All fossils are transitional. Evolution doesn't stop despite what a book of bronze age Hebrew folk tales says.

Technically true but i just don't find that to be a useful idea when dealing with creationists.

@Pikachu Facts will never convince a creationist, they're too fixed on their fantasy. :(

You call that collection of sculls proof?

@GodSpeed63 They're infinitely more proof than you've ever manged to offer. I note you can't prove they're not transitional.

@NortiusMaximus One can't reason someone out of an idea they accepted emotionally.

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?
