on transitional forms: an essay
Not so fast, the creationists say, shaking their deified heads. Things don't happen randomly. Material scientists are the ruin of this world, they say, because they deny the gifts of God. Life is beautiful, and each animal is intrinsically unique, designed with precision by God's own hand. The platypus cannot be a product of evolution, a transitional form, because, according to the Creationists, transitional fossils and animals do not exist. They point to the many missing pieces in the evolutionary theory, the patchwork nature of it, the guess work.


I cannot address the entire evolution/creationism controversy. But any archaeologist or zoologist or any sort of scientist who knows what he's doing knows that the lines drawn in science aren't so concrete. Rigid categories do not exist, except in the minds of their creators. The world around us is fluid, filled with transitional states of all forms. > >
