Hah! A lungfish is not a transitional form from fish to land animal, it's fully 'lungfish' instead!

Did I just see an answer where someone claims evolution is invalid because we are constantly reworking the lineages as we learn more?
This is why evolution is false, and creationism is true?
I can't tell if this guy is being sarcastic or not.
I can't imagine that anyone that dumb is for real, but life has frequently taught me that my imagination is often insufficient.
Likewise, I can't tell if the question is sarcastic. This list, even with its mistakes, is a testament to science and science's superiority.
Christians, you can't win on intellectual merit, because you have none. You can only win through violence and censorship. This isn't because you are fighting evil, it's because you are fighting reality.

Equus? A horse is a Horse is a Horse of course..
I am not an archaeologist, and I am not a biologist, nor a geologist, the chances that I will ever find any fossil, let alone a transitional one is slim.

Well, finding the fossils is the easy part. But then you have to think up a good name for them. All the good ones are already taken.

People are going to say that none of these are transitional fossils. For example, "Archaeopteryx is fully archaeopteryx, so it's not a transitional fossil between birds and dinosaurs."

Because certain conditions must be met in order for a fossil to be produced. It's quite possible that these conditions weren't met for the creatures you listed.

Good one. The saddest thing is the amount of people who can't recognize irony when somebody slaps them across the face with it. Maybe you should just take the y off, then slap them.
