It should be easy to test this claim. If you have www access, do
an AltaVista search on "transitional fossils."
Even better, with a few hours work in the local library,
find a textbook or two on fossils, and check out back issues of
_Science_ and _Nature_. The information you get this way will be
more reliable than any opinions we might lob in your direction.
