Evolution doesn't stop, so everything is technically a transitional form

Think of the billions of organisms alive today. Then think about how many well preserved fossils we have uncovered. Fossilization occurs under very specific conditions and our fossil record is more often than not just snapshots rather than descriptive of an evolutionary lineage. That being said: There should be literally millions of undiscovered fossils out there in sedimentary deposits we cannot easily reach. Also, when selective pressure is high, genetic change is quick. This leaves little time for transitional forms to exists.

that argument maybe made sense like 50 years ago. practically all "missing links" have been found. that being said, this is probably bait in which case, gg.

I think a reasonable definition to satisfy a creationist would be

a species S is a transitional species between a species T and a species U iff
i) T is an ancestor of S
ii) S is an ancestor of U

One of the biggest problems we have in anthropology (I'm a geologist not an anthropologist so it would be nice if an anthropologist also weighed in). But one of the biggest problems in anthropology that we have is we have too many hominid bones. We have so many of them going back millions of years that it's too difficult for us to decide, 'when is this a human and when is this another species'.

/sci/, there are maybe a dozen actual creationists in the developed world. The rest are trolls.

I'm not sure if this had been said yet, but the transitional fossils are hiding in your mothers anus. Along with literal metric tons of black semen.
