This kind of rampant nonsense should convince everyone arguing with crossroad to drop the bone. He is unable to understand your arguments because his personal paradigm is utterly different from yours. He lives in a world of utter certainty and mediaeval fantasy, where thought is heretical.

And in a last post (as pointless as a broken pencil) I give you the most recent transitional fossil. Not billions of examples, I'm afraid, just the one. Enjoy and dismiss as appropriate.

(Oh, and DA, nice try but the bible is a story - a bunch of myths collected in the middle east. Why on God's Green Earth do it's pretty tales have more relevance to reality than the Dreamtime of the Australian aborigines - stories that are at least 30,000 years older? Or any other myth? Why do you accept biblical pre-eminence just because it's familiar to you?)
