Why are there no transitional fossils found in geological rock strata?

Java man was a hoax. so was piltdown, peking, and scores of others. Lucy was completely chimp. There are no transitional forms between birds and reptiles -- name one and I will personally refute it. What about the family tree of the horse? If you look real closely you will see that the number of ribs in these "transitional forms" jump around without explanation. Also, why do people always turn to Darwin for an explanation? how much research did he do? He studied a couple of birds (finches) that had different beaks? What does that prove? If sombody has proof that a dog can evolve into a cat I may beleive it. DNA testing doesn't prove evolution either. Lets assume that a DNA has only 20 components what are the different arangements possible?There are 2.432902008*10^18 different possibilities. even a simple strand of DNA has many more commponents than just 20. Basically my question is this: Why push this stuff in schools. Why can't all you evolutionists just give a straight answer?

1. Because when God caused Noah's flood, it washed 'em all away.
2. You've got the question backward. The real question is why are there so many transitional fossils? As to transitional fossils between reptiles and birds, that trail is very well known beginning with archeopteryx. My question for you is why are you even raising this issue? It is clear from your muddled presentation of the record that your purpose here is to "preach." Why don't you go to the religion and superstition forum where you will be in the company of like minded flat-earhters
3. Ok you dont believe in evolution. Most people who look at the evidence do. Some people dont believe in God, does that make religion all false as well. Certainly you probably have less "proof" in God than evolutianry biolgists have for evoltuion. Fact is evolution as a theory explains the way things are now and in the past, and although you close your eyes to the evidence it explains the way things are in the world. By believing in evolution we know that a drug that cures a disease in a monkey probably will help us as humans. It is practical and useful knowledge that saves lives and that is why we teach it.

Today's horses came from somewhere. > why do people always turn to Darwin for an explanation? I never have. Darwin's been dead for years. No new explanations will be coming from him. > how much research did he do? He wrote the definitive work on how earthworms move soil arond. The observations behind this work took years. > If sombody has proof that a dog can evolve A mini-dachshund is not a wolf. > DNA testing doesn't prove evolution either Correct, but it's good evidence. We share a lot of our genes with chimpanzees. We share fewer with mice, and fewer still with yeast. > Why push this stuff in schools It's a good way to learn about how science works.
