A Tale of Two Forms

The search for missing links has gone on for decades. If paleontologists have been looking for them for that long, you'd expect them to come back with boat-loads of transitional forms. But you haven't. So where are they?

You were probably indoctrinated with the notion that Archaeopteryx was the transition from reptiles to birds, but that is not the case. "But it had feathers, a wishbone, and asymmetrical feathers. This shows it was part bird. It also had teeth, claws on its wings, and bones it its tail, all of which birds lack, but reptiles have." I can see how this can be evidence for evolution, but my view is that these features make it a "mosaic" of both animal groups, as CMI puts it (but it resembles a bird so much that it might as well be an actual bird). Also, there are no fossils showing the transition between scale and feather. In fact, there are no fossil links in the fossil record connecting it to birds or reptiles. "True" birds were actually found below the place where Archaeopteryx was found, and according to Darwinists, lower fossils mean older fossils.  Furthermore, the way its neck was found indicates that it drowned (possibly in a global flood!). See Archaeopteryx‎ and Archaeopteryx is a Bird

You may have heard of Australopithecus afarensis, also known as Lucy. She is supposed to be the ancestor of mankind. But get this: her hips were modified to look like human hips. Also, the hand bones were never found, so we can't even conclude if her hands were "human-like". Most scientists now conclude that she was actually a type of pygmy chimp. Watch this video:

I've only listed two (famous) "transitional forms", but if you have any other missing links that you want me to cover, or if you have questions, comment below! Also, tomorrow I will be discussing theistic evolution!
