here's what my discussion with one from this vid:
me:
for fuck sake what an uneducated idiot this guy is. no evidence for evolution? mountains of fossils (ALL of which are transitional fossils mind you). Dogs undergo micro evolution, but in science (REAL SCIENCE) there is no difference between micro and macro evolution. micro evolution leads to macro evolution. an example of this is ring species. go check it out. two species that by
him
you are a liar. mountains of transitional fossils? less than 300 transitional fossils exist and all of them are highly debated as if they really are transitionals. billions of found fossils exist and no proven transitionals exist.
me
i guess only an uneducated can't get the idea that EVERY SINGLE FOSSIL is transitional. get your information from actual science sites.
him
oh are you alluding to the same old tired idea that all fossils are transitional since offspring is a mix of the parents genes, thus making a "transitional" lifeform? how ignorant. you know what a transitional would be. its a guanlong evolving into a 40 foot t-rex. its macro evo i want to see, not the mixing of genes which has nothing to do with random mutations + natural selection.
me
wow, you thought a long time of that? no, YOU do not get to defy a what a transitional fossil is. scientists do. and you can watch the evolution guanlong evolving into t-rex. check out the Tyrannosauridae family of teropods, which is actually quite rich. and yes, every life form IS a transitional species, by fucking definition you uneducated idiot. people like you who expect an absolute complete set of fossils of every single species ever need to just understand how fucking rare this process is.
him
well of course you wouldnt talk to me like that in person because i would smack your face off you little punk. but anyway, you are an 18 year old internet tough guy who knows nothing. lots of theropods and no missing links except for guanlong. not very good odds and no, all fossils are not transitionals so you get the education smart ass.
(yeah...)
me
two words: fuck off. smack me? well, i guess when you can't make a logical and reasonable argument, that's what you. ALL fossils ARE transitional, go get a fucking education. again, the process of fossilization is so rare that only an extremely small amount of specimens will ever fossilize. VERY few. evolution is a continuing process, so right now, unfortunately for the future of our species, YOU are a transitional organism dump ass. EVERY SINGLE ANIMAL, EVER, IS TRANSITIONAL.
then this other creationist jumps in
Please clean your language when communicating your views. If all animals are transitional then please define transitional. One must have an animal to transition from, like a cat, and an animal to transition to, like a dog, then, the transitional fossils would be the many minute changing stages from the starting animal to the animal it transitioned to. Even Darwin stated that there weren't any, as well as others after him. There are no transitional fossils between kinds of animals.
from this point on i definitely knew i was in the wrong place for a debate, as they just shit out of their mouth and ignore my every comment. so i just told him
first, define 'kind'. there's no such think in science. second, a simple fucking google search would tell you everything you could ever want to know about transitional fossils.
Wikipedia: go to List of transitional fossils for the EXAMPLES you want, cuz those are the most prominent fossils of transitions between Invertebrates to Fish, of Bony Fish, Fish to Tetrapods, Amphibians to early reptiles, Dinosaurs to birds, and do not dare come back saying those don't count or other bullshit like that
oh, and just for you to know, Darwin wasn't a fucking paleontologist, he was a Naturalist dealing with LIVING animals. he didn't had much knowledge of fossils. to take that as proof that evolution isn't true is like to say Newton's theory isn't real cuz he didn't understand the concept of folding space and gravitons.
oh, and just two years after Darwin made the theory, they DID find a transitional fossil, as you would define it.
what a waste of fucking computing power. these guys don't even know how rare fossils are, and they demand that i listen to them and not scientists who made it their life works.
