"Do you have a good answer for that child?"

yes

and it begins with all those scientific papers I quoted for you that you don't want to deal with. I understand why you don't want to deal with the research- you may have one book, I have thousands. I went down this road with another non-biologist, who had no grounding in biology, and had never taken a class in evolutionary biology or genetics, and had never even tried to read the latest scientific work in the area. You cannot trust that which you do not understand- and I have no doubt you do not understand evolutionary biology. I do not trust scientists because they are scientists- I look at their work, and I see it makes sense (or it doesn't). When you say there are no transitional species not only does that not make sense from what I have read, it makes no sense from what I have seen- since I have seen transitional fossil species.

You have another thing in common with children. You are not educated in the subject you are trying to talk about.

I have that problem when it comes to math and economics, so I am sympathetic to you, but totally unconvinced by what you have to say. And I have no desire to play teacher- I know some people enjoy doing that here, but I'd rather get paid for it.
