record that should be absolutely replete with them? I think the bigger
question for anyone looking at the data objectively would be WHY ARE THERE
ONLY TWO OR THREE? WHERE THE HECK ARE THE HUNDREDS AND THOUSANDS THAT YOU'RE
SUPPOSED TO FIND IF EVOLUTION IS TRUE?<
Jim,
Apparently, you have not been listening. First you told me that there were
no transitional forms I told you there were a lot of them. You challenged
me to prove that there were any. I feel that I did prove my point in the
case of the whale and the fish/amphibians. I do not feel up to going to the
library and doing the work which you should be able to do for yourself. If
you are interested I am sure there is a large library somewhere near you that
you can visit and brush up on the anatomy of various transitions in detail
from the numerous paleontology books that should be housed there.
My problem is NOT that there is only one or two transitions. My problem is
that there are transitional form after transitional form regardless of what
our Christian apologetical books say. Our are not correct! I documented
two such transitions but there are lots more. My problem is that what the
apologetical books have told me about geology and paleontology have not been
correct. Why do the apologetical books not go into the detail I went into to
show why an animal with both lungs and internal gills is not a transitional
form? Those books don't even mention that Acanthostega has both gills and
lungs. Why? Would that information make people think that Acanthostega was
a transitional form?
The issue is not why would God not be able to create just these forms, He
could do that easily. But why do I find numerous transitional forms, which
anti-evolutionists, like you, never mention?
You wrote:
"Next, I'd ask what is wrong with the explanation that God created these
forms?
Why is this explanation rejected out of hand?"
God can do what ever He choses to do. But how far do you want to take this
reasoning? I could ask you why you don't believe that God created the world
as it is 5 minutes ago? Why is this explanation rejected out of hand?
What do you see as the difference between these two competing explanations?
