All Change!

A common and misleading claim of Creationist literature is that there aren't any examples of transitional fossils. In other words every creature that ever existed on this planet has appeared without even a glimmer of any preceeding relatives in the fossil record.

Well, a special edition of the Journal 'Evolution: Education and Outreach' has come out that is all about transitions. It's open access so anyone can read it and you'll find it here.

There are in fact some very good examples of transitions and they provide strong evidence that rather than 'zapping' new creatures from nothing the Creator works through process to bring His word to fruition.

  1. Gerard Kelly wrote in one of his twitturgies:

    "We swim in the atoms of the breath of God. We are spoken into being, imagined before we emerged. God thinking out loud = us"

    I love that and it resonates well here.
