Amazing Transitional Animals
Darwin said that we should find millions of transitional fossils to support the theory of evolution.
And though we haven't come across any yet, we know it is just a matter of time before we do. Because given enough time, anything can happen (i.e., something from nothing, order from chaos via random chance, evolution, etc. and etc.).
So we have taken the liberty of "reconstructing" what these transitional animals were probably like.
We snookered a bunch of students from the local art school to help us out pro-bono. Now it should be cautioned that these aspiring artists may have pushed their creative license in order to beef up their portfolio and make a name for themselves.
Then we hood-winked a bunch of natural science students from the local junior college to give us a brief synopsis of how these animals probably lived. And they probably took some creative licenses too.
Anyway, enjoy the tour . . .
The "It" was a remarkable species. It had gone through just about every conceivable evolutionary stage before being wiped out with the dinosaurs.
Its adaptabality, combined with pure luck, was It's secret weapon for strongly surviving all those millenia down the long road of history - though it encountered a few "bumps" along the way...
In the Beginning
Don't be fooled by It's appearance. You may want to erroneously belive that this is what It evolved into, but that would be a mistaken assumption.
Actually, this is It's beginning stage! At this point, It was simply known as Thing-A-Ma-Bob-Watch-Cha-Ma-Call-It.
It may look well adapted for survival now, but actually all those appendages were a hinderance to survival (scientifically known as "hinderanceappendages"). Luckily for It, Ma Nature had plans to help It along the way...
"Ma-Bob-Watch-Cha-Ma-Call-It" Stage
This is the stage where the evolving It, through a genetic mutation, lost its wings. But don't feel bad for the little bugger.
All of the other male Thing-A-Ma-Bob-Watch-Cha-Ma-Call-Its who had wings migrated (as they normally did in the winter - females were already wingless, thus they didn't migrate).
Unfortunately for all the other males, a small meteor struck where they had migrated and wiped them out. The next spring, Ma-Bob-Watch-Cha-Ma-Call-It was the only male around in which to mate with.
This is why he looks so happy.
So only his genes got passed down to succeeding generations.
"Watch-Cha-Ma-Call-It" Stage
At this point, It lost its legs (again, because of a genetic mutation). You may think that this spells the doom of It, but keep on reading...
Without being able to migrate, the food supply within the Its' habitat was dwindling to near nothing proportions. This caused great competition with fierce battles among the Its who still had legs.
The legless Its were not attacked because they were so slow and it took them so long to "scootch" over to where the food was, and so they were not perceived as a threat. However, the legged Its wiped themselves out fighting for survival.
This left the remaining food supply for the legless Its to enjoy peacefully for millions of years - once they finally got to said food supply (Note: Legless Its used less energy that legged its, so they needed less food/energy).
"Ma-Call-It" Stage
Chalk one up for genetic mutations again! This time It lost its tail (just like hominid humans did).
Scootching around with a tail was a bit tiresome. The tail, which was once used for balance, was not needed anymore. It had become a drag (no pun intended) which slowed It down.
With the tail now gone, Its learned to roll around which was a quicker mode of transportation. By this time, the food supply for these herbivores had built back up.
Note: The It's eyes were tucked into its mouth when rolling to aid in mobility. It is not yet known how many Its were lost due to unwittingly, without being able to see, rolling into carnivores' mouths. But we suspect about 90 to 95%, give or take a few.
"Call-It" Stage
Don't look now, but the It has lost its eyes. And don't be blinded by conventional wisdom, this genetic mutation was also beneficial to its survival.
The roughly 5% that didn't accidently roll into carnivores' mouths accidentally rolled into dark caves and got lost (as well as hidden from those mean old meat eaters).
Having eyes is useless in pitch dark, so the optical loss was not a hinderance. And actually, this too left the Its better off.
Everyone knows that loss of some senses will "heighten" other senses. The Its' other senses (mainly taste) became super sensitive and aided in the hunt for nutritional moss and other organic goodies growing on rocks and stalagmites.
It was content and happy.
Finally! Finally we have reached the elusive final stage of It.
Also as with hominid humans, a genetic mutation forced It's hair to evacuate the body (At this stage, It also lost a tooth).
And all of this loss of body parts is how the It evolved over millions and millions of years.
Nothing was left except a bulbous body, rough skin and a mouth. Unfortunaley for our little protagonist, temperatures dropped extremely after the dino-destroying meteor kissed the earth.
Had It kept all its hair, maybe, just maybe, It would have survived to today.
But Ma Nature had other plans for It... I guess.
Editor's note: This story was inspired by descriptions of evolutionists showing all the animals who appear to have had body parts shrivel up or disappear alltogether as evidence for evolution.
These parts are known as "vestigial" .
The animal exampless include, but are not limited to, flightless birds, legless lizards,whales with hip bones, snakes, eyeless cave fish, hairless/tailess humans, wingless beetles, etc. and so on.
It reminds one of the knight losing all his arms and legs in battle and claiming that, "It's just a flesh wound!" Or better yet, "I'm a more armored knight now, Woo Hoo! Hit me again!"
These examples seem to better fit the creation model where a "very good" creation is running down and falling apart due to the sin caused curse rather than the upward and onward information generating theory of evolution.
But then again, we're blind fools.
