(Kent Hovind) Creation Seminar 1 - Age of the Earth Part 3

it's pretty obvious that new species are being found in the fossil record indeed, thanks for pointing that out.. Im talking specifically about transitional species, half breeds, steps.. something that is between two KNOWN species.. I think I posted this same sentence about 10 times now..

Yes, and? Do you need someone to google "transitional fossils", or are you going to dispute them all? It's pretty widely available stuff.

Is a platypus not a transitional animals? What about a mud skipper?

looking for something that exists between two known points.
of which there should be using probability anywhere from 4 to 1000 times more common to find in the fossil record than the know species.

Then google "transitional fossils"

I'm not sure what you're searching for here -- its all freely available information. I'm not sure why it should conform to a convoluted view that you have of how many "STEPS" there should be.

You keep referring to known points by the way - I'm guessing this is where your red herring comes in. You're expecting two animals we see today, or what?

So, how about that platypus?

no red herring. no hidden motives.

Excellent.

wouldn't it be nice if finding missing links was common place, instead they find one every 10-20 years and declare, the most wonderful find, now we have a link between species, except the exact opposite should be the case, there are 10's maybe thousands of steps between species, missing links should be found as common place, and finding a regular known species should be the rare find.

They are common place, what are you talking about? Obviously you didn't google "transition fossils" otherwise this would be absolutely glaringly obvious.

How can you really complain about the literally hundreds of transitional forms we have, when given the rarity of a fossil even forming in the first place?

Typical of a creationist, you defeat them and then they decide to move the goal posts. First it was there aren't any transitional species, and now it's well there "SO FEW".

This is simply a blatant lie.

are you referring to me asking "where are all the missing links?, they should be common"
as to me moving the goal posts?, it's just a question it's not an answer.. just trying to follow your argument.
I thought I saw a red herring there. :)
