Transitional forms are organisms that contain some traits of one type of organism and also traits of another type of organism which are not found in the first type of organism. 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?


Well, based upon the word "transition" we'd expect to see just that. A move from one state into another over a period of time. Surely there would be no transitional "form", but rather many transitions to explain the time period required and the changes that would need to take place.

Therefore, my view is, we would expect to see these stages of transitions clearly within the fossil record. Unmistakeable examples of a myriad of creatures clearly showing such transitions and the stages inbetween. E.g. with any such bird evolution scenario, one should provide half leg/half wing structures. This is absolutely essential to prove that this process ever took place and it should be easy, considering the vast amount of time, which would give a vast amount of fossils available to us.

Would you also please give examples of a creature/s that has evolved, (fossil photos) as evidence to the transitions it went through to arrive at the outcome it is today?

Bear in mind, a matched up sequence of fossils does not make them transitional forms. And if it does, then I'll expect such evidence showing the matched up sequence of the bird evolution showing the incredible intermediates with half leg/half wing structure - the very transitionals we'd expect to see if such a process had taken place. Which will give viewers a clear and unmistakable example.
