The key problem is this: Darwin’s theory relies on minute changes in organisms which slowly accumulate, gradually changing the organism until it eventually becomes a new species. If this is correct, then the fossil record should contain many fossils with forms intermediate between different species. This is not what the fossil record shows.
Keep saying it; we have many, we have many, we have many...We have many transitionals between most of the major splits (fish-reptile, reptile-mammal, reptile-bird, etc...).

Start a thread on this, it'll be fun.Well, let's have a challenge. Can any Creationists in this thread give me the correct scientific definition of a transitional fossil? After that, can a Creationists explain, using the correct definition, why Tiktaalik roseae, Panderichthys, Ichthyostega, Acanthostega, etc... are not transitional fossils? And that's just a few fossils for the transition between fish-reptiles.
Hint: No Creationist on this board has ever given me the correct scientific definition of a transitional fossil. The reason is because once they give the definition, it's impossible to label those fossils mentioned above as not transitional.

Why doesn't archaeopteryx count as a transitional form between dinosaurs and modern aves?
Isn't it difficult to tell that something is a direct ancestor vs. "great uncle"? How did they tell with Archaeopteryx? Presumably not with DNA.
