@humeWhat kind of fossil are you looking for? Transitional? We have thousands of examples. I fail to see how any one fossil can show evolution though. You need to look at the entire record. Or at least a significant portion of it. That's the whole point; change is gradual over time. Evolution does not predict sudden, large changes. No one "special" fossil supports the theory; the entire record does.

"No - I only want one special fossil that you think supports the theory of evolution."You mean any single of thousands of them? What for?

Namely:a)Are you aware that the number of species of fruit fly are currently numbered in hundreds if not thousands, all thanks to said research?b)Are you aware that fruit flies are one of the most widely-used assets in various fields of evolutionary biology?c)Do you know how stupid it is to say that disproving any proposition that makes no comment on the contents of any medieval myth somehow proves it?

"As you know scientific experiments were carried out on the fruit flies. Radiated over many generations - what happened at the completion of their tests? To their great dismay the fruit flies remained fruit flies - THUS disproving the theory of evolution and confirming the Bible."I would like to take this opportunity to insult your lack of higher neural activity in most creative way I can come up with, but first I have to ask a few questions...

"This is a fact."HA HA HA"Also do you know that the well know Sigmund Freud also committed suicide?"I'd do that too if I had an excruciating throat cancer for a few dozen years on end.

"No - I only want one special fossil that you think supports the theory of evolution"except that you have no idea what such a fossil would look like. if you did you would know that all fossils support evolution

SexyMelon @** "There must be one special fossil that you think supports the theory of evolution - let me know the name.... so we can examine it."Pretty much all known fossils found to date fall exactly where evolutionary theory predicts they should be. Do you want a list? I don't think I can conjure one, especially considering the latin names and said fossils being numbered in hundreds of thousands. **No - I only want one special fossil that you think supports the theory of evolution.

SexyMelon @** "You mean like the fact that organisms observably change over generations, which doesn't seem to support the fact that organisms observably change over generations?" **As you know scientific experiments were carried out on the fruit flies. Radiated over many generations - what happened at the completion of their tests? To their great dismay the fruit flies remained fruit flies - THUS disproving the theory of evolution and confirming the Bible.

(1 of 2)SexyMelon @** "They say that the people who commit suicide the most - are evolutionist psychiatrists."It's funny because it refers to an imaginary profession dealing with people of another imaginary profession. **This is a fact. Also do you know that the well know Sigmund Freud also committed suicide?(2 of 2)Google:Why Shrinks Have Problems, psychologytoday"In 1899 Sigmund Freud got a new telephone number: 14362.

(2 of 2)...... and he was profoundly disturbed by the digits in the new number. He believed they signified that he would die at age 61 (note the one and six surrounding the 43) or, at best, at age 62 (the last two digits in the number). He clung, painfully, to this bizarre belief for many years. Presumably he was forced to revise his estimate on his 63rd birthday, but he was haunted by other superstitions until the day he died -- by assisted suicide, no less -- at the ripe old age of 83."
