Despite bible thumpers whining we keep finding transitional fossils

... because you are a Christian who happens to feel somewhat threatened by Darwin's theory rather than notice that you don't disagree with any part of it. You are certainly welcome to incorporate your "transitional fossil" doctrine into your religion, but it doesn't refute Darwin's theory in any way; Darwin's theory doesn't work the way you are claiming it does, and Darwin's theory is unfalsifiable in the first place..

I have no problem seeing Darwin and Genesis are saying the same thing from different POV.

Then you would be mistaken. Genesis and Darwin say different things. Genesis proposes a theory of how life came to be. Darwin proposed a theory of how life, once it comes to be, changes slowly over time. There is no overlap. There is no incompatibility.
 
God can create everything including fossils. The argument is silly if that's your point.

That's a problem, though. Yes it is 100% accurate that God could create anything including fossils, but fossils are evidence of life that no longer exists. They are evidence for past events. The problem with God creating fossils is that it makes God "dishonest" by "planting evidence" which people rationally would interpret to be something that wasn't real.

This is a very good point. Evolution really doesn't have anything to do with the origin of life.

But Genesis proposes that each individual type of lifeform was created as-is instantaneously. That causes lots of problems with taking Genesis literally since the "order" of how the life arose is all wrong (eg fruit trees before fish, and light on earth before the sun).

I can see that side of the argument sure. Does Satan have the power to create fossils? I don't believe so. So that can be ruled out.

My personal belief is that man has misinterpreted much of what is real but that isn't exclusive of a real god. Man does this a lot.

I don't have the answers just faith that this isn't random.

Genesis.

Though I myself am not a biblical literalist, so you will have to make one of them explain how that makes sense

all christians are not biblical literalists either.

you only believe in bibilical literalism on irrelevant things.

the explicit and simple teaching "do unto others as you would have then do unto you" eludes your overwrought microblinkers.
 
god created fossils to mislead the nerds.

they are the ones trying to kill everyone to get a pat on the head from sick uncle Samuel.

How? There's nothing in Wikipedia on the subject. You're also presuming that Cypress in registered for actual college classes. I'm finding your assertion to be a wee-bit shaky.
