Every fossil we have is an intermediary stage between life-forms. Sometimes it's a link between species as in an archaeopteryx; other times it is a link between different forms of the same animal, as in horses. You yourself, as you sit there reading this, are an intermediary between early Homo Sapiens and whatever we will be in the future.
True enough unless you happen to get one of the last generations of an extinct species. But that
would be statistically unlikely. Oh and it's nice to see b00b has weighed in with a salient point.
Has he mentioned how evolutionists are perverting real science yet?
Of course. Unfortunately creationists tend to believe that a transitional form has to be literally
half something and half another, example would be kirk camerons 'crocaduck'
I saw that debate and nearly fell out of my chair when they hauled out the placards. And the thought that kept going through my mind was that these people have the right to vote!
The only way that statement isn't true is if there is a final end product to evolution. Those who
deal in reality know that humans are merely the current model, not the end product - provided we
don't annihilate ourselves and the Earth, of course.
Actually, transitional forms are non existent. We see fossils that are variations within a species
which is consistent with creationist science. But we do not see "crocoducks" like sensai mentions
because they do not exist.
As for the horse model, Dr Niles Eldredge, curator for the American Museum in NY said "There have
been an awful lot of stories, some more imaginative than others, about what the nature of that
history [of life] really is. The most famous example, still on exhibit downstairs, is the exhibit on
horse evolution prepared perhaps fifty years ago. That has been presented as the literal truth in
textbook after textbook. Now I think that is lamentable, particularly when the people who propose
those kinds of stories may themselves be aware of the SPECULATIVE nature of some of that stuff."
