There's never been any evidence of transitional kitties.

One of my favorite pieces of music, too.

And, might I add that Ben Carson is a pretty lame excuse for someone who had to study LOTS of science to earn a medica degree.

On his visit to the Galapagos Islands, Charles Darwin discovered several species of finches
that varied from island to island, which helped him to develop his theory of natural selection.

It's not about steady states separated by "missing links." It's about continuous development over the millenia.

Battling with Creationist is a hopeless cause, they are all as ignorant as Ben Carson, but I do my best to keep them out of our public schools.

Anyone who doesn't recognize evolution as a core concept of biology doesn't know squat about biology.

They believe it because a book, that has been translated and edited for over 2,000 years is accurate. Science, with all it's evidence, especially at the DNA level, is suspect. There is no reasoning with them.
