Let's see if we can use Creationist logic to disprove Evolutionary Theory. Let's start with a common assertion:
Intermediate forms cannot exist because they wouldn't be adapted. Adaptations are only useful in their final form.
1.) Elephants have fully adapted, long trunks. You won't find anything like an elephant with a short trunk.
2.) Giraffes have fully adapted long necks. You won't find anything like a giraffe with a short neck.
3.) Fish are adapted for swimming; salamanders are adapted for walking on land. You won't find anything like a half-fish half-salamander. Let's say it had one pair of legs and a tail how, could it move? If it still had gills, how could it breathe?
4.) Scientists claim that squid evolved from mollusks like snails. Yet, you won't find anything halfway in between a snail and a squid. Imagine a snail with tentacles.
5.) Well, fine, there are animals like this now. But, what evidence is there that they ever existed in the past?
6.) What about trilobites? Scientists claim that these were everywhere in the fossil record. Why aren't they still around?
7.) Well, maybe it works for something simple but it couldn't work for anything complex. There's no way that an animal could gradually develop the ability to fly.
8.) That's only a minor adaptation. Frogs jump and have webbed feet. This one just has bigger webbed feet so that it can go farther.
9.) That couldn't have evolved. There is no intermediate form.
10.) That doesn't count. Lizards have legs; snakes don't. There is nothing in between a lizard and a snake.
11.) You still haven't come up with a crocoduck.
