If you have a Transitional Fossil lying around your house, fellow Sifters, you might be in luck. Why? Because a Turkish Creationist is offering up that amount of money to anyone that can show him one that proves evolution.
Which fossil would you take to him? I mean, out of the two or three that's out there. I'd probably show up with Tiktaalik roseae. Comments  Sift Talk is a discussion area for our members.

That guy is going to be writing a lot of checks.
But seriously, how about showing him a duck-billed platypus. Or maybe a carnivorous plant? Not that they're transitional by nature, but I want someone to refute evolution based on the belief that God created plants that eat insects, or a venomous mammal who lays eggs and looks like five animals put together.
That guy is going to be writing a lot of checks.
You sound confused. If you believe in creation, why not just come right out and say it?
Meanwhile this guy's proof is a book...and the book is right because said book says so.
whales...
butterflies (albeit quite recent evolution)...
and, well, how about the transitional forms from amphibians to reptiles, reptiles to mammals, reptiles to birds, and primate evolution... HERE
I mean, these include, but are not limited to:
Thrinaxodon
Proterogyrinus
Limnoscelis
Exaeretodon
Adelobasileus cromptoni
The famous Archeopteryx lithographica
Sinornis santensis
Aegyptopithecus
Australopithecus afarensis
...and I'm tired of pasting links. There's gotta be a catch here somewhere, because as demonstrated here, there are thousands of transitional fossils in the fossil record.
He has not really set any rules for what qualifies, or how to win the prize, it's pure P.R. stunt.

They could use that money to do more research.
Every fossil is transitional, but only in a tiny degree.
