@blazereef Wikipedia has a list of transitional fossils. It's surprisingly long. :D Tiktaalik is noteable. (I'm not sure "thou shalt not lie" is a commandment, but I think "thou shalt not bear false witness" may be what you're referring to. ^^)

hold on, i thought there were no transitional fossils lol. i wonder how it feels to be a creationist, to see this shit so much yet denie literally every single fossil, every single ERV and every other piece of evidence when it is so abundent that even a child could understand. any creationists about to comment on this video, please, fuck off and stop lying, you have lost, plain and simple, remember that commandment saying thou shalt not lie?
