Of course all fossils, like all species, are transitional, but the fossil remains of Anchiornis huxleyi certainly seem to be a link between dinosaurs and birds, and one would think that maybe now the rabid creationists would admit that there is at least one fossil that meets their incredibly narrow view of what a transitional fossil is. Wait, who am I kidding, of course they won’t!

Corey, don’t you know that “transitional fossils” were created deliberately and specifically to test our faith?
You see, that’s the concept: test by seduction.
You’ll soon learn the brilliance of it when you raise your son: place some candy, chocolate, toy, milk, momy, whatever it is he really likes in front of him and tell him to NOT touch it while he is still far too young to understand what you are saying.
If he heeds your warning, he’s a good son. If he neglects it, he is incurably bad and you ought to punish him eternally, you know, like burn and torture him and all the other goodies done in hell.
That’s how it works between father and son, or daughter for that matter.
