Hi Toni,

Jesus, Joseph and Mary, Runner is a PROTESTANT! Well that explains a lot. When I was just a wee Catholic boy attending Catholic school in the early 60's, one thing Sister Mary taught us was the only thing worse than an heathen and an atheists, was a PROTESTANT! and Sister Mary should know, she had it on good authority from Father O'Flaherty, who had got it from the Holy Father himself when he had visited the Vatican in 1952!
The mere mention of a PROTESTANT would get Sister Mary's Irish temper a blaze, blood boiling, she would let forth with howls of damnation in the name of St Patrick on those sinful PROTESTANTS, particularly those Irish ones, Now Sister Mary was a very reasonable nun when it came to such matters, how could she be wrong?

//Such a brillant mind you have to accept that a big bang gave us all these things.//

Did I say the Big Bang gave us any of those things? You're lying again, runner. Doesn't your God frown on that sort of thing?

All I said was that the idea that the Earth is only 6,000 years old is such a load of claptrap that it is hilarious.

//have they found the transitional fossil yet//

The transitional fossil? They've found lots, runner. The Piltdown Man hoax does not make Runcaria, Aphistium or Archaeopteryx (just to give few examples) fossils fraudulent. That's also so ridiculous as to be amusing.

'Did I say the Big Bang gave us any of those things? '

Oh I see Toni happy to mock the obvious and have no answers of your own knowing how riculous they are.

'The transitional fossil? They've found lots, runner.' Yeah sure mr omniscience. Pathetic attempt. As usual no answers just warped narrative. I am happy to amuse you as you certainly are full of hot air.

//As usual no answers just warped narrative.//

I gave you three examples, runner. Unfortunately I spelt one of them wrong, which doesn't help when trying to google them. My bad. Here's links:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Amphistium
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Runcaria
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Archaeopteryx

Fossils aren't any sort of narrative, runner. You can pick the things up and hold them. They're about as real as it gets.

'Fossils aren't any sort of narrative, runner. You can pick the things up and hold them. They're about as real as it gets.'

Yeah you show Toni how desperate you are by classing these as evidence of a transitional form. As I said your narrative might be confirmed but science trashed. You must have to shut your eyes in denial every day when looking at creation. The apostle was so right to say that those denying the obvious will come up with all sorts of foolishness. You certainly prove that. Go back and look for a fossil that proves your point Toni not some pathetic story. Still waiting for over a hundred years. What a joke.

//Yeah you show Toni how desperate you are by classing these as evidence of a transitional form.//

I don't class them as evidence of 'a transitional form'. You seem to be having trouble with plurals. I class them as evidence of transitional forms. Note the use of the letter 's' to indicate the plural case.

Examples:

One fossil; many fossils.
One book; many books.
One hat, many hats.

It isn't always that simple, of course - the plural of cannon is cannon, not cannons. English is a funny language.

But typically, adding an 's' to the end of noun indicates a plural noun. So it doesn't doesn't make much grammatical sense to try and reduce three distinct and very different fossilised species to a single transitional form.

//You must have to shut your eyes in denial every day//

Nah, I'd wear goggles if I was in denial - but I wouldn't swim there anyway because of the crocodiles, and because it's in Egypt and that's an awful long way to travel for a dip in the river.

//The apostle was so right to say that those denying the obvious will come up with all sorts of foolishness.//

Once again, you seem to be having trouble with plurals: in my Bible, there were at least eleven more apostles than 'the apostle'. Which one do you mean? And what is the book, chapter and verse so I can check that you're not just lying, as you are so often wont to do.

//Go back and look for a fossil that proves your point//

I already have. And I found heaps. I gave you three examples, but there are a lot more than that.

Why don't you put up some evidence that proves your point? Please note that the book of Genesis isn't a scientific paper and that Bishop Ussher's chronology has been soundly debunked by historians as well as scientists.

//Still waiting for over a hundred years.//

The first fossilised Archaeopteryx skeleton was found 155 years ago, runner.

Apparently maths isn't your strong suit either.
