[Hac-announce] Videos & Transitional Forms

[Thomas Platt]

The video below that I particularly want to call your attention to is  
the one on Marsh and Cope.  Anti-evolutionary creationists harp on  
the lack of transitional forms, ie, God made discrete types of  
organisms with no overlaps between them.  Yet already in the 19th  
century some very significant transitional forms came to light.  For  
example, there was the previously mentioned bird-like dinosaur  
Achaeopteryx.  In this video mention is made of true birds with teeth  
(Hesperornis & Ichthyornis), and the extraordinary evolutionary  
series of the horse. - Tom
