[ QUOTE ] 1. How many fossils have been found that show transition from one species to the next? [/ QUOTE ] If you were to put ice water on the stove at what point would it make the transition from cold to hot? [/ QUOTE ] So your saying that there is nothing missing in the fossil record?

[/ QUOTE ] Of course there is no complete fossil record. We have access to some randomly strewn about fossils from various points in time. But your question misses the point about the theory of evolution and how species are formed. Your question is analagous to looking at 30 xrays of 1 person taken on their birthday from age 1 to 30 then asking to show you the one which shows the transition from childhood to adulthood.

[/ QUOTE ] Um no. That's not it at all. We have hundreds of times more fossils than in Darwins day, and not one that shows any speciation. So are you saying that they're out there and we haven't found them yet? Not one in millions of examples yet they exist? This thought process requires faith no?

<font color="blue"> This thought process requires faith no? </font>
It doesn't require faith so much as it requires logical conjecture. It is possible to form conjecture even if *some* info is missing. If your end result is to try and compare this to one believing in gods and religion, I think you'll fail miserably. Despite some people's claim, there is not one single shred of evidence for the existence of any god. All you have is an ancient book with some very unlikely stories in it. To complicate matters other people have written different books with different claims about "their" gods and religions, etc. Like I said before. Evolution is a "theory" !! It is scientifically testable. Religion doesn't even come close to being a theory.

[ QUOTE ] 1. How many fossils have been found that show transition from one species to the next? [/ QUOTE ] All of them. Every creature is in fact a transition between its parents species and its childrens species. You guys look at everything in black and white; a dog doesn't suddenly birth a half-dog/half-cat, who then births a cat. [ QUOTE ] 2. Is macro-evolution science? [/ QUOTE ] Macro-evolution is a misnomer, I believe. It's just the product of a whole bunch of changes brought about by what you call micro-evolution. How many micro-evolutions does a macro-evolution require? Its like if you shovel sand into a pile, when is it a hill? on the 100th scoop? the 101st? [ QUOTE ] 3. If you answered yes to #3 then where's the tangible, testible evidence? [/ QUOTE ] Evolution is heavily documented, tangible, observed and tested even (for instance you can show that bacteria will select, mutate and adapt to their environment to resist penicillin). Just plug in your arbitrary number of changes needed to count as macro-evolution. X number of these adaptations, and there you go.

[/ QUOTE ] Yawn. Then we should have a fossil of a scale through air resistance becoming a feather right? How bout a scale with some serious frayed edges? They just don't exist.
