Don't feel bad because Darwin had noted the same problem in The Origin of Species –

“Although geological research has undoubtedly revealed the former existence of many links, bringing numerous forms of life much closer together, it does not yield the infinitely many fine gradations between past and present species required on the theory, and this is the most obvious of the many objections which may be urged against it.”

Without physical evidence, the mechanism for this critical evolutionary step remains unresolved and spectulative after 150 years.

keep up boy can you read or do i need to type slower lololololol

Is God willing to prevent evil, but not able?
Then he is not omnipotent.
Is he able, but not willing?
Then he is malevolent.
Is he both able and willing?
Then whence cometh evil?
Is he neither able nor willing?
Then why call him God?

this has been deemed impossible to answer by any theologian for the LAST 2000+ years and as such disproves jesus before he was even supposed to be born

sheesh you can lead a horse to water but you cant make lemonade with oranges

How many times does it have to be said that 150 years ago it was true. At least most creationists are able to articulate what they believe is wrong with the evidence you have been shown. You aren't even able to explain what you think is wrong with the transitions we presented. They all show gradual changes in the skeleton over time such as the nostrils moving backward to create a blowhole in whales all at the same time front legs turned into flippers and rear legs disappeared. There are hundreds of examples of these gradual changes, not just a single structure either, simultaneous, gradual changes in many areas of the animal. This is what you asked for, gradations from past to present species. You don't honestly think that there are going to be infinite variation and that it will all fossilize do you? If you do, you have an incorrect idea about how evolution and fossilization actually works.

If you want me to continue to be helpful in providing the evidence you are asking for, at least have the courtesy to respond like an adult and drop with the idiotic and overused accusations of dodging. You are sounding like a broken record. You should probably take a break from here and learn how to debate and learn some critical thinking skills. Of course science class is where this objective method of evaluating evidence is best taught. I don't fault you for not learning these skills as many people didn't do well in science or just had no real interest. But let's not continue to pretend you understand these issues when you obviously don't understand why these examples I have given are true transitional forms. The very fact that scientists can hypothesize what features an intermediate species would have and then go out and find fossil evidence of those extinct species is a complete vindication of the problem that Darwin wrote about. Until you can give us some examples of what you think hypothetical transitions would look like, you are merely blowing smoke and everyone here can see that.

^^^ Because long before Christopher Columbus and his mother was born, the book of Job said: "The earth is round and it hangs upon nothing." Job 26:7

Now you think about the implications of this statement for a moment. Advise like this is throughout the scriptures. Do you see the light? :bigjoint:

Nice try, but that statement validates the "word of god" no more than the presence of advanced mathematics and advanced astronomy in Mayan civilization validates their purported claims of extraterrestrial visitation. All that is established in that sentence is that knowledge outside the expected domain of a "primitive" culture is present. Sorry, but a duck is a duck. Some things have to be taken on faith alone, Spirituality is just one of those things.

I have heard this often and always found it fascinating. It would be wonderful it Brotherbuz would indulge us and provide us with just ONE meaningful post that actually addresses it in a mature fashion, and doesn't reference bible verses that are contradicted by OTHER bible verses.

At best you're describing "variety" within a particular species, other than that, they aren't in the fossil record! Sorry! Did these transitional links float up to space? Lol lol

Absolutely no transitional forms either in the fossil record or in modern animal and plant life have been found. All appear fully formed and complete. The fossil record amply supplies us with representation of almost all species of animals and plants but none of the supposed links of plant to animal, fish to amphibian, amphibian to reptile, or reptile to birds and mammals are represented nor any transitional forms at all. There are essentially the same gaps between all the basic kinds in the fossil record as exists in plant and animal life today. There are literally a host of missing links in the fossil record and the modern world. Sorry!
