- Absolutely false. There are *lots* of transitional fossils, however,
- creationists refuse to call them such. I'm becoming convinced that
- *NOTHING* would convince them, no matter how many transitional fossils
- are found, creationists will always say 'oh, they're a separate species
- altogether' or 'they're the same kind', whatever that means.
- Of course they also thoroughly reject dating methods, even when they're
- consistent with each other.
