I don't blame you for trying to defend your theory by putting me down in a personal manner. Nor do I blame you for insinuating that I lack the knowledge to appreciate your superior wisdom on the subject, so that it is not worth your effort to try.

I do not mind because these are common refuge ploys when one is arguing from weak ground.

Darwin himself acknowledged that the absence of transitional fossils was the strongest argument against his theory, and expressed hope that they would one day be found (they have not).

Evolutionists admit this, and now have developed a theory that animals and plants evolved suddenly in small, isolated populations without gradualism or transitional stages, while the larger populations remained static. With all your knowledge, you must surely be aware of this newer track.

All of this is reminiscent of the crisis in astronomy in Galileo's time. The more anomalies that occurred to refute the earth as the center of the universe, the more the astronomical establishment concocted "patch" theories to explain away the anomalies. Patches were applied upon patches until eventually the accepted paradigm system collapsed under its own contrived weight.

If you claim to have seen "transitional fossils" than I doubt you are clear on what the term means, such as a creature with part fins and incomplete legs, as well as some proportions of gills and lungs as a transitional stage of fish to amphibian. If you can get your hands on a specimen of that type, put it up on Ebay -- you'll make a fortune.
