Creationists are always asking for transitional fossils showing the progression of a animal's change over time. How about for human evolution? [Spirituality & Religion]

All fossils are transitional. Evolution doesn't stop despite what a book of bronze age Hebrew folk tales says.
@GodSpeed63 On the contrary, you've just proven ours. 😆

Point of fact: you didn't [i]prove[/i] anything. You asserted that the fossils weren't transitional. Hypothetically, even if you were correct, you still wouldn't have proved it.

Allow me to explain it in terms you can neither fail to understand nor object to:

If you find a dead body with a knife wound and then a trail of bloody footprints leading away which end with a man holding a bloody knife, you may assert that he did not commit the murder but you have not proven that he did not.

Similarly, the trail of evidence points towards transition through the fossil record.
You may assert that the fossils do not demonstrate transition but unless you can explain WHY they do not then you have proven nothing. Savvy?

I think you're being over optimistic.

It seems incontrovertible that humans have not always existed in their current form, that there were earlier “versions”. The creationist narrative is that humans were created in their present form. That does not square with the fossil evidence.
@Pikachu Creationist are very fond of saying examples of transitional forms aren't really transitional forms. Of course, they won't give their definition of a transitional form because their house of cards will come crashing down when such an example is presented.
@NortiusMaximus

Yeah like i said, i'm having trouble getting an answer on that one.
@Pikachu I doubt you ever will get a definitive answer from them, for the reason I've given.

@Pikachu Dear Jesus thank you for the toothache i had at 3am last night. Thanks too for letting me stub my toe on the bed post and for that truly wonderful time you let me sit on a bollock!
@Entwistle

Thanks to Eve for that. Bitch.

Insurance companies attribute bad things to him. Notice how "Acts of God" are invariably bad?
😕 I DON'T believe I came from a monkeh... I refuse to believe so....🧐
@SW-User 😒 Both fling their poo 😂 i don't want to be compared to that...

@Snowvixen There are humans who still do it, albeit metaphorically more than physically, lol

Apes separated from monkeys about 25 - 30 million years ago and we are a type of ape.

Nope, no transitional forms.
@GodSpeed63

No, because they try and force science to confirm their faith positions rather than honestly follow what the evidence shows.

Now give me your answer. What makes a person a scientist?

One that has a heart for science and seeks the truth instead of their own glory.
@GodSpeed63

You don't need a heart for science. You need a head😉
And that's why creationists are often poor scientists: they're heart wants their spiritual beliefs to be true and that makes them ignore good science where it doesn't fit.
