A challenge for evolutionists (a demonstration)

A challenge for you stinking spineless evolutionists:

Point me to some transitional fossils that have been found in non-vertebrates (you know invertebrate animals, plants, fungi, monera...)

If you can't do it that probably means there aren't any transitional fossils in the largest part of the fossil record.

This is the right way to demonstrate the lack of transitional fossils in the larger part of the fossil record... The wrong way can be found

HERE.

Course, you could do what has been done HERE, then just pretend that it demonstrated that there were no transitional fossils in the larger part of the fossil record, but that would be lying through your teeth, so please just stick with the challenge as I have posted it.

Jerry, I think you are being purposefully obtuse. Someone already did point you to some transitional fossils in non-vertebrates on this thread:

http://www.christianforums.com/forum...threadid=18171

Is that not enough? What do you want now, little signs sticking out of them saying "I was not a polyploid?" Really...

Well, it does answer your challenge, so you can't lie and say there are no transitional fossils from the larger part of the fossil record, and there are a few nifty pics of the fossils available right here on the net... here, have a look:

Well dang-it. Looks like someone answered my challenge already. Oh well, live and learn...

I'm still not satisfied. Maybe those aren't really transitional, and the scientists who studied them made a mistake. I really don't have time to go to the library and check the journals to see if I know something they don't. Are there any other examples?

Wow guys! I thought you wouldn't be able to answer the challenge, and then I could be all cocky and strut around pointing out the complete lack of even the flimsiest evidence for evolution in 99.9% of the fossil record!

Anyway.. looks like I'm all wet... but just in case all of those are bogus (I really don't have time to dig up the primary research on them)... Are there any more examples you could point out to me?

I'll say this before anyone else.

Jerry, I think you need to see a shrink for your multiple personality disorder.
