Does anyone have the fossils of the transition bettween one type of animals and another... example

Even one... is there one fossil of an animal half something have something else?? Anyone can show me?

Even if they could dig up all the evidence, to fill in the gaping holes in the theory, they still have the problem of, where did the first spark of life come from? Which is it? The bubbling mud bog with the 6 or 7 amino acids, nessicary for life floating around? And what force hit the mud bog, to make the acids, into a single living cell? If they can explain this, then they should be able to replicate this in a lab, before they can say it is a proven theory.

Archeopteryx for the win!

Evolution did not happen at 4pm on a Tuesday, with animals half evolved from on animal to another as you are suggesting. Species are constantly evolving and the changes take a long time. a fossil is a snapshot along that very long process, do you really expect to see a fossil of a bird with a fish tail? There may be one, but I would be pretty surprised.

Take a longer view and look at the fossils that we have. If you really seek to understand then there is all kinds of evidence out there. If you are merely attempting to disprove evolution, then you need to do so with science, not faith.

Yes, they do have lots of fossils that are transitional fossils. The problem is there are certain conditions that have to be present for a carcus to fossilize.

Here is a general list of transitional fossils:

Here is a very good one that shows two forms:

good question, wrong people to ask...When I was an evolutionist, yeah, I would argue this point well. But honestly, you aren't understanding the evolutional circle to ask that kind of question. Honestly I hope the "good hearted evolutionists" keep their heads about them as they answer the questions. But Good evolutionists, for the record, historians conceded that tha bible is perhaps the oldest well written history book EVERRRR. Which means the world is not 3 billion years old...And if you used alittle common sense, you would no that our life cycle, at the rate it is going, will NOT last ANOTHER 3 billion years. Look around you...(not trying to give the end of the world speach here) But honestly, do you think that the world, with all the polutions...and all the murder, and violence...and on and on and on...will last another 3 billion years? I don't... and I am not claiming to be anything...all I am saying is that you and your fancy answers that in 5 billion years we will find somethings...doesn't mean didly squat! Use common sense people, our world isn't going to make it that long...the planet is DYINGGGGGG. I will give it 5000 years tops, no more...So, don't give me that 3 billion year bullsh*t...you guys are straight up idiots to think anything on this planet will make it that long....PLease FOCUS!!!!

There are many transitional fossils (Archeopteryx) but a big difficulty is in finding fossils. Another difficulty is in convincing people what they represent.

Too, fossilization is a very rare event. It's actually amazing that anything living is preserved for millions of years. We are fortunate to have the few fossils we have.

You can go to the American Museum of Natural History in NY, or the National Museum of Natural History in Washington D.C. and see examples.

Religion is a faith and doesn't require scientific proof.

There are living examples of animals that straddle the gap amphibians are a good example. There are several others like mamals that lay eggs.

The question should be how do fossils form in only 6000 years.

There are many transistional fossils between reptiles and birds. The Royal Ontario Museum had a large exhibition of them a couple of years ago.

This question only makes sense if you believe the world is only 6,000 years old.

The Earth is 4.5 billion years old and life formed here shortly after Earth's formation. The Cambrian Explosion occurred abot 525 Million years ago, and most of the large beast that roam the Earth today originate from that era.

I wish they would because I don't think they exist. I have read lots of comments from people and Yahoo that transition fossils exist, but I have NEVER seen ANY evidence or been given any link for data about ANY transitional fossils.
No one has even been able to explain how an organ could possibly have evolved which needs hundreds of DIFFERENT parts in order to work. Like the eye. If survival of the fittest is correct, how did the non-working eye remain around long enough for it to finally evolve into one that worked?
With all the billions of evolutionary steps across millions of species, why has not a singe evolutionary change taken place during the time that science has been studying it?

yeah I have a funny theory about evolution, man seems to have evolved until we discovered religion from this point on he only seems to have mentally evolved then in the last 1500 years when Islam and christianity has come to prominence the process has become more of a deevolutionary function , then in the last 300-400 years man discovered alchemy ( science) , which has kick started the process again I'm not being smart **** but if you do a study ion the last 5000years of man you'll see I'm pretty close to right
