CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

Well "Ptah and "Atum" are actually different aspects of the one. Together with "Sokar" they were the names for the triad or the trinity in Heliopolis, the site of a sect in Egyptian religion. " In Heliopolis, this triad would be known as Ptah-Sokar-Atum, but hailed as Osiris." They correpond with the names "Father, "Son" "Holy Spirit" or "Brama, Vishnu and Shiva" (" Hindus view cosmic activity of the Supreme Being as comprised of three tasks: creation, preservation, and dissolution and recreation. Hindus associate these three cosmic tasks with the three deities, Brahma, Vishnu and Shiva. Lord Brahma brings forth the creation and represents the creative principle of the Supreme Being. Lord Vishnu maintains the universe and represents the eternal principle of preservation. Lord Shiva represents the principle of dissolution and recreation. These three deities together form the Hindu Trinity.") in other cultures.
Unkulunku and Mbombo are from African satellite religions and can be traced back to a major religion in Africa (specifically Egypt). So there is no real need to chase these down and the Egyptian mecca will suffice.
"Allah" is actually Arabic for "God" (" The word "Allah" is the perfect description of the "One God" of monotheism for Jews, Christians and Muslims!"Allah" is the same word used by Christian Arabs and Jewish Arabs in their Bible, centuries before Islam came.").
"Nanabozho" is the name in the Native American culture for the Spirit or the source of life. It can be known under various names and characteristics and can have certain physical representations based on what manifested trait you wish to emphasize. It corresponds with the Father, Brahma, etc. (" Namtbozho is apparently the impersonation of life, the active quickening power of life of life manifested and ci"1odied in the myriad forms of sentient and physical nature. lie is therefore reputed to possess not only the power to live, but also the correlative power of renewing his own life and of quickening and therefore of creating life in others.").
"El" is simply another name for the Supreme One.

I find it hard to believe, in a world where survival of the fittest is easy to see, that in-between species could survive...much less thrive.
And that is in the case of all the transitions you've listed.
Maybe the reason these links are missing is because they never existed in the first place.
You didn't answer my question. What particular lineage of transitional fossils would you like me to provide for you?

And how many fossils do you require to consider something "daisy-chained"? If I give you 5, will you ask for 10? 100?
I also must point out that your questions is fundamentally flawed as species in one genus do not evolve into species of another genus, rather, they share a common ancestor.

What kind of question is that?
I would require all of them.
Genus A, species a ... Genus B, species a
Daisy-chain horse → cow; or bird → Bob; or whatever.
Oh, please.
My guess is that there should be at least a billion between one genus and the very next one.
Remember that grayscale argument and how I showed the number of Hz from red to violet?
It appears you don't understand what I mean by asking you to daisy-chain your fossils.
I totally disagree with this -- (but I don't understand neoevolution like it is taught today, either).
In any case, you're not going to convince me of anything until you daisy-chain about a billion fossils from one Genus to its next.

Nice drawing, by the way, but I'm not going to connect dots that I don't think ever existed.

You can disagree with it all you like but in no version of evolution has a species in one genus ever evolved into a species in another genus. That you do not understand this after god knows how many years of being on this forum shows how utterly futile your time spent here has been for you. You have learnt nothing.

You remember the phylogenetic tree? I'm sure you've seen it. Well, species on one branch do not hop onto other branches. We can all trace our ancestry back to the base of the trunk of the tree, but the tip of the particular twig we are on either stops or splits or carries on going as it is. It doesn't suddenly become part of another branch on the tree. Do you see?

What did I leave out in the Question I was Quoting And Answering?
ETA also if "They're Allowed" dazzles you, or baffles you, you really need to read more.

I don't know if you mean too, but you're coming across like a d-bag.

I just had a phone call with god. It said it wasn't happy with what you were saying about it and that you were dead wrong. You might want to stop before it smites you.
