"The robust composite skeleton of a Neanderthal (L) is unmistakably different from that of a modern human (R) in this handout image from the American Museum of Natural History. Neanderthals, the stocky kin of modern humans, were far more widespread geographically than previously thought, with some trekking into southern Siberia before vanishing about 30,000 years ago, scientists said on October 1, 2007." -Reuters
You know where this is heading don't you? (^_^) The next sentence will have to do with some evolutionary justification. But do you see what I see? I see two distinctly human skeletons. One older and with slightly larger dimensions, but both are so very human. Note that their are no wings, no fins, no scales, no exo-skeleton, no gills, no extra arms/legs, and no tail. Without making an assumption a person can only conclude this is not a transitional form, but instead is a fully formed human.
Oh, but I can hear them now, (1)"But they have subtle differences in structure as you can see!" and (2)"It is a representation of transitions!" and (3)"This is an example of natural selection at work; that's why Neanderthals aren't alive today!"
1. Subtle differences are changes within a species; driven by mutations, adaptations, or natural selection. This does not give rationale to the conclusion that humans (or any other creatures) are a transitional form between species.
2. (See above.) Their is no evidence that each creature is simply at different stages of the evolutionary ladder. (This is a relatively recent grasp at straws by the evolutionary activists to side step issue of a lack of transitional forms which would be evidence for their beliefs essentially making them all transitional forms.) At some point one would still see a species change from one form to another and that has never been found in fossil records. (Also, See below.)
3. Yet natural selection is not a catalyst for new genetic information which is well known at this point in even secular scientific circles. That a species dies off means that any potential for genetic variation is lost with it. While the more suited do survive they are not being handed new genetic info with witch to drive evolution and transitional forms.

It's crazy to me that with the understanding we have on the subject today, this type of blatent propaganda is still infiltrating our society.
