Please define what you believe a "transitional form" should look like and your justification for that definition.
Please define what you believe a "transitional form" is Linear - so that one can give a definition of what they would expect based upon your own explanation. It is known that reptiles don't have the 3 bones that mammals have in their middle ear. In the fossil record, in strata below that which the earliest mammals are found, there exists animals with bones from their jaws that are partially in the shape of those 3 ear bones. In most other respects the animals maintain reptilian traits. The closer to to the mammal stratum that they are found, the more defined those ear bones become. Other reptilian traits also become less pronounced. So, based on my explanation of a transitional form, what do you believe a transitional form should look like? Some definiton... There's nothing one can name that isn't "transitional" by that standard. Which is the whole point. You can say lizard is "transitional" between fish and porcupine; but you can just as easily rearrange it any way you please. Porcupine is "transitional" between lizard and fish; fish is "transitional" between porcupine and lizard. All three have some traits which are common and some which differ. They want you to overlook the fact that this makes the "predictions" meaningless. If anything qualifies, what's it prove? That's not science - that's just a pure mockery of science. Where would we be if Newton's laws of motion just said "an object may or may not move, and no matter what happens, I'm right"? Would such science do anyone any good under any circumstance? ANY AT ALL? Now when they're so inclined, evolutionists can define terms meaningfully. Those who do so, well, they end up concluding there ain't no transitionals, as we know.

That they are not to be violated but with his wrath?" - Thomas Jefferson
