:You forgot the fact that these so-called "transitionals" are transitional because someone said so. Saying so is one thing, ''proving so'' is quite another, and until someone sees it actually take place (read "film at eleven") then we're not going to take the word of a scientist saying it's a fact that animal A evolved into animal B because he stuck what he called a transitional between the two. Conservapedia is not going to call evolution a fact. [[User:Karajou|Karajou]] 10:10, 9 November 2011 (EST)

:::Samsonn, there are not thousands of transitional forms as can be seen [http://creation.com/that-quote-about-the-missing-transitional-fossils HERE] and [http://creation.com/15-questions-responses-3 HERE] and [http://conservapedia.com/Evolution#Lack_of_Any_Clear_Transitional_Forms HERE] and [http://creation.com/fossils-questions-and-answers HERE]. As for your comment, "more research is needed", you might want to read [[Essay: As always, there is more work to be done|this essay]]. [[User:Conservative|Conservative]] 11:10, 9 November 2011 (EST)

@Conservative: A creationist blog does not have more validity than papers written by actual scientists. Read the scientific papers, look in the museums! To deny the existence of transitional forms is the same as saying that almost every biologist in the world is conspiring against creationism.
@Karajou: What about all of the fossils which are shown to be a certain age by radioactive dating of the surrounding rocks? Evolution by natural seletion usually takes too long to be seen within a few human generations, so biologists have to rely on fossil records etc. but there are a few instances where it can and hass been observed. Often, this is due to a species being isolated on an island and differentiating significantly from the mainland type within a human lifetime. Artificial selection is a similar mechanism to natural selection, but happens on much shorter timescales. That is why cows produce so much milk, and horses can pull heavy carts, and how sheep produce fine wool. Farmers choose the characteristics that give optimal products and breed them; over time, the species changes to become better at what it is being bred for. Natural selection follows the same principle, except the purpose is survival and the watchmaker is blind.
Here is a very interesting video which shows unconscious artificial selection in action; it has given very interesting results; a human face on a crab shell!:
