Give me some answers..........Where are the true transitional phase from one species to another,,,?
How do you defend the fact, that mutations only occur in about .006% of any given species at any given time, yet, evolution claims this small number took dominance at every oppurtunity to displace the other DNA in a healthy population?
And if a bird with a breatbone, feathers, a respitory system that utilizes the skelatal structre, is warm blooded, with a high metabolism. Descended from a reptile with Wing attached to the back, smooth skin, a diaphramic lung system,dense bone, possibly cold blooded( as reptiles are today) and a low metabolism. How do you explain the accepted datings for these changes, that do not provide, for a long enough time frame for even half of these changes to occur?

by the way,, mutations hardly ever survive..
much less contribute.

Will any of you give an answer to a real question..... Or are you incapable of doing so............. I am a real scientist,, my diploma says so.. No get a life comment.. real answers.

Let me help you.. mutations occur so gradually,, ( each " strand" of DNA contains roughly 10 to the 2064 power of info, millions of strand per individual trait. Times two for a breeding pair, reducing back to the individual offspring)
This almost defines the word Infinity.

It is becoming obvious,, no one is going to answer this question,, they will just recite rhetoric,

Do you realise that we are still mutating and still undergoing evolution. What we see now is not going to be the same in say 10,000years, we will have evolved somewhat to deal with the change in environment, be it man-made or natural change. What I find mostly regarding those that want proof that evolution works is a closed-mind to the past and only a focus on now. Look at the different types of people that you get in the world, black, white, yellow. This is an adaptation to the environment, a change, a mutation; evolution. It did not happen over night but took many many hundreds of years. What you are expecting is a leap from one species to another but evolution is a gradual change, painfully slow change.
What you are failing to realise is the interaction of the environment and genes of a person. If you look at the average height demographic of people say 200years ago and look at it today you will find that people these days at taller. Reason for this is the increase in nutrition, better medical care etc etc. This is actually having an effect on our genes and thus slowly we are evolving with the factors.
Chances are though that you will not see this change or understand it since you obviously do not believe in evolution on any scale. Its a pity as its such an interesting subject seeing how us humans adapt and evolve in our environments.
I am a real scientist too, my PHD says so......

okay here is how evolution works, its all about natural selection. If an animal has a certain trait that allows it to reproduce more, its genetics will be passed on to it's children and their children and so on. Best example, monkeys and humans. One day a monkey stood up, nothing big but its a start, this monkey by standing up could see over the tall grass, which in turn allowed them to respond more rapidly than other monkeys and eventually lead to them reproducing more often than the monkeys that did not stand up. The monkeys that stood up did what we like to call evolution, mutation on the other hand can speed things up a little bit. Say a mutant monkey was born with longer legs, suddenly this monkey can outrun all the other monkeys making it more able to get away from being eaten, then this long legged monkey goes and humps another monkey thus creating another long legged monkey. If you don't see where i am going with this im gonna say some not so very nice things. Evolution does not happen by magic, it happens in baby steps with occasional leaps and bounds. It happens with natural selection, the will to survive, and a little bit of luck.

I will try to give you an answer. It might not be everything you are looking for.
“Where are all the missing links?”
We have found an abundance of transitional fossils. What this sort of questioning is implying is that we find every transitional fossil. I will gladly admit such a thing is impossible. It would be like digging up everyone of your ancestors to prove you are a descendent of a Frenchmen. I will give two examples of missing links. One is homo ergaster found to have lived 1.9 million years ago. Fossils and information can be seen here (http://www.mnh.si.edu/anthro/humanorigins/ha/erg.html ). Another missing link is referred to as the Darwin Fish. Simply put this fossil shows the link between fish and tetrapods. The New York Times had an article about it found here (http://www.nytimes.com/2006/04/06/science/06fossil.html?ex=1301976000&en=76a1b46221b5cc6a&ei=5090&partner=rssuserland&emc=rss&pagewanted=all ).
.006%
By shear number of attempts over a long period of time.
"How do you explain the accepted datings for these changes, that do not provide, for a long enough time frame for even half of these changes to occur?"
What datings are you using?
“We have never seen speciation happen”
Such a statement shows lack of research. We have seen it in nature and produced it in laboratories. ( http://www.talkorigins.org/faqs/faq-speciation.html#part5 ) gives several accounts of speciation and failed attempts at speciation. Just because one scientist fails an attempt does not mean that another cannot succeed.

Evolution is what happens to organism after it has been created. Without being created there can by no evolution to work with.
Evolution is the slow process of adaption to a living climent where the created thing lives..
Since there has been several global floods since the beginning of human life on earth. and before . any or most of the traces of for missing links in the chain were most likely ground into nothing recognizable as bone that would belong to the human race.just as there are no traces of many one cell organisms to be found in the Earths Mantle due to tectonic shifts and the weight of material on top of them. you can see the by visiting such deep gorges as the GRAND CANYON were you can see the different layers of silt and such that formed over the past layer. The onionskin effect.

So, "mutations occur in about .006% of any given species at any given time"? Well, that proves the whole theory of evolution. Creationists would pretend everything was made once and for all. But a .006% of evolution IS evolution, too.

If we are to accept your arguments that we were "created" as the Bible would have us believe and we all sprang from Adam and Eve by now we would all be so interbred from marrying with close relations that we would be like you and make a degenerate Hill Billy look like Einstein. Take your banjo onto the porch and contemplate the stars as you chew tobacco.

Wow- I have no idea, but it sounds very interesting. What kind of diploma do you have to learn about all that stuff?
Hope you find the real answer to your question. I think maybe you're a bit too smart for anyone on here.

I defend it by offering that .006% of 3.9-3.5 billion years (how long life has been on Earth) is still 23,400,000-21,000,000 years of active evolution, according to your claim, which is quite a bit of evolution happening. It gets results.

Oh, go and read a book by a real scientist rather than the creationist claptrap that you are recycling.
