The rest of us learned about this one in the fifth grade, but here's a few links
in case they didn't teach you about them at whatever bible school you went to to avoid having to learn:

I suppose you've never heard of mud puppies either?

Its no use. If you hold up an intermediate species right in front of their faces they will just change their definition of "intermediate species".
That's why I asked the question that elicited the "fish with legs" response. They (creationists) do have a great line in making statements but avoiding being clear about what they are actually saying. This leaves them "wriggle room" later on. So they can accept that evolution happens, its "micro evolution" but deny that this can be used as an explanation for the species on the planet ('cos that's MACRO evolution, which can't happen). Ask them what the border-line between macro and micro (I have) and you draw a complete blank.
Come on creationist - put your theory to the test. What does it actually say - what will YOU accept falsifies it.

I am a creationist and I know about Coelecanths. Evolutionists date rocks according to what fossils they contain, and they date the fossils according to what layer of rocks they are found in. Is this circular reasoning or what? The problem is, evolutionists claim that because they were found in "300 million year old rock" it means that they evolved first - but the fact is that they have been found alive off the coast of Madagascar, which means they could be found in ANY layer of rock!

Whether or not someone has heard of fish with legs before......what's funny about that?
I think it's funny (and sad) that people continue to believe in evolution even though several things have been disproved and/or changed to keep up with the times.
God's Word is unchanging and you have a hard time believing that, yet you can believe in something that keeps changing it's thoughts/ideas all the time?? Interesting

Just went to your links and am not impressed. Guess because a seal can swim thats another. I've seen the "fingernails" on whales and manatees flippers too and still not seeing a transitional form.
