There is a vast difference between a Dinosaur and a man. If we are honest with ourselves there must be huge numbers of transitional forms. I have started this thread with the goal of showing there are not these transitions.

Could the Evolutionists in this thread put up links to the best-known transitions. I will not accept something like one example, how many creatures are there in the world? Millions, so we should have millions of transitions.

Also Horse and Dog evolution will not be accepted, due to the fact today we still have varying sizes of Dogs. Any size-based transition will be rejected. For it does not prove a change in type, only a change in size.

By starting a thread by auto-rejecting transitional fossil sequences (which btw have a lot more to do with than mere size), you're setting the stage of a dishonest ask. I predict that no matter what is presented, you'll find an excuse to reject it.

Thus this thread is rather pointless.

Could you explain what you mean by "transitional forms". If I read your post correctly you seem to be expecting a transitional form between a dinosaur and a man. I agree there is a vast difference between a dinosaur and a man. While dinosaurs and humans share a common ancestor (waaaay back in the past) there is no dinosaur to man transition.

Thank you.

From my understanding Man did NOT evolve from Dinosaurs
Well that is disappointing:(

The good news? This is not a dinosaur:

Where did you get your information about what evolution says about transitional forms, because it's very messed up.

As others have noted, humans don't come from the dinosaur lineage. (But sparrows do.) So there should [not] be any "transitional forms" between dinosaur and man. The earliest mammals were tiny shrew-like creatures that did live at the same time as the later dinosaurs. They are our ancestors and there are numerous transitional forms between us and them.

Blue and red sentences: So you start a thread to show something and shift the burden of proof to the other side. If you start a thread to show u something, then do so. Or is your position so weak that you don't even attempt?

I am not suggesting you find a link between dinosaurs and man. As I am sure you will state we are descended from mammals not a direct descendent of Dinasours.

What I am stating is you need to give me the evidence. I am yet to see it. If you are so sure you can beat me you had better get your links up.

Humans and chimps share a common ancestor. The extinct transitional hominid species are one of the sets of evidence for this:

Ok, I know to you this is evidence, but does a series of monkey skulls "prove", evolution? Everything has evolved, right? You must prove that. It is possible you have just found various species of monkey?

We evolved from dinosaurs? Well then, Mr FutureAndAHope Evolutionist, if that's the case, then tell me how come there are still dinosaurs!

Edit: Oh, hang on. My bad. They died out apparently. Some mishap with a comet I've just been told.

But really, what is the point of starting a thread in which you state you want to deny evolution when you exhibit in the very first sentence that you know nothing at all about it. I'm embarressed for you...

If you like dinosaurs, how about a transitional between non-avian dinosaurs and birds, archaeopteryx:

Yeah, very, very human-like monkeys... and less-human-like... and still-less-human-like... and finally an animal structured very much like a chimp, except it walked upright almost like a human.

You asked for the transitions, and we have them.

We also have the genetic remnants in chimps, humans and neanderthals that have the same hall marks of relatedness we find in paternity tests.

The point is that we have the facts of evolution we can see in real time, and the evidence of the ancient past indicates that the same process can explain the larger time scale and body plan changes.
