How about a fossil of an animal with a tail of an iguana, a body of a dog encased in a shell like the turtle, 2 hind legs of a horse, 2 front logs of an elephant, a head of a t-rex with 8 eyes like the spider, and a mouth of an ant-eater?

Re: Between what?

Sorry Ned! I was giving an example of what some creationists wanted in the past. The message I was trying get across was that if it wasn't a part dog part cat, part lion part tiger, or part of anything part of another thing, it's not transitional.

I'll go with mark's definition.

Re: Question

Let me ask you a question. Are proto-mammals transitional enough for you? If you want an example of a proto-mammal, just go to Australia.

Hate world.

Revenge soon!

If I show you the real fossil will you accept it as a transitional form?

Not very likely, based on his past behavior, but you can try if you want.

Hate world.

Revenge soon!
