Below are 5 so-called transitionals as presented by the evos.


1. Ophiacodon, Early Permian, Texas: "skull had changed from the small low shape...this allowed for longer jaw muscles to develop."


2. Phthinosuchus :) Base of Late Permian, USSR: " strikingly similar...but with larger synapsid opneings behind the eyes.. paelontologists believe this to be intermediate in structure between pelycosaurs and Therapsids.


3. Thrinaxodon, Early Triassic, South Africa, Antartica: "Another mammalian trend seen in the lower jaw... teeth were set into a signle bone,, the dentary, which had become larger at the expense of the smaller bones at back of jaw."


4. Cynognathus: Early Triassic, South Africa, Argentina: practically the whole lower jaw on each side was made up of a single bone, the dentary...coronoid process at back of dentary articluiated with the skull and meant the jaws could open wide.


5. Morganucodon: Late Triassic to Early Jurassic, Africa, Europe, Eastern Asia:




Lets trace out their travel plans....




In the first Picture, Ophiacodon packs his bags and heads north from Texas to the USSR and then becomes Phthinosuchus. I wonder how much trouble this guy had crossing the Appalachian mountains on his journey to evolve?

Then a few yers later Phthinosuchus decides to head south, passing through Pennsylvania and New Jersey...and ends up in South Africa and Antartica where it becomes Thrinaxodon.

2.jpg


Thrinaxodon then hangs out there for a while, evolves into Cynogathus then decides to head north again and takes a trip to East Asia.

3.jpg


I suppose some where on this journey Cynogathus decided to evolve into Morganucodon during the early Jurassic.




WOW....What a long strange trip its been.


All that time, all that distance, all that evolution....and the transitionals are spread out all over the globe... with no evolving fossils found on the way? why?


Could it be the scientist that have a faith in evolutionism...collected these fossil fragments from all over the world...picked out the ones that made sense to their theory...and lined them up?

Why would evo's think there were "transitional" species?
Transition from what to what?
Aren't all species in transition?:burglar:

My post shows what they (the evos) think from what to what was in this instance. The pictures show at what great length they take to line them up in some sort of order...then say...LOOK!!!

The false line-up has happened a number of times.
They can easily fall on their face trying to prove an
imaginary sequence.

Considering there is no true line up...they're all false. Especially fish to reptile to mammal to ape to man.

In most cases, the scriptures don't cover biological details or even geographical.
For example, a known percentage of babies are born unspecified gender per their DNA.
How are they straight...or gay?

By "the evos" you actually mean biologists and paleontologists who are experts in their fields and have PhDs, rather than people who don't believe in evolution who read books published by Apologetics Press and Google U.

It's the idea that, somehow, actual experts are wrong and you're right despite having no credentials or experience.

I don't quite have the audacity to disagree with 99% of biologists.

99% of them do not hold valid licenses with required annual training to be licensed as practicing biologists.

The Appalachian Mountains aren't all that big today, and they were much, much shorter 300 million years ago, which was around the time they'd just started to form.

As to the rest of your post, i don't quite see your point. Animals move to different habitats all the time. Over the course of millions of, many of them have moved all over the place.

So what?

...biologists are people with PhDs in a field that is part of biology, usually as part of a subspecialty.

It's a degree and a job description. It's not like a medical license or something, dude.

I fail to see what that has to do with the OP.

Oh, I forgot...you're an expert. Then again I really suppose you are just riding on your high school indoctrination.
I would imagine you also refust to believe Jesus rose from the dead on day 3 because experts in their fields that have PhDs have told you resurrection is impossible. Yes? Dude?

Which would make it easy to pick and choose...and then line up according to wild assertions and speculation.

Oh, what a long strange trip it's been.

Did a fact check....

One more thing....
The Appalachian Mountains ( i/ˌæpəˈleɪʃᵻn/ or /ˌæpəˈlætʃᵻn/,[note 1]French: les Appalaches), often called the Appalachians, are a system of mountains in eastern North America. The Appalachians first formed roughly 480 million years ago during the Ordovician Period and once reached elevations similar to those of the Alps and the Rocky Mountains before they were eroded.....

Clearly, because the "Christian" part of my profile was expertly hidden right below my user avatar.

That would be true if they were found in random places. They're not. As the pictures you posted show, they're found where they're supposed to be as the continents were linked and spread apart, such that biostratigraphers can chart their movement.

So, either:

a) these animals lived at the same time and, when the worldwide flood came, they JUST SO HAPPENED all die in the exact places they would need to, in perfect order, and they JUST SO HAPPEN to leave radiometric dates that wouldn't just show them to be old, but that they all were progressively younger and younger.

b) the species moved along as the continents shifted, grew and evolved, and left fossils along the way.

You should read a little deeper.

By about 300 million years ago (Pennsylvanian Period) Africa was approaching North American craton. The collisional belt spread into the Ozark-Ouachita region and through the Marathon Mountain area of Texas. Continent vs. continent collision raised the Appalachian-Ouachita chain to lofty, Himalayan-scale ranges. The massive bulk of Pangea was completed near the end of the Paleozoic Era (Permian Period ) when Africa (Gondwana) plowed into the continental agglomeration, with the Appalachian-Ouachita mountains near the core.

http://geomaps.wr.usgs.gov/parks/province/appalach.html

You'll notice that it only reached those extreme heights AFTER the Carbineferous Period, which was 350 to 300 million year ago. And even then, when the continents collided, it's not like the mountains sprang up in a week. It still took a very, very long time.

I would say it sounds like they were placed in the exact spot the evo needed them to be in. Oh, what a long strange trip it's been.
