate
(having internal nostrils) fishes. . ."

Well, let's keep in mind the following, from St. Ignatius Loyola's works,
part of the rules he espouses for the order (Jesuits) and for Christian
life:

"To be right in everything, we ought always to hold that the white which
I see, is black, if the Hierarchical Church so decides it..."

Yes, you read that correctly. If something is white, but the church says
it's black... then it must be black.

This sort of ingrained dishonesty is not limited to the Jesuits, nor to
the Mormons with their effectively codified "Lying for the Lord"; you can
see its application in here almost every day.

IF you had any science education, Harlow, you'd know that science is not
a matter of "belief". That is strictly the domain of your religion.

As I've pointed out to you MANY times in the past, science is NOT
concerned about a "belief" in anything be it ghosts, UFOs or government
conspiracies. One can suspect that certain things MAY be true, but facts
are established by actual observation, not "belief". This is where you
atheists and other leftist political types step on your own dick.

Snider is EVERYONE's enemy. Well, not so much an "enemy". He's really not
smart enough to be an enemy. He's more like a loud yappy little dog. The
problem is you still end up having to check to see what he's yapping

First of all, I am neither left nor right, politically. Unlike you, I
judge each issue on it's own merits and don't toe the party line.

Secondly, since there have been zero observations of ghosts, I don't

I have had no dealing with him in the past, and I judge people by their
actions. I hold no opinion of Mr. Snyder either way. However, the fact
that YOU don't like him weighs heavily in his favor.

You are acting like some slippery lawyer demanding a yes or no answer to
some complex question to which I've sworn an oath to tell the whole
truth.

Say, you wouldn't actually BE a lawyer, would you? That would explain a
LOT!

You have NO evidence of what I "believe" and yet you constantly lie
asserting it to be "fact".

No you don't. You lie about this too. You show that for you it's all
about "belief" and not merits. You don't know what you think, so you let
others think for you. At least TreeBert doesn't do that!

This is a statement so blatantly false that it's "not even wrong" as they
say. I've pointed out before the evidence for "remote viewing" which like
Sam on "climate change" is simply ignored as if it does not exist. This
is not how people with high IQs act. I suggest you attend a Mensa meeting
or two to learn more about your behavior.

I never said I didn't like him! If you can show any post where I said I
didn't like him, I'll never post here again! Come on, HVAC, put that
gummint NSA server to good use and try to find it. I like many idiots! I
like TreeBert. I even like you, Harlow!

If you won't give a direct answer to a direct question, I will insert
the answer that best supports my position. Suck on that.

Your woo-woo beliefs are of no importance to me.

You said he was your 'enemy'. I'm pretty much going with the words that
are coming from YOUR mouth.

"will"? You mean just make shit up like you always do and pretend it's
fact. No wonder you have no credibility here.

Nobody is "hysterical" here except in your over-worked imagination. Your
lies are fact not an accusation.

Of course, they are. Otherwise why would you be working so hard to try to
force me to say I "believe" in this or that topic? And oddly when given
hard evidence, you prentend nothing has been said. Very good propaganda
technique but extremely poor science. Are you still pretending to be some
kind of "scientist"? I think that whopper has been pretty thoroughly
debunked.

You misquote me. Show me my post.

Let's just stick with ghosts. Do you believe in ghosts?
It's a simple yes or no answer, BJ. The fact that you will NOT answer it
only points up your weak-mindedness and shame at your OWN answer.
