For Creationists who deny that examples of transitional fossils exist: What would you consider to be the characteristics of a transitional species? [Spirituality & Religion]
At least hypothetically speaking, what would a transitional from need to show in order to be considered a transitional form?
FYI, the scientific understanding of a transitional form is that the organism is a mosaic, i.e. that it shows features belonging to the ancestral group alongside features which belong to the descendant group. Many such fossils are known to science.

[quote]What would you consider to be the characteristics of a transitional species?[/quote] I doubt any will dare give a straight answer to that. They'll be too terrified that someone will find a fossil that fits the definition, thereby destroying their house of cards.
