Hey man.. just went and checked out the transitional fossils page.. sounds to me like they are saying that when we look at the fossil record we see evidence of "natural selection at work".. Well, that is to be expected.
No matter where we look however , we don't see a half something, half something else, because natural selection would not allow it. You can't have a whale, that over millions of years grow a leg.. that would be useless to it, and would give it a survival DISadvantage...
Just as a flipper on a horse would be equally as combersome, and make the animal more pron to be eaten.
Try to for a minute, visualize what a half something half something else would look like.
And as for the rest of their claims, I am not sure what they are talking about, but definatly not real transitional (in a macroevolutionary way) fossils. The world's leading evolutionary authorites admit to there not being any transitional fossils..
Stephen J Gould says "the absence of fossil evidence, for intermediary stages, between major transitions in organic design; indeed our inability even in our imagination to construct funtional intermediates in many cases has been a persistant and nagging problem for gradualistic accounts of evolution."
"...transitions between major groups are characteristically abrupt."
"yet to preserve our favoured account of evolution, by natural selection we view our data as so bad that we never see the very process we profess to study" (Coming from someone with a HUGE vast budget, and the resources to do that study. ED)
This man has studied the fossils so much, that he put forth an idea called Punctuated equilibrium. The idea behind it being that he is honest with the lack of fossil evidence for transitional fossil. He thinks that overnight or "in very rapid succesion" the animals have evolved to be the way they are, and the evolution happened so quickly... over millions of years, that there is no fossil evidence for it...
That is the amazing thing about evolution... the whole theory is SO pliable... that it simply can not be refuted because no matter what a person says, evolutionist will come up with a JUST so story.
